Well, that depends. If your car didnt come with factoryNAV, it isnt gonna fit. If it did, then no. No problems. You might have to run the acc to an alternate ignition source if you have the CAN-BUS system though.

your factory head unit is actualy din + 3/4
so an aftermarket dbl din unit wont fit right in
you would have do some customizing

the right thing to do is order a new dash bezel from dodge
made for a navi radio
https://www.dodgeparts.com/product_i...dfd391e8d1bb3a
then get a dbl din dash install kit from metra or scoshce
and it will fit with a factory look

also you need can-bus adapter
PAC C2R-CHY

feel free to email me for more info or if you need something

What he said. That's why it wont fit unless you had the factory NAV. You don't NEED the Can-Bus adapter. But it's a good idea.

can bus adapter is really a must for installing aftermarket nav in these vehicles
just plugs into factory wiring and provides you with Acc wire, reverse signal,
illum. signal, VSS wire, parking brake,

these are all things that youwill need to be connected to your in dash nav unit

K enough about the box!! lol And y does the price keep going up?

I know the CAN-BUS is a good idea, but you don't "Need" it. They can be found other places. If it's a must. But yeah, if you can get your hands on the adapter, grab it! And are you sure about the VSS wire? I was pretty sure you couldnt grab the VSS behind the radio on the new Chryslers. Maybe it was GM? I can't remember! lol

of time--yes the vss is there-- but you may be right-- it might not have
been avail. on PAC 's first version of the adapter.
