Default 2011 Navigation Options

Just bought a 2011 Crew Cab Laramie and I want a NAV radio - very irritated that this is the year dodge decided not to offer it. Anyway - looks like a 2DIN system in the new truck. Has anyone swapped in an 430 or 730?

Dealer parts dept says it won't work. If thats true, what 3rd party options have you all installed that include radio/nav/satellite/bluetooth/ipod?

Thanks,
John

You could try looking on ebay for a MyGig.

I looked at several units from Pioneer, Kenwood and Alpine and found the right price and feature combination with Jensen.

I installed a Jensen VM9424 with a PAC C2R-CHY4 Can Bus adapter, Bluetooth and XM Radio kits for it was well and it works great.

Are you looking at DIY? or having a Shop do the install? If DIY, Crutchfield a good place to start.

Good Luck

Im pretty sure you can swap it out with the Mygig like keithhud said. Just have to find the whole nav system and screen somewhere online.

Thats for the posts. I've got an e-mail out to these guys http://www.oemautopartsco.com/- seem to know Mopar and these radios. ideally I drop the RER in with a couple of adapters and I'm good to go.

Anybody use them?
