Welcome to Wrangler Restyle where we compare aftermarket Head Units for Jeep Wrangler JK models. We cover both “Restyle” or units with a screen bigger than 7″ which usually is accompanied by a restyling or change to OEM dash plastics and also compare them to many popular Double DIN sized units. In my Vendor Impressions post I share personal viewpoints of the brands listed below gathered either from personal product experience or from a Vendors online presence, unit data availability and responses to and/or ease of communication. Hopefully this insight proves useful in your product decisions. In the table below I outline many of the specifications and technical aspects of the units that I (1) either researched prior to my final product decision and purchase (2) have been constantly compared to as I’ve shared features and experience of the unit I bought or (3) are significant vendors in the Restyle product category that I disqualified out of hand in my pre-purchase research for one or more of my 4 primary criteria listed in my Product Purchase Philosophy post.

The specs were derived from vendor sale sites, manufacturer data, instruction/installation PDFs and other technical sources I could find. I actually tend to lower my opinion of a unit when technical specs are not specified which you’ll see throughout the comparisons. Dasaita, Seicane and Joying seemed to list the best technical data about their units where the US vendors Alpine and Insane Jeep Audio, together with AIMTOM were all very vague when it came to the particulars of their units. Feel free to comment below if you see citations that are incorrect or if you might know of sources to help me complete the ‘Not Specified’ fields…
