Default Audio help

hey guys recently baught a double din head unit from a friend its a jvc aw-avx840 head unit. i have sub and a amp that is already in with the stock head unit using a Line Out Converter. so the main question i have is what is the wiring harness that is used for the adapter for a aftermarket head unit that ties into the stock wiring behind the head unit. i would rather not use the same line out converter set up. i wunna re do the install of the subs and get everything finally looking professional. if anyone has any ideas or the parts that i need that would be great.

PAC Harness #C2R-CHY4. Without Steering Wheel Controls
PAC Harness #RP4-CH11. With Steering Wheel Controls

You will get 2 different connectors. One of them will be the correct one for your Jeep.

With that kit, there are two harness'. And one communication interface ( the blue box ). I don't know why there are two. But you will only need one of them. I contacted PAC about the two different harness'. They said that Jeep has two possible harness'. So they include both to make sure you get the right one.

This pic might help. I just installed a jvc in my 2010. The adapter at the bottom of the pic is all you plug into the jk. There were a set of wires and a headphone cord that I didn't use- that's for steering wheel controls. You will also notice the black plug I spliced in. I got it off eBay so video is enabled while driving.

I used butt connectors with built in heat wrap tube. Really straightforward.
