Default RB1 Nav. install in 07 Grand Caravan...HELP!

Anyone know where I can find install instructions for an RB1 Navigation unit in a 2007 Grand Caravan?Are the instructions on-line somewhere?

I think it is going to be pretty easy and intuitive, but my big question is how do I remove the radio andclimate control trim bezel without damaging it?

Also, where does Dodge suggest the antenna be installed. Any help will be MOST appreciated.

THANKS!

You will need to obtain the Nav DVD from Alpine or the dealership as well as the Nav antenna and radio coax adapter if required. Remove the A/C head by taking off the little trim piece above the ashtray. There are 2 philips screws behind it that hold the A/C head in place. Gently but firmly pull on the bottom of the A/C head until it pops off. You can either remove the wires going to the heat controls andrear wiper or have someone hold it on an angle to the side. Remove the 4 screws holding the radio in place and pull it forward. Disconnect the radioharness and antenna wire and remove the radio. The Nav antenna should be installed under the dash pad as close to the windshield as you have clearance for. Feed the Nav wire through one of the openings for the dash pad clips and drop it into the radio bay.Verify that your radio power plug has a white wire with a purple tracer. This wire goes to the speed sensor and is required to pinpoint your position properly on the Nav display screen. Your 2007 should already have this wire there for you. Plug in all the wires from the radio and the new Nav antenna wire and screw the radiodown. Reverse the steps used to remove the A/C head. Place the Nav DVDinto the radio and follow the onscreendirections. It sounds like alot of steps and time to install the Nav but it can be done in under 15min. easily. Let me know how it works for you.
