The last time my ZJ got a stereo 'upgrade' was in 2006 when I removed the Infinity Gold cd player and replaced it with the cd/tape combo. Since then I've been using the cassette adaptor to play music.
Well that head unit is dying, can't pick up radio and sounded like crap so I did a little upgrade!
I did some measuring to try to see which of the joying universal android auto units fit, and while the XJ guys use the 8.8, that didnt fit well in the ZJ. So I went with the 6.5" Android Octa Core 4GB unit with the volume knob.
To me it fits almost perfectly and the design meshes well with the ZJ's interior. I have a similar unit in my BMW, but that one is actually made to fit the dash and ive had NOTHING but issues with it. This joying was literally plug and play and it works great.
One thing to note: You can hook up the power antenna, but you'll notice it acts weird. Its cuz the antenna is up any time the unit is on, even when it is sleeping. So after you take the key out of the ignition, the head unit goes to sleep for a minute or two before fully shutting off, its only then the antenna goes down.
Here is the link to the unit and the bezel I got

This is the unit I got, you can also get it without buttons, i believe the screen is a little bigger. It works great
I also got this bezel, it does a decent job of covering up most of the back of the unit
