#2 of 31 Using an mp3 player in the Magnum by bbfd86 Apr 24, 2006 (4:20 am)
I want to use my mp3 player in my new 2005 Magnum RT. I tried using my son's iRock! FM transmitter, but there is way too much static. I suspect its because the antenna is built into the rear window and the unit is too weak to transmit that far. I also tried purchasing two different connecting cassettes, but the sound quality was poor. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Replying to: bbfd86 (Apr 24, 2006 4:20 am) Does the '05 have the mp3 reader cd player? My '06 does, so you just make a cd of mp3's and it reads and plays it. Not sure if yours is the same.

Replying to: bbfd86 (Apr 25, 2006 10:42 am) Some of the players also support WMA files (says it on the radio). From what I understand, WMA offers better sound quality/file size ratio meaning you can fit more on a disk and it will sound the same as your curent mp3 bitrates. Might get you closer to getting your 800 on 6 discs.
#6 of 31 Nav system by new2magnum Jul 15, 2006 (7:30 am)

#7 of 31 Sirius Satellite Radio by slam2 Sep 16, 2004 (5:45 am)
My thought is that for an add on navigation system, the components are already in the car factory installed. The ability to use satellite technology is the next big deal. A sterio is great but the added value isn't much. The satellite setup opens the door for what is to come and that will insure that your car is ready. That is my theory and it is just that. You folks need to make those judgements based on what you feel is right for you.   Good discussion, Slam2 Replies to this message: enygma6 (Sep 16, 2004 9:22 am) foureyes3 (Sep 16, 2004 4:55 pm)

Replying to: slam2 (Sep 16, 2004 5:45 am) I have both the Sirius radio and the Nav system in my RT, and I love the integration. Especially with the steering-wheel mounted controls (electronics convenience group -- very aptly named) So long as you're driving in the continental US or southern edge of Canada (wherever Sirius signal is actually broadcast) I think it would be a worthwhile option. Having it factory installed makes it easier to use than a separate unit (I had a portable in my old car), plus it comes with a 1-year free subscription. If after that time you decide it's not worth a monthly subscription, then don't use it and you don't have to pay.   As for the Nav system, the nag screen only comes on if Navigation is turned on. If the radio is left on one of the other modes (AM/FM or CD/Sirius) when the car is started, you will not see a nag screen. Only when you push the "NAV" button to enable it will you get the screen. If you leave Nav enabled when turning off the car, the next time it is started it will start with the screen, but that's it. Personally I love the full integration of the unit, not having to mess with extra cables/mounting kits/etc. The only thing I don't like is the lack of a removable face or cover for the stereo/nav system so less-than-honest people can't see what you have installed when they look at your car when you aren't around, whether it'd be worth their time to help themselves to it.

Replying to: enygma6 (Sep 16, 2004 9:22 am) Well, I understand what you about people helping themselves. The car supposed to have good tint to make it harder for people to look inside the vehicle. It sounds like you are having a lot of fun with your system. That's the advantage of movable gps systems. They can be put out of sight of prying eyes. I am happy for you and nicely equipped magnum.
#10 of 31 Need help with the REC radio by dpr Feb 13, 2005 (5:48 am)
I just purchased a Magnum with the GPS/Sirius radio/6 disk changer. There is no reference to this unit in the manual. For the life of me I can't set the clock. All the other radios have a "clock" button. You also use the clock button to pull up the ECN needed to register for Sirius reception. The DVD required for the GPS was missing and I drove off the lot with a defective module that controlled all the features on the steering wheel/column. In my forty + years of buying vehicles this is my first Chrysler product and I'm sorely disappointed! Thanks is advance for any help!
