I have had my Pacifica in to the dealer twice for this mysterious rattle and they can not duplicate it when I bring it in for service. Has anyone found any answers? It is driving me crazy.

All my mysterious noises have been traced back to my keychain, like cluelesspa said, or something my wife has put in her door pocket on the passenger side, like her glasses.
#69 of 2119 Pacifica FM Reception - Poor, Poor, Poor by azpacifica Aug 06, 2003 (2:44 pm)
A couple months ago patty64 on this discussion board said radio reception on the a new Pacifica was bad. Has Chrysler resolved the issue? My Pacifica is a few weeks old and the FM radio is pathetic. I live in a rural area of northern Arizona with small to moderate mountains. Older cars (95 Eagle TSI, 99 300M and even an 89 Mustang Conv.) are/were capable of running the roads between here and Phoenix without constant station changes. Anyone find a fix yet?

Prior to my getting my Pacifica, I read the notes regarding the poor radio reception. I was quite concerned that here I would have this really expensive vehicle and the weakest part would be the simplest... the audio reception.   Turns out I was pretty surprised. I can easily pull in Philadelphia radio stations 50+ miles away in Atlantic City, NJ, over 50 miles away. The reception appears to be no different than my previous vehicle, a 1993 Eagle Vision TSi.   Looks like my fears were for nothing. I really don't have a rational answer for why some people have have poor signal reception. It might be a grounding problem... who knows. Make sure you bring it up to your dealer. Let them collect the statistics. Maybe something will come of it.

ditto on no problems here and with the hills in pittsburgh its still avg reception. BTW I have the optional stereo with the subwoofer... maybe its the standard stereo is different ?
#72 of 2119 Serious about Sirius? by tmacklin Aug 06, 2003 (8:41 pm)
My Pacifica came with the "Satellite" prep pkg and I added the Inifinity "Intermezzo" sound system. Problem is when I call Sirius to activate, they need some unique ID of the unit. They tell me if I press the "CD Eject" button and the "Time" button simultaneously and hold them for three seconds, this unique ID will pop up on the screen.   Well, it hasn't popped up, and the dealership looks at me cross-eyed when I ask them how to get this unique ID out of the unit. Anyone out there with any experience with activating Sirius?   Thanks in advance!
#73 of 2119 Sirius Radio by sgtjim Aug 07, 2003 (6:16 am)
Did you add the dealer installed Sat radio unit? The Chrysler Accessories page list the radio at $175 plus a $125 template kit.
#74 of 2119 FM reception by patty64 Aug 07, 2003 (6:21 am)
I have not brought the car in for service yet. I'm waiting a while so that I can accumulate a few things I notice require attention. I hope this can easily be fixed since it is a real annoyance. One thing I find interesting when discussing audio (and video for that matter) is that many people can't tell the difference between clean reception and poor reception. No offense to the people on this post - I'm speaking in general terms. This area seems to be very subjective. People perceive sound differently. On a similar topic, I have the deluxe 6 channel surround system. I'm not sure what type of surround sound decoding scheme is used because there is no information anywhere on this topic, but certain cd's I play sound distorted in the center channel. The information is out-of-phase. I have a feeling this is going to be hard to resolve. I'm interested if anyone else has experienced this and if they've found a solution.
#75 of 2119 temperature control LEDs by kalathiparambi Aug 07, 2003 (11:51 am)
went on a long trip recently.. http://www.ontarioparks.com/english/sand.html   during the drive, with the air conditioning cranked and playing a dvd movie, i noticed that the temperature control LEDs above the audio system faded out. gave it a tap and it came back! this doesn't sound normal.   anyone else experience this or similar?
