Working on a 2018 Jeep Renegade with the Beats Audio System(dre should be ashamed to have his name on that crap)

Installed a JL Audio Fix 86 Processor in place of the factory amp added the JL Audio 900.5 Amp to run all the speakers new JL Door Speakers and a JL Sub.

So my question is:
This Jeep is all digital media it has no CD Player for me to do the calibration.
I found a download on JL site for the Fix Calibration and put it on a USB drive and it saw the file but wouldn't calibrate.
I am currently using Windows Media Player to rip the CD JL provided to make the files MP3 format and put them on the USB drive and see if that works

Will this work or am I screwed and it has to be a CD?
I would think with the way things are going as far as media in cars goes that there would be a way to use the Fix 86 without using a CD player
Thanks in advance for the help and ideas
Bernie


EDIT:
I was just reading the Fix86 Manual again and noticed it needs analog inputs in order to read the calibration.
I am starting to wonder if the Beats by Dre system in this 2018 Jeep Renegade is digital. I found some schematics online and noticed a white and blue wire going to the inputs of the amp that are CAN BUS wires.

Again thanks for any help
Bernie

Ok got the calibration figured out sort of

I used the rear signal that inputs into the factory amp for my signal since the fronts have no signal.
So I also jumped the rear signal to give me a front signal so all channels would work.

I do have another question:
The front signals going into the amp had no readings what so ever no signal.

So the problem i am having right now is the bluetooth calling feature has no sound. Meaning when you make a call they can hear you but you cant hear them.
I am wondering if the signals going into the amp that have no readings are for the bluetooth signal? I will be taking truck apart again this weekend but just seeing if anyone on here has any ideas.
Bluetooth streaming works fine and sounds great.

Also I am going to have to run a separate knob for the sub because the DRC-100 doesn't control it separately. This maybe because the way I had to run the signals but either way a separate knob isn't a bad thing.

Over all the sound is amazing just some control issues and the bluetooth issue, when all kinks are worked out its going to be a sick system.

One more thing. I know that i need a 5watt 47ohm resistor for the factory sub wirings since i am not using it anymore. But since I changed all the speakers do I need one for each speaker?

Thanks for any help
