    Don't forget the NAV disc.

    It will work just fine as soon as you install it, but you'll need a Starscan to update HAL so you can get the steering wheel buttons to control the NAV unit.

    I did mine this past Saturday and it swapped easier than I expected, years ago I used to do car audio installs and expected this swap to be a touch more in depth and it was simple plug and play, and the bezel just snaps off no screws to find! To date this is my favorite mod for the money (I paid $450 for mine).

    Check the for sale section, there is one for grabs right now and I've seen quite a few the past two weeks (I just bought mine last week). The only thing you need to know is the 300c Bezel differs from the Magnum/Charger bezels.

    OK I hate you Mango!! not really. I did all my friends stereos in high school.. never got paid, more like beer or gas money.. I popped the bezel off my mine last night and it looks pretty straight forward,, I have the REF or K.. the one that wont play burned mp3's.. argueabley the worst deck I ever had.. I know I can the sat and use the ipod adapter... but will i be able to control it thru the radio or the ipod.. thanks!

    You can find them on eBay for $20.

    Search for Dodge REC Nav antenna, or Alpine Nav Antenna. The plug is a small, square grey jobby.

    It's different than the sat antenna, as it mounts directly to the radio and mounts behind the gauge cluster, or up under the dash, if you don't want to take the cluster apart

    Moparsupercenter has them for $100... if you want to use a supporting vendor
