Default 430 or 430n

Hello

Just wondering if it is worth it to upgrade to the 430N radio or is the 430 just as good?

I was going with the sport premium group and wondering if the 430n radio was worth the xtra 450 dollars.

Thanks
Sudsy

Do you know where you are going or do you get lost easily?

according to my dealer they have stopped putting in the 430n radio into new builds as of Feb 20th.

Anyone know why they stopped was there a problem with them?

Well that is a good thing that the new Harmon Becker RHR will be out soon, maybe they will get a free upgrade.

I've read on a couple of other forums that the 730N wasn't available. I factory ordered my 2011 Sport with the 730N back on January 27th and the order went through fine. I wonder if it's actually the 730N I'm getting or something new? I also read that the RHR was supposed to be available in January?

you can still get the 730n radio in a factory order, but at $950 that is too much for me.

After looking at some of the aftermarket multimedia options I'm almost regretting getting the 730N. Then again I don't have the truck yet so I can't comment on how I like it and if it meets my needs.
