Cracked Touch Screen, Cherokee & Grand Cherokee.

If you happen to crack the screen in your Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee(and many Chrysler models for that matter), there is relatively cheap and easy fix. First of, I checked with my contact at my local dealer. There is two ways to go about this if going through the stealership.
Option 1. Dealer can replace just the touch screen for a small fee of $900 but, if that doesn’t fix it they will gladly charge you another $1000 to replace the entire unit.
Option 2. Get a new head unit up front and skip the touch screen replacement, $1000.
What in the duck? Option number 2 would be a no brainer.
Well, if you are a relatively gentle person with a little finesse, you can easily replace the touch screen yourself at home for just under $200.

Check the number on the back of head unit to ensure correct screen is ordered. In this case VP3

Pop your head unit out, easy and breezy. Proceed to remove few Torx screws, take apart.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Make sure to remove most of the old foam padding from the frame and try to leave as much of the sticky strip underneath, for the new screen to have something to adhere to.

Lastly, put everything back together and enjoy jamming out to Justin Bieber again

Great ‘how to’ here:

I wouldn’t use a screw gun or the utility knife, like the inked up fella in the video. I used a razor blade pictured above and just your good old screw driver.

Crazy, but cool fix. My kids smashed the one in my wife traverse. 900 down the drain. Didn’t even think about ordering one and fixing it myself. Moral of the story, don’t let the kids play in the damn car.

This is a good one...nice work on both ends. I still haven't removed the factory film cover on my screen. Was actually looking at it yesterday and thought I better clean the dust off the film lmao
