That is quite a list, Kirk! There are some excellent recommendations on there, especially the Weathertech floor liners and the invisible mask. The floor liners are fantastic and well worth the money.
 
Regarding the blind spot detectors, I recommend 2" convex mirrors, which stick on the surface of the side view mirrors (I mount mine at the outer, lower corner on each side), to eliminate blind spots. These cost about $4 total and completely eliminate bind spots along both sides. Of course, they do require the driver to actually check them.... Just when someone makes something that is foolproof, along comes a new model of fool.

Is is possible to have a portable Garmin GPS (nuvi) work with (show up) on the MyGig screen?

If you have a Garmin with audio output, then you could connect it to the microjack of the aux input on the mygig (RER version). If you have the VES, you could connect the Garmin audio output the VES RCA input. Very few GPS systems include video out. If yours does and, again, you have the VES option in your Chrysler, then you can connect the video out into the VES RCA video input. All this only turns the garmin into a source that can be played on the MyGig. It does not integrate the nav functionality of the garmin into the Mygig. That is to say, there is no way to use the Nav functions of the mygig by serving this function over to a Garmin but keeping control of the nav through the MyGig.
 
Hope this helps.

Here is the down and dirty of the TSB for that rather spooky winshield howl/whistle/honk.
 
If your dealer can't find it.... Show 'em this. It's TSB: 23-023-08
 
SUBJECT:
Whistle, Honk Or Howl Sound Coming From "A" Pillar Or Windshield Area
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves applying clear flowable silicone sealer to the backside of the
windshield molding lip seal to adhere the lip seal to the A-Pillar.
MODELS:
2008 (RT) Town & Country/Grand Caravan
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may experience a whistle, honk or howl sound from the A-Pillar area or
windshield area of A-Pillar on either side of the vehicle. A combination of high ambient
temperatures above 32° C (90° F), high driving speeds 112 Kph (70 Mph) or higher and
cross winds are required to make this sound occur. The condition may be intermittent or
can be continuous when the conditions are met.
An outer lip seal on the windshield moulding that contacts the A-Pillar may vibrate and
cause this sound.
DIAGNOSIS:
If the vehicle exhibits the condition described in the Symptom/Condition, perform the
Repair Procedure.
PARTS REQUIRED:
Qty. Part No. Description
1 04467708 Clear Flowable Silicone Windshield & Glass
Sealer - (1.5 oz. Tube) 1 Tube may service 2
vehicles
NUMBER: 23-023-08
GROUP: Body
DATE: August 1, 2008
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Start at the top or bottom of the A-Pillar and insert a thin fiber stick between the
A-Pillar and the windshield molding lip seal so the lip seal is lifted up and away from
the A-Pillar. (Fig. 1).
NOTE: A thin card (plastic) can be used as a tool to lift the lip seal from the A-Pillar if
a thin fiber stick is not available.
Fig. 1 A-PILLAR WINDOW MOULDING

2 - Windshield Moulding Lip Seal
3 - Windshield Moulding
4 - Windshield
5 - Silicone Sealant Applied to Back Side of Lip
6 - Windshield Moulding Lip Seal Lifted from A-Pillar
NOTE: The area where the sealer is applied is narrow. Carefully cut the silicone
nozzle tip at the narrowest point at an angle to be able to apply the silicone
into the area described.
2. Insert the nozzle of the silicone sealant in between the A-Pillar and windshield molding
lip just behind the fiber stick.
3. Move the fiber stick slowly along the A-Pillar while allowing the silicone to flow onto the
back side of the molding lip and A-Pillar.
4. Proceed as far along the A-Pillar as possible. Do not overfill cavity. There must be an
adequate volume of silicone to adhere the tip of the lip seal to the A-Pillar.
5. Wipe the A-Pillar surface clean of any excess (exposed) silicone sealant.
6. Allow sufficient time for the newly applied sealer to air dry.
POLICY:
Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.
