You can loook on Ebay for a Navi bezel or just buy one at the dealer. They run $140 at dealer or about $120 shipped on ebay.
If you have the Infinity 7speaker sound, you'll need a canbus wiring adapter. If you have the basic 4 speaker stereo, then you can get away without the canbus adapter ($70) but you will need to do some cutting/splicing and find alternaqte power/ground wires. I used the left lighter socket wire (pink w/yellow stripe) for my ign switched power wire.
The canbus adapter makes life much easier, BUT it runs $70.

I have had great luck getting wiring adapters from Crutchfield.com or any place online that carries Schosh products. They make just about every adapter you can imagine.

For wiring connectors? Again, if you have the basic 4 speaker stereo you can buy the normal Chrysler radio connectors at even Walmart for $10. You will only use one of them(if package is labeled prior to 2001) and for the other radio connector you will have to cut/splice for the rest. The 02-08 labeled connectors will only have 1, so you can get either one. If you have done a few installs before then i don't think you will have a problem with that.

if you need a canbus connector, retail outlets charge big bucks.
Look HERE
Your dealer may even need to order a bezel so waiting may be your only option???
Here's a bezel just make sure you get the right color. There are plenty more on ebay that come straight from dealers who list on the site.
