Default Upgrade to 430N Navigation from media center 130 Worth it?

Hey guys, Im new to the forums and have a question about the audio options in a 2012 JK RUbicon. I have ordered the truck from the militray Overseas Sales program, and Im getting ready to finalize everything, and I was wondering if its worth it to upgrade to the 430N Garmin Navigation setup from the base model CD 130 stereo. Anyone have any opinion or it? Please let me know your thoughts! In case you are wondering I ordered the JKU Rubicon in Black Forest Green with the black and dark saddle interior and a black freedom top. I also addeded the Uconnect feature to it.

Since I dont really care about the actual Navigation features, but I would like to be able to play DVD's etc, and Ill be getting a lockpick for it, should I just stay with the 130 and uconnect, and add a lockpic, or should I upgrade to the 430N, get rid of the uconnect, and add a lockpic and mic?


Im really excited abou it, its our second Jeep. Thanks!

Upgrade to the 430N with the connectivity package

It's well worth the difference

See my connectivity package demo YouTube video

With the 430N you will still need the connectivity group. The 730n has it built in. That is, if you want the Bluetooth features.

I ordered my 12 mall crawler with the 430N and connectivity, If it ever gets here i'd be able to tell you what i think. I'll just sit here and wait and wait and wait .......
