Alpine i509-WRA-JL Installation + Pre-amp voltage test

IN THE SHOP - In this video ‪@carstereochick‬ documents what it's REALLY like to install the Alpine i509-WRA-JL in a 2018 Wrangler JLU. Her husband, business partner, technician John previously upgraded the full audio system in this 2018 Wrangler using the PAC AP4-CH41R2, JL Audio Twk-88, JL amplifiers, Morel speakers, JL Audio Stealthboxes, etc. However - the client recently started having issues with his 8.4" UConnect display and decided to upgrade to wireless CarPlay with the 9-inch Alpine i509-WRA-JL. In order to replace the Jeep 8.4 Uconnect with the Alpine i509, John had to relocate the Twk-88, but 1st he also had to see why the Jeep 8.4 Uconnect was not working.

If you're thinking about buying the Alpine i509-WRA-JL and installing it yourself, this video is for you. Especially if you're the type that doesn't like to read directions. There is no sugar coating this installation. Especially if you think this is something you're going to tackle over the weekend like some kind of Ikea bedroom set. You know those projects you try and do over the weekend with your spouse, right? Thinking you'll be done in a couple hours and before you know it your Saturday is shot, it's dark out and you still got hours left. It's a bit like that.

This is also what it's like on any given day at the shop! If you're curious about how John and Annie manage work together as a husband and wife team you may find this entertaining. They each have very different approaches to the process. However, their differences ultimately make the end result they deliver to the client much better than either could possibly put forth on their own. We hope you enjoy watching this Alpine i509-WRA-JL installation video.

Towards the end of the installation process you will find the pre-amp voltage testing completed using our Fluke 123B Oscilloscope and Audio Control DM-RTA. The results are quite interesting to say the least!
