| 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 ? | |

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! |

Did you add the dealer installed Sat radio unit? The Chrysler Accessories page list the radio at $175 plus a $125 template kit. |

| 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. | |

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?

| I mentioned by temperature control display fading out a couple of months ago but no one said they had a simular problem so I thought mine was unique. The ATC display just goes blank for no apparent reason. By pushing either the Auto Hi, the Auto Low and/or the On/Off buttons, sometimes only once or twice but many times six times or more, the display returns. It has been a mild irritation, but is the only real complaint I have had with my Pacifica, which must think I'm about to bring it in to my dealer to check out the ATC display since for the past five days it hasn't fadded out once. | |

| I was bothered by a persistent rattle in my wife's Pacifica while on a long trip recently. While driving, I could swear that I heard it come from the glove compartment area. When I was a passenger, I could swear it was coming from the driver's door area. Turns out it was from a pair of sunglasses in the overhead sunglass storage area. Just the glasses rattling around - easily fixed. Hope this helps those of you that have had this pesky rattling noise. | |
| I have experienced the same rattle in the dashboard. The rattle was more in the steering wheel though. Every time I would stop, move forward, turn left or right I would hear it. I took it in when I did the 3,000 mile service not to the same location that I bought it from because this dealer was closer. They took off the steering wheel then some and stated that the entire dash needs to be taken apart because the piece that is making the rattling sound is near the fire wall. They said this would take a week to do!!! But they could not do it because they were too busy and to bring it back to the dealer I purchased the car from so they could deal with it!!! What horrible service. Has anyone else located the problem with the rattling?? Other than the noise and service problems I really like the car. I will let you know what turns up to be the noise--the car is going to the dealer I purchased it from tomorrow. | |
| Thanks for everyone's response since I asked about the rattle noise in our Pacifica's dash. We have looked into each potential cause that everyone suggested, and have had no luck. We've ruled out the keys, the sunglasses holder, the map pockets, or anything in the glove box. It sounds like there are other cases out there similar to ours. We haven't had time to stop by the dealer to have them look at it, and were hoping that someone had discovered the cause before we take it in. Has anyone had any luck? Thanks again. | |
