Default Fitting and oem navi?

Hey guys I have a 2012 sport and I have a standard factory radio, I found on Craig's an oem navi for cheap, my question is, what's needed to fit it and can I hook up the features like blue tooth or would I need a whole new steering wheel and that nonsense? Thanks in advance

Should be plug and play. I put a 730 nav in mine from another 2011. Everything including Bluetooth and steering controls will work. If you have sirus the nav will also work.
You will need to buy a mic kit.

Starting in 2011 the sirus and GPS antenna are combined. Meaning if you have sirus radio, even if your jeep did not come with Nav., you have the Nav antenna. Previous models had two separate antenna and two separate plugs in back of radio.
2011 and up has one plug.
I had the basic radio with sirus, I purchased a 730n Nav unit, plugged it in and everything works.
Also the Bluetooth/connectivity is built into the radio (2011 & up) not a separate unit.
You will need the microphone kit from mopar, about 60 bucks, to be able to "talk" to the radio and for hands free calls.
