2005 Jeep Liberty CRDAuburn Hills, MI - For motorists who desire top-of-the-line communication systems, the 2005 Jeep® Liberty has the equipment to fit the bill. Simple-to-use and hassle-free technological advancements in vehicle entertainment add to the driving experience of the 2005 Jeep Liberty.

“The Chrysler Group’s vehicle communications strategy places an emphasis on creating a safe driving environment through practical innovations, while enabling customers to choose the services they want,” said Jack Withrow, Director, Vehicle Entertainment Communications. “It’s all about simplicity, safety, freedom and flexibility.”

RB1 NAVIGATION RADIO SYSTEM
The RB1 factory-installed Navigation Radio system is housed in the center of the Jeep Liberty dashboard, which allows for easy access for both the driver and passenger. The 4.2-inch full-color display features AM/FM stereo, CD player and navigation system in one unit. Utilizing voice commands, the system guides the user through the drive route, mile-by-mile, turn-by-turn until the final destination is reached. Destinations can be entered into the system eight different ways and the screen can be viewed as a detailed map or enlarged to be viewed turn-by-turn. When coupled with SIRIUS™ Satellite Radio, the stream listing, stream category, song title and artist can be viewed on the system’s display screen.

The RB1 Navigation Radio was offered as a Mopar® dealer-installed option on 2004 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles. The first factory-installed option was available on the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2005 Chrysler 300. Factory-installation cost varies from $1,200 to $1,500, based on equipment package and content. Pricing for the dealer-installed version of the RB1 Navigation Radio is $1,595 (suggested retail price) plus labor.

A control pad and microphone are housed in the vehicle’s rear view mirror serving as the driver interface.
