Default Upgrade to 430N nav on 2011?

Has anyone upgraded their base 130N radio to a 430N nav radio? Is it just plug and play plus whatever is needed for the GPS antenna?

I wouldn't put a factory unit in I'd go with a nice aftermarket.

The RHB 430N 2011-2013 JK's

Do you have Sirius ?

If yes then that is your GPS antenna.

If not you'll need a GPS antenna kit.

If you don't have the connectivity package In order to make the u connect work you will have to have a u connect module kit which will include the microphone and u connect module.

The 730N RHR 2011-2013 JK's

This unit already has the u connect module built-in were all you need is a microphone And satellite antenna.

I have Sirius, UConnect, and connectivity already, so it sounds like all I would need is the head unit

Plug and play. That's all you need.

Was in the same boat and bought a 430N and have never looked back

So does anyone know if the 430N in the JK is a high speed or low? speed radio? I ask because I found one on ebay, but it says its high speed and fits a WK.

JKs are high speed, as are the new WKGrands. However, the WK and Durango use a different mounting pattern and won't work. You need the one from a JK, Ram pickup, or minivan.
