Uconnect vs new stereo

[idahobaja]

New to the site so sorry if this has been discussed at length already. I just bought my wife a 2011 Liberty sport. I do not have the Uconnect module but have found one on Ebay for about the same price as a new stereo from Crutchfield. My question is this, is Uconnect worth getting or would it be better to invest in a new deck with the same capabilities? How much do I lose and what headaches do I get by making the switch? My wife isn't into big booming sound so I really am looking for the best way to gain ipod/iphone control and bluetooth/handsfree

Thanks,
Idahobaja

Best bet is to buy off crutchfield. You will need a 300 piece to use the mygig hands free which doesn't come with the stereo.

First what head unit do you have in your KK

It is the standard that came with the sport in 2011, 130 cd I believe. Has connections for Uconnect but no module. It doesn't have touch screen or NAV

Having used both uconnect systems in my KJ and in my uncles 2012 t&c van I would go with the uconnect system than aftermarket. one it is plug in play and once installed it is easy to pair to your phone. I have a factory uconnect system that I pulled out of a 06 t&c van from the junk yard in my KJ and I love it
