Replying to: kbr1350 (Mar 07, 2008 6:29 am) The SAME exact thing happened to my radio!!!! I thought it as the fuses, so I bought new fuses, nothing was fixed. I pushed every button, still nothing. The clock orks still and some of the buttons are lit up. PLEASE let me know if you get yours fixed and how and what you did!!! Replies to this message: grandpopd (Mar 13, 2008 5:05 pm)

Replying to: saysay1414 (Mar 12, 2008 5:12 pm) I just purchased a 2008 Grand Cherokee 2 weeks ago. On day 3, I stopped for gas and the radio w/ NAV stopped working. There was no sound from AM, FM, SAT, CD, or NAV. Yet I could apparently change stations. Several hours later, after the car sat for awhile, it worked again. I had the dealer check it and they found a TB for it. But several days later, the same thing happened. Believe it or not, it was just after I filled the tank again. Once the car sat for a while, the radio worked again. REALLY WEIRD! I haven't contacted the dealer again just yet.
#4 of 44 07 JGC 4.7L with REF AM/FM/CD/AUX radio AUX problem by naatz1 Mar 14, 2008 (4:03 pm)
I posted this on the gen'l JGC problems & maintenance forum but thought other owners might find it here first on this new radio oriented forum. From Feb 17:   I have a newer 07 GC Laredo with X package and am wondering if any out there have figured out how to keep the radio in AUX mode.    The audio system is a base single CD w/Bostons Acoustics amp adder. This REF model radio has AM/FM stereo, single-disc CD player w/bass, treble, balance, and fade control through on-screen menu -AND- front mount auxiliary audio input jack. I did not want Sirius since I have had XM for many years and own the Delphi portable XM that I dash mounted. In our 01 & 04 cars we used a cassette deck adapter to direct feed audio from the XM unit and the car audio always stays in cassette play when you turn it off/on. However this Jeep radio goes back to FM radio mode upon restarting the Jeep when you turn off the Jeep with the radio in AUX mode (the XM unit powers off/on automatically when is senses a loss of 12VDC power, 4 years old and perhaps "smarter" then the newer Jeep radio?).    Anyone with a 07 or 08 model feeding the AUX with XM or even a MP3 player ie ipod figure out how to keep this Jeep radio in AUX mode?   From Mar 14 07: I will answer my own question with what our dealer got from Jeep engineering: you must turn the radio OFF before turing off the ignition and then the radio stays in AUX mode when you start the car. But of course you have to turn the radio back on again as well.   One of the crazier answers I have ever heard. The radio does not require that operation to stay in AM,FM or CD mode as you can switch off the car with the radio on and it goes back to the mode you left it in. Seems to me a true design bug! I don't think it's worth fighting, but one of my first (minor) disappointments with this new vehicle.
#5 of 44 error by flammable May 10, 2008 (8:28 pm)
similar problem wev got, started off as an on and off problem but now dosnt work at all, thers like a squeeling constant static coming thru the speakers and if your able to get any proper sound its muffled, thought it might of been the speakers so we swaped them for new ones and the problems still there, its not just the radio it happens when a tape is in aswell, we tried putting a speaker directly to the radio and it worked perfectly but when its hooked up "properly" it dosnt, its really starting to get annoying now.

#6 of 44 '01 grand cherokee radio by scott108 Jul 15, 2008 (7:35 am)
i am not sure if i found the answer but here goes the question.   the radio still lights up and i can change the channels, enter a cd etc but there is no sound. replaced the fuse but to no avail. any suggestions?? if 1 speaker is bad or the wire is disconnected will it effect all of the speakers.
#7 of 44 Another Nav problem by grandpopd Oct 02, 2008 (3:59 pm)
After several repair visits, the dealer douwnloaded an update to the Nav system, whic was supposed to cure the periodic no-sound problem. But the update has changed the icons on the Nav system, but now it doesn't match the instruction in the manual. While I think the update added so features to the Nav system, which I like, it would be nice to have the addendum to the manual or a new manual. The Service Manager at the dealership has the same problem. Replies to this message: grandpopd (Nov 08, 2008 8:23 pm)
#8 of 44 Lemon? by allengo Oct 05, 2008 (6:52 pm)
My '08 GC has had the REN stereo (MyGig without nav) replaced twice and still has the same problems. As I switch from mode to mode (satellite to hard drive to bluetooth, etc.) the volume controls become unresponsive. The volume levels go up and down, but the sound remains the same. I have to turn the volume down to zero, wait a few seconds, and then I can control it. Anyone else have these problems?

#9 of 44 CD Player/Replaced Battery by moorefield Oct 06, 2008 (10:30 am)
Does anyone know if there is a code to get my 6 disk cd player to work on my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo? It stopped working after my battery was replaced. The radio still works, it's just that the cd player option is not there anymore. Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 06, 2008 10:46 am)

Replying to: moorefield (Oct 06, 2008 10:30 am) Don't recall seeing anyone post about that problem before; it's always the radio code that's needed.   You could try finding and pulling the fuse for the CD player and see it that resets it.
