Cold weather groupJust curious peoples thoughts and well, maybe it just makes for some good discussion too! I have pretty much decided on the build I would like for my Wrangler Unlimited, and I wanted to add one option but can't decide between the three. Bear in mind I live in Michigan when factoring this in. Overall its a pretty simple order
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport S
-Selec-trac
-Auto
-4 Cylinder
So of these three extra options what would you choose?
-Alpine Stereo
-Led Headlights
-Cold Weather Package
1. While I am not an extreme audiophile, I love music, and having a nice system would be great because I am always listening to music especially in my vehicle. So right now I am leading towards this option. Not sure I have really ever ordered the "upgraded stereo system" in a vehicle before.
2. I love LED headlights in my current car and it also has the adaptive headlights, which are nice. Reading about the LED headlights here, I hear they are a complete pain in the winter time and don't melt snow/ice? If that's the case, I'd probably stick with halogen even though I know they are much worse at night.
3. A nice feature I have now, but I run kinda hot anyway, and I hear the Jeep heats up so quickly its not really needed whatsoever.
So what say you, best bang for your buck option? Also, the 8.4 inch radio premium package doesn't include the Alpine stereo right? That is separate?
Thanks everyone!
I've got that option and in all honesty, the remote start/heated comfort works about half the time. The sensors are shit and give false readings until you start driving down the road. Mine has read 70 degrees in a 31 degree garage (heat didn't start). It's sat outside in 23 degree and cloudy weather for 9 hours at work. Remote start, no heat. Sensor said 57 degrees.I’d get the Cold Weather Group. LEDs and better speakers can be added later relatively easily. A heated steering wheel and seats that come on automatically when the temperature drops below 40 degrees...not so much.
Good luck.

I haven’t had any issues with the steering and seat heaters coming on on my Jeep.I've got that option and in all honesty, the remote start/heated comfort works about half the time. The sensors are shit and give false readings until you start driving down the road. Mine has read 70 degrees in a 31 degree garage (heat didn't start).

EDIT
The heated seat is nice, the steering wheel is even better. But don't expect them to work with the remote start. But if I had to choose, I'd take the headlights. They REALLY make driving at night a lot easier. Safety over comfort for me. And my previous vehcle was a Ram 1500 with halogen headlights that were about as bright as a couple flashlights with dying batteries. I LOVE the LEDs.
