Are you looking for something that connects an ipod/iphone or some other device with an RCA out connector?

I don't have the RB1 but I bought an adapter that is compatible with my radio that will connect ipod/iphone or aux device and it connects to the cd changer port and is steering wheel control compatible. I like that it keeps my ipod charged as well. I carry an iphone now but I just keep my old ipod plugged into this device stowed away in my glove compartment. On mine, you setup playlists on the ipod and the radio cd changer controls think that each playlist is a cd.

Something like this?

For $30ish more you can get a decent aftermarket head unit with a usb port. Load a stubby flash drive with music, or plug your phone/device right into it. Hell some of them you can even stream to it via bluetooth.

Thanks Greg.
D2F, I'm not looking to replace my RB1, I actually like the factory unit

Greg, ebay one says it has to have a "mode" button. Unfortunately mine doesn't.

There is a Mopar unit that will work with the RB1. I have one coming in the mail. Should arrive tomorrow.

BTW, any idea where to get the latest DVD for the NAV other than ebay for $179?

Where did you score it from? Dealer? Can you get me a part #?
I got a nav disc from a guy on ebay for 30 bucks, it's a bootleg type. But it does have in motion hack on it though. He sends me an email every yr for the latest edition but I havn't gotten one since 2010. Do you need one? I have the 09 disc I'll mail ya if I can find it. I'll look to see if I saved his email addy.

I got it as part of a package deal when I bought the HU. I will get you a part number when it arrives today.
The DVD I will be getting is the AI version. AJ is the newest.

I did some looking and asking and the CD/AUX button is the "MODE" button, at least for the MOPAR kit.

Mine did not show up today. Mail carrier decided it needed a signature even thought it was not supposed to so she just left me a note to pick up at post office Monday.

Oh, I also found a craig's list posting for the hacked AK version... http://orlando.craigslist.org/pts/3062681627.html

oh, cool I'll look into that button. Guess I should look in the glove box and look at the manual huh?
Yeah I would jump on that craigslist ad if I were you. They don't build that many roads every year and I'm pretty familiar with where I travel for the most part, so I figure maybe every 5 yrs or so I'll pick up a new one.
