| 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? | |

Hey does any 1 have a website they can reccomend to purchase a navigation system for the SXT AWD ?

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

Replying to: slam2 (Sep 16, 2004 5:45 am) 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.

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! Best regards, Dennis
