Can bluetooth be added to integrate with the 430N navigation system to work like the conecctivity group?

What's involved?

Thanks,
Jacob

Thanks for the reply! Did you already have the factory 430? What did it cost you to add said items? Does it work through your radio?

Thanks,
Jacob

The 430 (rhb) doesn't support uconnect by itself, you need to order the connectivity separate when ordering it. The 730n (rhr) does have uconnect built-in, and as such you can simply add a mic. The problem that I've run into is that I ordered a rubi with connectivity, and then bought a 730n to add when it arrives. I basically will need to disable the uconnect, and use the 730n as a stand alone. Pm me if you want to consider a trade if you do t already have the uconnect.

I had the same issue and i had to buy the U-Connect module kit from the dealer. I think it cost about 350 for the kit and it came with a mic,module,wiring harness, and software. It works great.

HI Jeep Dave,

Thanks, but I don't really want to start pulling out the factory nav unit just yet.... but I appreciate your offer.

Thanks KSSTING,

What did you have to pay for the installation?

Do phone-calls come through your jeep's speakers?

Thanks,
Jacob

The dealer actually did it for free because they misled me but i think they quoted 180? The calls do come through the speakers and everything works like it was factory installed.
