I have a 2008 Jeep Sahara Unlimited with the stock system in it (touch screen with DVD player), will this work for it? Does it need activation?

I'm not sure if it will work with the Nav system since mine was the base CD player, but I know that it will require activation to work. The dealer will need to plug into the OBD port and download a software update. The going rate is around $50.

Keith is right, the old remote should work just fine (assuming that it has worked to control your vehicle entertainment system). The remote control is paired with your vehicle entertainment system (perhaps even just the DVD player), and has no relationship to your IR audio headsets. Even though the remote control can play and pause and stop the DVD player, the DVD player will continuously broadcast the infrared audio stream associated with whatever video is being sent to that audio player at any given moment. This infrared audio stream can be picked up by any infrared headsets within its field of view.

Yes. It works on my 2013 Sahara and it will work for your Rubicon. You will have additional features the non Rubicon jeeps don't have. Ability to control the lockers and sway bar disconnect.

There is an annual fee and works with compatible viper systems. Also you may have trouble activating. They only allow authorized dealers to activate and they won't do it unless you buy from them which cost much much more. I got lucky and called dei and they activated for me but you may or may not get lucky. Just google viper smart start and look on the viper website and it tells you which units are comparable and how much the plans are. It's definitely worth it if you can get it activated. You even get roadside assistance which is awesome.

exactly, on previous OEM versions once you installed it was locked to that hardware. I am looking for full version where I can install on a new system and move the license if I ever change hardware.

If you are able to play a dvd on your system then yes. You can add a backup camera to this system but you must have a video in/out on your radio. All other features will work. I used this on my 09 lincoln which doesnt have a backup camera but my radio did not have video in/out so i couldnt use the feature. When you put the car in reverse with this unit activated, the screen goes blank as if it is turning on the cmera function of the unit and screen so if your radio has that video in/out it will definately work. I love this unit. Works as advertised!!!

I ordered it and put it in a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2013 (JK) with the 730 Nav. It works great. Totally plug and play.

What year? I actually bought this for my wife's 2007 jeep wrangler, manual transmission. No luck getting it to work at all, even with the required bypass module. That's not to say it wont work, I just didn't get it to on ours. Dunno about the older jeeps, as you know, 2007 was a whole new design year....lots of computerized crap in it now.

I have a 3.8 L Jeep wrangler I purchased the 3872 here is my experience. When I received it I did the download on my laptop which said completed successfully. Plugged in to tune would not work, called tech support and they said I had to download on a hard line computer. Did that on another computer same thing happened, Then they tell me to go to the superchip dealer by me and they could fix it. After paying them they finally got it to download and made the updates on my jeep. It would have been easier and cheaper to buy it from the superchip dealer instead if I had known.

I just installed mine on a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited with no problem!

Hi, this is an add-on system, meaning it will use your factory remote. Pressing lock 3 times will activate this remote starter. You will have the same range you currently have with your factory remote.

It doesn't support your 6 disk in-dash changer and infrared head phones. For your rear dvd, there is no problem, just when you play DVD, it can show the screen of your new radio.

That is the same head unit I have and this works perfectly for it. I installed it about a month ago and there had been no issues. I can watch videos anytime I want.

My Sahara is a 2013. I would call the service department at a Jeep dealership to see if they made any changes.

This unit does have the DVD player and the screen. You don't have to have a DVD player there previously. I tried to hook it into the 12V power for my dome light and it wouldn't work right so I just ended up running a 12V wire straight from the fuse box. I also had to add a FM transmitter because it wouldn't pick up the FM transmitter built into the player on my 2003 suburban. I have the same unit on my 2012 honda oddesy and I don't need a seperate transmitter the one built in works great in my honda.
