1997-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ Newport 1.5 DIN Direct-fit Radio-RetroSound
1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ Newport 1.5 DIN Radio
1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ Newport 1.5 DIN Radio
The RetroSound® Newport is the most authentic radio replacement for your 1997-01 Jeep Cherokee XJ with its factory 1.5 DIN radio opening. Installing a standard DIN-sized radio in these vehicles looks awkward and out of place, leaving unsightly gaps in the dash. The Newport fills your full 1.5 DIN opening perfectly and looks period-correct giving you the best of both worlds: modern audio technology and a factory-like aesthetic. The Newport installs quickly and hassle-free thanks to the included mounting kit and wiring harness. The Newport is available with your choice of 3 different feature sets.
If the dash in your classic vehicle has been cut or modified, our Universal DIN Repair Kit can help you restore an authentic look. Check out our video on installing a RetroRadio using our Universal DIN Repair Kit.
Add more power to your RetroSound Radio with the Quadraphonic Amplifier. The Quadraphonic is a 4-channel amplifier and connects directly to your RetroSound radio delivering 45-watts RMS to all four speakers. Pair it with a RetroSound 8" powered subwoofer for a complete audio system that's a breeze to install.
Note: Bezels, knobs, faceplates, and replacement parts are non-returnable. Please refer to product packaging for the most up to date country of origin. If you are not sure as to fitment, please contact us.
RetroSound radios are a modular design. Assembly is required. This design allows for a more adjustable fit and to offer different style options. RetroSound Radios are only compatible with 12V negative grounding vehicles.
