    Back from my first road trip ...

    As requested, I got my uncle on-board here. I was out again this weekend visiting him and told him about how everyone liked his stories I posted. I got him signed-up (useid: jas1941). Be kind, he's new to bulletin board threaded discussions.

    Opinions Needed - XM or Sirius?

    I opted for Sirius because: 1. I listen to Stern 2. I like that the radio is integrated into the factory radio (I hate aftermarket radios) 3. I get a free year from Chrysler

    RB1, no song titles from Sirius

    I believe the RB1 is made by Alpine, as per this link: http://home.comcast.net/~mr.scsi3/RB1_RB4.HTML

    RB1, no song titles from Sirius

    Here's my take on things. If you get a CD changer when you get Sirius, you'll get installed a DIFFERENT install kit. This kit comes with a multiplexer, which from what I gather, is what's required for the special song/artist cable to be used with. Its that special cable that gives you the...

    Remote starter

    Even for the new key/fob integrated sentry keys? That's what I have on my '05. I don't like it, but that's what I've got.

    Remote starter

    I hear there's an "official" Chrysler remote starter kit that doesn't require a dedicated sentry key to be made. The cost of the key for my 2005 was over $120, so that plus to cost of the remote starter wasn't in the cards for me. I think the Chrysler remote kit was upwards of $350, so even...

    RB1 DVD-ROM Backup

    Anyone ever try to backup their RB1's DVD-ROM? I hear that disc is pretty expensive, and I'd hate to have to replace it due to a scratch... I have a dual-layer DVD burner at work, and was wondering if a copy of the DVD-ROM would work just as well as the original. Dual-layer blanks are still...

    RB1, no song titles from Sirius

    No, the cable is a special run from the Sirius receiver. Even if I would have gotten the RB1 from "legitimate" sources, my Sirius install still wouldn't have sent the artist data. Apparently this "special" cable is only run when Sirius is installed with a CD changer. Stupid, in my opinion...

    Navigation Orientation

    How do you find "the nearest" anything? I'm still too new to know it all.

    RB1 Address Book Question

    How do you MAKE a new folder for address book contacts? I can't seem to figure it out, and the book isn't helping. All my contacts I'm adding are going in the TEMPORARY folder, so I want to get them OUT of there so I won't have to RE-enter my addresses.

    RB1, no song titles from Sirius

    If anyone is able to work it in to their budgets, I HIGHLY recommend picking this unit up. (This is my tax refund at work here.) Mine cost $875 on eBay. It came in great shape, and works perfectly in my Jeep. Here's the direct link to the auction I got mine from...

    RB1, no song titles from Sirius

    The REGULAR FM stations show the extra info. Its the Sirius stations the apparently require more hardware for that function to work.

    Navigation Orientation

    I hover around 1/8 and 1/20. But even at the closest zoom, I find that there aren't too many street names shown. I guess room is an issue. It'd be more helpful if more street names were crammed in there, regardless of the room.

    Navigation Orientation

    Those of you with an RB1 (or other) navigation... Do you like it set for an orientation of NORTH always being UP, or do you prefer your DIRECTION to always be up? I'll not sure which way I prefer it yet, and wanted some opinions.

    RB1, no song titles from Sirius

    Don't get me wrong, so far I love the NAV unit. I look forward to my next long trip with it. However, I find it frustrating that the song data display requires yet MORE hardware. Mopar/Chrysler needs to simplify things a little here. I think I can live without the song data. I bet I'll keep...

    RB1, no song titles from Sirius

    Well, I just installed my RB1. It all works great, except when in Sirius, it doesn't display the artist/song titles as I feared. Is something just set wrong? I honestly don't see how it could be another cable, as there are no other ports on the back of this unit. Could it be a different...

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    Are you getting it custom made, or are picking one off the lot? I had to go custom as what I wanted wasn't to be found within 600 miles of Pittsburgh. The 4-week wait was horrible.

    The Little Things

    I agree on the glovebox size; I can barely fit a map in there. Although its nice to have a "hidden" area for the manual. And as far as the change goes, I picked-up an ash tray for mine. It fits nicely in the cup holder, and is removable to make room for a 2nd cup, or to find the exact change...

    Cargo area mats

    I'd like to get a cargo area mat, but was wondering if they redesigned the "shape" of the cargo area floor in the '05 models. Would an '04 mat fit in an '05? Are there differences?
