Congrats on the Pac..... it is alot of fun to upgrade and pimp out.....The one thing I do know about your question is if you have a factory amp (most of them did back then) it is located in the trunk, under the carpet, as far to the back as you can go and to the right. Near the tail lights bolted on the ground. you will have to open the little door and take out the storage compartment. Good luck and post pics on your profile so we can all enjoy your ride as it goes along!

Thank you very much. I checked and it seems that I do not have an amp but it is prewired for one. I have the wires capped on both ends so just in case they are there. I opened the interior up this afternoon so I could run my own aftermarket wires. It went pretty well but my only two setbacks are that I don't have the harness to hook up the audio from the aftermarket dvd player to the radio and i'm not too sure how to mount the system without tearing something up!! Any suggestions???
 
And I sure will take pics to share.

thats the biggest problem there is, once you go after market on these, you have to stay aftermarket, I tried every different wire to go to the aftermarket radio to the oem screen in the back and everyone told me it was impossible. the radio was the first to go on mine. But since doing that, I cant use the oem 6 disk changer, steering wheel controls, or the screen in the back. Unless someone else on here has any hacks, from my understanding you cant mix oem with the aftermarket.....I really hope im wrong, but not to my knowledge.
What are you trying to mount? the amps? subs? or the dvd player?
Are you installing the dvd type that goes on the ceiling? or what? describe the setup you have.....

The problem by papajoededr2

Well I have been doing some research and I have found out that you can add an aftermarket dvd player/monitor combo (like i've purchased) and add it to your original factory radio. You would have to buy a device called (PIE CHRY02-AUX Aux Input Converter 2002-2006 Chrysler). I purchased one from ebay. This device plugs directly into the back of your chrysler radio. It either takes or replaces the port that the factory dvd player goes into and turns that into RCA input jacks. This allows me to install and use my Aftermarket Unit with either my IR wireless headphones or through the vehicles factory sound system. But if I wanted to change my head unit it can also be done. I would have to buy an install kit for the new radio, wire harness and a steering wheel radio control interface if I wanted to continue the usage of my steering wheel controls. But I decided not to go that route unless I had to. The amp and sub installations are no contest, my problem is my flipdown dvd/monitor. But in your case you probably should have kept the factory radio to avoid your headaches. Unfortunately I don't know of any wiring harness or way that you cn connect your aftermarket head unit to your factory monitor, dvd player/cd changer or your sattelite hook up. Sorry!! I guess it was better that my Pac didn't come with the factory entertainment system.

Re: Add 2007 backup camera to 2004 navigation screen? [ronvf] by myf16

RonVF, I found a company that could make a modulator box for the camera that MIGHT allow the Nav display to switch between backup camera and nav. It's about $300 if I recall correctly, and with no guarantee it would work since nobody has reported doing this modification. The installation job is probably several hours as well. I decided not to pursue it for now.

Well I got the system installed on my ceiling and what do you know, the installer tears right through the wires with a screw. After I get it home and test it, nothing works. So I had to take it all apart to find the source of the problem. You know the old saying it's always in the last place you look. Were it was right at the unit. After I repair the screw-up I then realized that my unit it's self was bad. So I now have to take it down and ship it back to the company. Just my luck.

Yeah, your right papajoe......guess everythings possible. If i keep going the way ive been going my whole ride is going to be custom and have to rig everything. The only problem I see with customs is that everything you do, knocks down the practicalness of the car..... i'll never learn..... i think next, i am going to weld the doors on a swinger and rotate them to open......It is like a drug to me......

Beware Chrysler front end covers.... they send old defective design. by sarg52
May 08, 2008 (4:40 am)

Just purchased a front end cover from Wyckoff's website. The site pictures the new design but they ship the "older" design with the bump-ups on the hood and more important .... the inner liner that causes fogging of the paint if left on after it gets wet. They even provide the TSB from Mopar regarding the "fogging or hazing" of the paint if the cover is not removed to dry out.
   
Can you imagine? You must take the cover off if you get caught in the rain or if you wish to wash the vehicle.
   
I've requested a RMA number from Wyckoff to try and get a refund ............. and have already ordered a LeBra replacement.
   
I might add at half the price ( $130 versus $66. )

Scuff pad for rear bumper on 07 Pac by sarg52
May 12, 2008 (2:51 pm)
Reply
Could anyone advise if the scuff pad (part #82207836) that fits the 04 to 06 also fits on the 07 ?
 
I have one site that says it will and another that says they are definitely not the same.

Can you send me the wiring diagram as well?
My 2007 pac does not have the harness for the overhead consols and I want to add some of the extra features (Homelink) I bought the console off ebay and I expect the wiring to be similar.
