I’ll be swapping out a 12 month old Alpine iLX-107 from my JK very soon.
7” touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Siri, GPS, camera inputs, etc, etc.
It’s currently working perfectly off the steering wheel controls.
As others have said you should just need a wiring kit like this one, that you can get locally for under $200.
This specific one says it runs all of the steering wheel controls and the factory sub;

I just picked up this JK for the wife the other day, the previous own had this head unit professionally fitted about a year ago, but the wife needs Android compatibility.
Was going to throw this Alpine up on market place for cheap, if you’re an Apple only type person and interested in it let me know.
