I currently have a RES radio in my 09 1500 QC. I would like to replace it with something with DVD and a few more features. I'm trying to keep this around $350.

Here is what I would consider required:
DVD
Camera Input
CD/MP3
USB Input
iPod direct control
Bluetooth for phone

Optional
XM/Sirrus (I don't use it now)
HD
Bluetooth for music streaming

I see plenty of units on eBay that would work, but most of them are not brand names. I would like to get something that I don't have to buy a bunch of accessories for to get the iPod and Bluetooth integration.

Any suggestions? Am I asking for too much for the price?

Here are some options. It's what I did, I upgraded from the Media Center 130 to the 430 RBZ and I love it! It was plug and play, no hassle of wiring harnesses, dash kits, , etc. Stock, looks good, and no need for any PAC audio interfaces to make my steering wheel controls work! Those things can get pricey! Anyway, just my .02 worth.

This is the unit i have been eyeballing Pioneer AVH-P3200BT $319 on Amazon. Also P3200DVD. Same stereo minus the Bluetooth.

 

My gig does not stream BT audio and you need uconnect for the phone. Go aftermarket.

 

BT Streaming doesn't really matter to me, but BT for the phone and iPod integration are a must. Do the Mygig units still require separate uconnect modules for BT and iPod?

im looking to upgrade my RES as well. The problem with going aftermarket is it gives chrysler an excuse to void the warranty on anything electrical in the car, even a headlight issue...and trust me they will.

 

Honestly, Pioneer is the only head unit I would tell you to look at. Everything else is just shoddy compared to what Pioneer is churning out right now.

The nice thing wit these rams is that there is little modification needed to run a true Double Din deck. The space in the dash is appropriate, but the space behind isn't and all you need to do is trim away the metal back stop that the factory deck rests on.

 

I've been looking at the Pioneer AVH-P3200BT as mentioned by elguapo503. Any suggestions on a wiring harness to connect into the factory wiring? Most of what I have found are the PAC units which are pretty expensive.

The Pioneer AVICs are IMO the best out on the market. Ive got a Pioneer AVIC Z1 I refuse to upgrade because of all of its features.

 

I agree with Pioneer being at the top right now. Go on their website and pick one that you want. Shop around for a cheaper price.... Also if you are looking at upgrading the rest of your system later you may want to verify that it has 3 sets of rcas and that the voltage is to your liking
