We go pick our new Sport Unlimited up tomorrow. My plan is to devour the owners manual tomorrow night.

I can actually read!

No need to wait. Jeep.com has the owners manuals on line.

I prefer the electronic version so I can search at my leisure at home. Find a feature (such as a volume button) on a picture and search away! Or better yet, put a version on your smartphone so you have a searchable version with you.

Or you can do what so many others seem to do - drive it off the lot and never look back! (or at an owner's manual).

Nope, my '11 rubi has them as well ( infinity package... That I'm ripping out because the stock head units suck) but they will also work w aftermarket hu's with the PAC.

The DVD is pretty good for information, but with all due respect, the best "manual" that I have found is this forum and the other jeep forum. I've learned more on these forums that go beyond what the manual says.

I'm telling ya - Jeep.com has all 116 pages of the full owners manual for you to download (not be confused with the technical manual which will cost you). There's also the supplement (50 pages) and user guide (124 pages) there to download too. I doubt the DVD has more.

You will learn a lot from the Jeep forums. You can be mislead a lot from the Jeep forums. The fun part is figuring out for yourself what's right, opinion, or outright bullcrap.

My highly-scientific analysis is the forum posts are 15% right, 35% opinions (neither right nor wrong), and 50% bull. That last sentence is clearly in the 50% margin.

BTW - 82% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
