Replying to: romannumal (May 17, 2005 6:18 pm) I tended to break mine in a bit hard I think ..IMO. Remember brother its a dodge an Id be easy on her till I hit 1k .. I keep thinking its a 4 cylinder and an 8 cylinder that may need to be treated a bit kind during breakin.I drive it more like a 4 cylinder ....which keeps the road rage at a minimum. Keep in mind its all new so we are the test monkeys....   Highway driving at speed get on it now and then ,use mobile one oil! Youll have the car for years ........

Replying to: romannumal (May 17, 2005 6:18 pm) From what I recall, the break-in instructions in the owner's manual recommend for the first 500 miles, to occasionally rev the engine through the entire RPM range in lower gears, "without exceeding the speed limit" (their way of limiting their liability so you can't tell the cop who pulled you over for going 140 that the instructions say to do so) There isn't much of a required "break-in" period on these cars, IMO it's just a quick shake-down to make sure that nothing's loose. And believe me, that first 500 miles goes by quick, even if you keep her under 75mph. (take the time to familiarize yourself with the autostick, drop it into 2nd occasionally while cruising on the highway )   I've had my RT since mid-July last year, and have nearly 13,500 miles on it so far, most of which were very enjoyable.

Can I add a Mopar multi disc CD player to the single disk player that came with my Magnum? Thanks for the help.
#28 of 31 Dodge Magnum Radio - uconnect issues by dxmishlover Aug 11, 2005 (2:17 pm)
Hello, I just purchased a 2005 Magnum. On the drive home from the dealer on the 1st day noticed the radio was not sounding clear & fading in & out, thought maybe the channel was faint that day, so I hit scan...all I got was that single station & that was not clear...I tried manually tuning to channels I have listened to for yrs, nothing came in...I called the salesman, he asked I drive it back, when I got there the service advisor I always deal with came out to look at the radio...he started the car ,channels came in fine...He said it must have been something I did wrong as it was 100%...I got in & it seemed to have fixed itself. Later that evening I went out to show my Mom my car & would'nt ya know it the radio was out again. I also wanted to explaing the u-connect feature , but it wasnt working either... I went to the dealer the next morning, showed the service advisor what it was doing, he agreed something was wrong as it would just keep scanning & scanning & manually tuning was no good either...so I sat there from 7:45( when the Mechanics are just showing up to start their shifts at 8AM) ....to 11:15 Service advisor told me the car was not finished & he would need to get me into a rental. The next morning( today) service advisor called me, advised the car was done & to come on down to pick it up...when I got there he asked I go see the cashier to pick up the keys & to sign out...When I got into the car radio worked fine, Satellite worked fine, cd's played fine...I'm thinking to myself all right, wow I'm ok now.... got home, got ready for work & then off I headed....guess what, radio wouldnt pull in but 3 channels & they were full of static...I called the dealer, got ahold of my service guy, explained it to him...he said they replaced the module for the u-connect, then looked at the radio & there was no problem with it tuning in dozens of channels...so it dint get replaced. He asked I bring it in again on Saterday...will post the finding on Saterday

Replying to: bbfd86 (Apr 25, 2006 10:42 am) I put a Sony deck capable of mp3 in my truck 4 years ago and I can easily put 200-225 songs per CD. All of my mp3's are ripped at 196 so they aren't terribly small.   You should be more than able to fit 1100-1200 mp3's in your changer.
#30 of 31 Just got 2006 Magnum by pir8matt Oct 04, 2006 (7:41 am)
Hi everyone, I just purchased a 2006 Magnum R/T used with 3000 miles on it. I've really been enjoying the car a lot , but I'm a little sad that it doesn't have the trip-meter/gas mileage computing thing that comes with one of the convenience packages (anyone know which one that was?). I also was interested to read about the bluetooth communication option. I've used this in a couple of other cars and found it to be really cool.   I guess I'm wondering, if anyone knows, can either of these options be added after the fact, or are you pretty much stuck with whatever you got? I have the single-CD player with the AUX plug-in jack. My dash has the single trip-meter/odometer combo, but nothing else.   Thanks!
