“The all-new 2008 Jeep Liberty is packed with convenience and technology features customers will appreciate,” said John Plecha, Director – Jeep Brand Marketing and Global Communications, Chrysler Group. “Liberty is designed to meet the needs and requirements of a tech-savvy generation by offering the new MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System, which features hard drive music storage, a personalized screen saver, real-time traffic updates and both voice control and touch screen for all infotainment systems.”
Audio and Navigation Systems
The Jeep Liberty is available with a variety of audio systems, and will
offer the innovative MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System that features
a built-in navigation, audio, entertainment and communication system.
MyGIG allows customers to use touch screen or voice commands to control
features, and includes a 20-gigabyte hard drive where music and photos
can be stored. An integrated music jukebox supports Gracenote music-file
management to add song, artist and album information to the music files
automatically. Space is reserved on the hard drive for approximately 1,600
songs – more than 100 hours of music. The system also includes a
voice-memo recorder feature. MyGIG supports real-time traffic information,
available through SIRIUS Satellite Radio, and can provide an alternate
drive route based on traffic conditions.
The voice dialogue system recognizes more than 100,000 words. The navigation system features both 2-D and 3-D bird’s-eye views of roads and multiple route calculation alternatives. Maps and guidance are displayed on a motorized, flip-down 6.5-inch thin-film-transistor (TFT) color display. The TFT screen uses active matrix for viewing from angles up to 180 degrees — perfect for the center of an instrument panel.
Chrysler Group is the only company in the U.S. market offering completely integrated audio, navigation, entertainment and hands-free communication in one system, controlled through voice commands and utilizing touch screen, with the capability of downloading photos and music to a hard drive from a CD or USB memory device.
All radio head units available in the Liberty feature a 3.5mm audio input jack for easy connection to an MP3 player. The Infinity® Premium Sound system offers a total of nine speakers, which includes one 6.5-inch subwoofer in the rear doors. It also includes an eight-channel amplifier producing 368 watts of power.

Electronic Vehicle Information Control
An interactive digital display located in the instrument panel conveniently
displays information and can be controlled by switches mounted on the
steering column. The system allows the driver to select from a menu of
useful information. Settings can be personalized for various functions,
such as having the lights flash and horn honk when locking and unlocking
the vehicle using Remote Keyless Entry. There also is the ability to scroll
through the compass/outside temperature, average fuel economy, distance
to empty, trip elapsed time and tire-pressure displays.
