Jeep OEM Navigation Radio
 

I am considering upgrading my factory AM/FM CD player in my 2002 Jeep
Wrangler Sport to the Jeep RB1 Navigation Radio. Of course I would install
the unit myself for approx. $600.00 instead of the dealer charge of
$1500.00. I do like the all in one features, convenience & dash location.
The only drawback I can see is it won't play ripped MP3 disks. Looking for
feedback from owners with this option installed before I take the plunge.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.

John - '02 Jeep Wrangler Sport

I bet the thieves like that 'all-in-one' feature too. Be careful.

For the money I'd look at aftermarket. You can get a very good radio
with MP3/DVD/XM and Navigation. Check out your local audiophile shops
where they build competition audio systems.

I started out just to add a bit more bass to my system and wound up
competing in IASCA.
