The changer is most definately in the dash. I bought a Daytona off a dealer's lot last night. Of course I had been searching for several weeks and drove 70 miles to get it. If you are shopping, be sure to get the "secret" $500 rebate. I received an e-mail from Dodge about it but the dealer didn't know anything about a rebate on Chargers. I made them verify with Chrysler Finance and sure enough it exists!
