I got my 2012 Sahara 2 weeks ago , I copied the following from owners information CD which came with it.
I guess one needs to pay extra for additional services which I don`t see traffic among them.
The Nav looks and works just like my Garmin . Unfortunately 2012 Saharas come with NAV according to the dealer
so I could not opt it out.
My radio is 430N but I understand 730 model has subscription traffic display feature.

Thanks for all the input.

I'm not seeing anything here that is worth the price of either the 430 or the 730. No killer features? No system integration?

I think I'll pass.

When we bought our 2011 JKU Sahara my wife mandated that she would not let me get a Wrangler unless it had the factory navigation and leather seats - Two features I was against having in a Jeep. When faced with the alternative of not having a Jeep I bought the navigation and leather. After having the 730N for a while now I have to say that I have warmed up to it and now really like it. Of course I installed the lickpick thing and that helped as well. I just drove 2.5 hours and watched goldeneye to pass the time on it. (I know, not safe...I only put in movies I've seen 100 times so I don't have to watch the screen the whole time)
The way the music library is stored and accessed and controlled by the steering wheel controls is awesome as well.

Oh well, to each his own!
