The different trim levels of the Wragler JL and the Gladiator JT come with different options which will make
the installation vary slightly. If the vehicle has the 115V Power outlet or the Cold Weather Group package
then there are different brackets that will need to be used. If your vehicle does not have those then you will
not need to use those. If you are installing the i509-WRA-JL in a Gladiator JT then a few of the steps will vary
slightly so please take notice to this as you go through the installation. Also the screen size in the pictures may
be different if you have the 5.0” display. The following chart shows which options are available on the different

There is no way to integrate the factory SiriusXM tuner. Once the radio is removed, the factory SiriusXM is
removed. As the title states, SiriusXM requires a tuner sold separately. This diagram shows how to integrate the
antenna connection. For vehicles with factory SiriusXM connect the adapter to the factory SiriusXM antenna in the
radio cavity. The factory SiriusXM antenna is located on the passenger side B-pillar. For vehicles without factory
SiriusXM use the antenna that is included with the SXV300 SiriusXM Tuner.
