Adding navigation and DVD screens
Hi All,
I just purchased a 2011 Caravan Crew. It has the in dash touch screen system with the DVD player but lacks both navigation and the DVD screens that back seat passengers can use. Any suggestions on how I can add these items would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

From what i have read about the dvd and nav systems you would have to get a new radio and then have it flashed by the dealer to work and get all cables set up.
now i have a 2011 GC that had the in dash DVD but no rear DVD monitors. I had the dealer add that with the purchase of the van but when i call to get it installed they told me that dodge does not offer a dvd add on for my van with the over head already there. they had to seek an outside vendor (Car Toys) to get it installed and still they had a lot of problems finding a right fit. it took about a month for them to get it.
They ended up putting a Advent ADV850S 8.5-inch overhead system DVD player" with a 8.5" screen where the factory screen would be and having to run power and wire to it from the back of the radio with a "AllGIG A/V & Camera Harness (Dodge Caravan / 2011, USA)" from NavTV for about $75. now you can get the lockpick from NavTV to unlock the dvd in motion for about $300. this was the best option that they had for me in Jan. 2012 they did say that a kit from after market companies should be coming out summer/fall this year. good luck! i have pictures if you would like.
