I just installed an RB1 and an Ipod2Car interface in my 2003 Ram. It was pretty straightforward. Remove the 1 screw and then pull out the dash bezel.

Unscrew the old radio, remove the antenna and harness. Then I connected the regular antenna, nav antenna, wiring harness and the Ipod harness.

I stuffed the nav antenna up and to the right behind the radio. it's magnetic and stuck to something metal.

I used ever guy's favorite, duct tape, for the Ipod2Car interface unit and ran the wire out the trash bag holder area. Then I mounted the Ipod holder to the dash vent. See the pics below.

 

looking nice man

 

does the head unit control the ipod?

 

Yes, it will change tracks and I believe it can switch between playlists. I haven't tried that yet. The steering wheel controls also work the Ipod.

 

Sweet dual zone heating, I need that for my girlfriend.

 

VERY cool man. Exactly what I want to do in my Daytona, right down to the ipod, but I have just two questions...

1) Where is "the one screw" to remove the dash panel

2) What did you do with the antenna? Please post a picture if possible?

The only screw is right where there trash bag holder is right where you see his ipod wire coming out

 

Thanks very much for everyone's help, especially the original poster!

My RB1 Nav system is installed and it is FABULOUS... A worthy upgrade!

You can see pictures of both it, and my dad's matching Daytona at http://www.flickr.com/photos/segwayne

Well, my Ipod2Car interface caused my check engine light to blink, so I dumped it. I replaced it with the new Mopar cable which is both cheaper and works better since it displays the song/artist info.

Then I sold the truck about 2 weeks ago to get an 06 Mega 2500 diesel. I'll be selling the RB1 soon.

 

Strangely, very strangely, about the time I put in the Ipod2car interface, my air bag warning and check engine warning started to randomly (VERY seldom, but still) dinging... I cannot say for certain whether it did, or did not happen before I installed it. It could have been but I just didn't notice it.

1) Is *that* what's causing it?
2) Do you have a part number/price/etcetera for the Mopar cable?
