Jeep Liberty/Electrical/Head Units

Standard Radios

There are two radio options for the Jeep Liberty: the standard RBK AM/FM/CD radio and the RBQ AM/FM/6-Disc radio. Both come out to be around the same cost if you figure that to listen to more than one CD in the standard radio you'll need to add an external changer anyways. However, the RBQ comes with RDS while the RBK does not.

Navigation Radios

There are two Mopar navigation radios available for the Jeep Liberty, the RB1 and the RB4/RB3. The RB1, manufactured by Alpine, includes both a map for navigation and artist/song information for Sirius satellite radio, making it a more expensive and feature packed version of the RB4. The RB4, manufactured by Harmon International, includes only turn by turn directions without a visible map, but supports U-Connect. The RB3 is the European version of the RB4 with support for more languages and real time traffic re-routing. Of course, there are many after market solutions, including units from Garmin and TomTom. More advanced users might even want to think about a notebook or car PC running Microsoft Streets and Trips.
