From what I've read, all of the above will work with most DCX/Chrysler vehicles (after a certain year of course, I think after 2002, not sure). The link I tried to post, had a tech describing everything from cost, parts to self install.I have read that a factory UConnect can be installed using the following items..Any techs that can confirm this?
5064013AH $282.00 $0.00 $219.70
Electrical - Electrical components - Module - Telematics
Telematics 2005 - 2006
4806228AB $195.00 $0.00 $152.10
Windshield - Glass - Mirror inside - W/auto dim
W/u connect comm. 2006
5089051AB $38.10 $0.00 $29.71
WIRING MIRROR JUMPER
bringing the install price to just over $400..
I'll have to check to see if I have any of the wiring harness bits in mine, but somehow I doubt it. Especially for the mirror. I also wouldn't doubt if the hardest part about this project becomes finding the vehicle-side connectors that come with the factory wiring harnesses. I'm not afraid of running new wires and splicing into existing wiring, but it's difficult to guarantee a solid connection to the radio/mirror/telematics module without those connectors.I couldn't find a wiring harness but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
On my Caliber, I wanted UConnect. The dealer gave me the Mopar UConnect, which despite what differences I'd read between factory and Mopars' unit, the Mopar performed quite well IMO. The dealer sent me to a shop that installs all aftermarket stuff for them. The tech that did my install even had the system working with the Calibers speaker system! It was very clear and loud as well. I can tell you though nitroman577, it's totally not simple to do.and here I thought this would be a 123 install mount run a couple of wires and bam your done. I was wrong. so much for simplicity.
It might not be so bad for just the auto-dimming mirror (where this thread started...sorry!) if you've got the overhead console. In that case, you *might* be able to tap into the console for power for the mirror and not have to run wires all over the place. I believe the mirror also wants to know if you're in reverse, presumably so it can turn off the dimming for you. Maybe everything else will work correctly without that input hooked up?and here I thought this would be a 123 install mount run a couple of wires and bam your done. I was wrong. so mutch for simplicity.
I was thinking more about using the power for the lights in the overhead console to give power to the added-on mirror, assuming at least the SXT C package. Who knows, maybe the pigtail for the mirror is tucked up under the headliner too. I wouldn't bet on it though.It would only be the wiring for the mirror in the headliner as the console stuff is now in the gage pod on the dash. Just wonder if that bundle is there as part of the build weather you get the autodim mirror or not.
