Prolific Audio Complete DIY Audiophile upgrade for your 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT.

Introducing Sony’s Flagship Elevated Standard (ES) series audiophile-grade radio, now available as part of our comprehensive kit designed to elevate your Jeep’s sound experience to unparalleled heights. We’ve taken care of all the intricate details, including the fabrication and design of a 3D-printed ABS mount. This mount not only enhances the aesthetics of the receiver but also seamlessly integrates it into your dash, providing a polished look rather than having it protrude or hover awkwardly in front. Your Jeep deserves the best, and our kit ensures that the exceptional sound quality is matched by a sleek and sophisticated appearance.

Experience the ultimate in engineered mounting solutions for your Jeep JL with our unparalleled design. We maximize the use of every factory mounting screw, providing the most secure and precise fit available.  Our kit does not require any sub dash modifications that every other kit requires.   Making our kit the best option for anyone who is worried about theft.

 

Wireless Carplay and Wireless Andriod Auto

WHY DID WE MAKE A KIT?

Floating radios just don’t look right from the sides.   Our kits complement the OEM styling of your vehicle.  Making the Beautiful 9500ES look like Jeep designed it for your car.

If your car is Amplified:   (PLEASE READ)

Our kit works with either amplified or unamplified systems.  However,  if you are amplified and you plan on upgrading your speakers in the future and or adding a subwoofer(or better).   The whole audio system needs to be upgraded.  Our system will not work with some of the speakers hooked up to the factory amplifier and others not.  This is due to the digital amplifier in this vehicle and how the radio interfaces to the digital factory amp.

6 reviews for Jeep Wrangler Gladiator JL / JT (2018-2023) Prolific Audio Audiophile Sony XAV9500ES Plug-and-Play Radio Kit

  1. Chris Hemmings –

    I recently installed the XAV-9500ES kit in my Jeep JL, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much it’s improved my audio experience. The sound quality is a huge upgrade over the stock system, and the touchscreen is incredibly responsive compared to the old aftermarket deck I took out. I was initially concerned about the installation, but everything fit perfectly and went far smoother than I expected. I would definitely buy it again.

  2. Mike Silva –

    I couldn’t be happier with this radio. It look stock. All my stock controls work as they did including the backup camera. The kit is definitely 3D printed but the parts you can see when its finished look like a million bucks. I’m doing one for my buddy’s JL next week.

  3. Brandon Curren –

    I saw these ads for months before I bought one. I don’t know what I was waiting for. What a difference it makes. Fits awesome install took a Saturday Morning.

  4. Andy –

    I was originally planning to going with a different radio my friend talked me into, but after some thought, I decided to spring for the XAV-9500ES instead. Now that it’s installed, I’m so glad I did! The larger display is a huge bonus, I honestly wasn’t expecting it to sound any better but the sound quality is fantastic. I was a bit worried it might be overkill, but it fits perfectly and feels like a real upgrade from the stock deck. The installation wasn’t bad either, and now that it’s all set up, I’m happy I went with the 9500. HOWEVER, BE WARNED THE STOCK USBS DO NOT WORK WITH THIS RADIO THEY SAY THE UCONNECT MODULE CONTROLS THEM. Other than that It’s definitely been worth the extra investment!

  5. Thomas –

    Like the others said its great USBs don’t work afterwards but honestly you don’t need them with this radio anyways. Love it

  6. Ed Franklin –

    Wow! awesome great install videos! Love it!
