Description
Full Plug-and-Play Kit
Upgrade your 2011-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with Prolific Audio’s custom-fit radio kit for the Sony XAV-9500ES flagship radio.
Experience the ultimate in engineered mounting solutions for your vehicle 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 or retaining stock dash structural components.
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.

The Prolific Audio Difference
Not all car radios are created equally.
Cheap Chinese units dominate search results but consistently fail on fit, sound, and long-term reliability. Here’s how our premium kit stacks up on every point that matters.
| What matters | Prolific Audio Kit | Generic Chinese Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Dash fit quality | ✓ Custom OEM-look flush mount, no gaps | ✗ Universal bracket – gaps, flex, rattles |
| Sound quality | ✓ Sony DSP, 55W × 4 MOSFET amp | ✗ Thin output, no DSP, muddy low-end |
| Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto | ✓ True wireless, Bluetooth 5.0 | ⚠ Wired only or unreliable wireless clone |
| Satellite radio | ✓ Real over-the-air SiriusXM, works with no cell signal | ✗ Streaming only, cuts out in dead zones |
| Wiring / harness | ✓ OEM plug-and-play harness included | ✗ Splicing required, steering wheel controls lost |
| Steering wheel controls | ✓ Full integration, plug-in | ✗ Requires separate adapter, often incompatible |
| Customer support | ✓ Lifetime install support, US-based | ✗ No support, or overseas email only |
| Long-term reliability | ✓ Sony hardware warranty, known quality | ✗ Dead in 12–18 months is common |
| Install time (DIY) | ✓ 1–2 hours, no cutting, no guessing | ⚠ 4–8 hours of troubleshooting typical |

Outstanding! Fits like a glove. Instructions are a little lacking but still very straight forward with all the pictures. Took about 2 hours to install could probably do another in 30 minutes, very easy and thought out. Running the Microphone cable took the most time. Love the radio and huge Wireless Carplay. Thank you!!!

I finally got my husband to install it from Christmas. I love it, Thank you! Looks great, solid, and finally got Carplay on a HUGE screen in my toy.

They wouldn’t sell me a bezel for one with out the radio. But no worries I sold my old 9500 to buddy. Makes sense because it looks like the radio chassis has a modification to it. Looks so much better. Thank you!

I love it looks great needed the large screen and Wireless Carplay that my S5 has. The radio I wouldn’t say it has the most bells and whistles but damn it is well designed super easy to use everything is right where you need it. I would of like to not have to cut my jeeps dash but honestly I doubt its ever coming out anyways!
