07 2.8 crd sxt - UCONNECT question from a newbie

most likely you don't have it, i don't have it and my stereo comes up with the same message " uconnect not available",
the thing in the overhead console is the receiver for the alarm interior motion sensor, the transmitter is in the headliner rear left hand side,

if you search uconnect on this forum there is plenty of info, your question has been asked loads of times, i just can't remember what is needed to get it working, but a new visor, uconnect module and some dealer programming springs to mind,
i don't recall many people actualy going ahead and getting it done, i think most people simply replace the head unit with an upto date touchscreen,

The auto dimming mirror with dual mic has them mounted on the very top--you'll feel a rectangular screen on the top on each side.

mine has the auto dimming mirror does that mean it already has the dual mic's

It might. Look on the top. You'll see the grille/hole for the mic. There's foam right underneath it.

I found one on ebay. I lucked out and it came with about a foot of the harness and the plug. So I created a custom harness crimped to that to wire it to my maestro harness.

The actual harness is available on amazon for $90.
It's pretty easy to run the harness if you know how to expose your dash and A-pillar (it all comes off pretty easily).

There are two possible harnesses:
mopar 82211666
mopar 82211868

If you search those you can find the pdf install instructions which is damn near as good as a Lego instruction booklet. You'll see what's involved and how to choose which one you need to buy or create.
