Rb1 and Mopar Ipod Intergration

[Nader]

Looks like Mopar finally came out with a kit to connect an Ipod to the stock Dodge/Chrysler radio. While the Viper is not on the list of cars the kit is available for, it show, however, the RB1 in the pamphlet so I assume it will work in the Viper so long as you have the RB1.

I know Dan (FinalGTS) was selling a package including the RB1 and Ipod integration, I am just not sure if this is the same setup. Nonetheless, it is nice to know you can now purchase this kit knowing it is an official Mopar accessory.

With that said, I am in the market for the RB1 so long as I can get one of these kits. Has anyone seen or heard of this? Anyone have this exact setup? I am interested to see where you store the Ipod. I am planning on purchasing an ipod mini and leaving it in the car and only take it out on the rare occasion it needs to be updated. You can get a fairly cheap used one on ebay.

Here is the pamphlet.

They are available, they do work with the RB1, and they do work in a Viper. I have one in my car now.

Does it work with the RB1 and the Chrysler Sirius unit plugged in at the same time?
Thank you. Larry

 

[Viper Specialty]

Dan is it plug and play? Where did you locate your Ipod?

Yes, plug and play. I located my ipod in the trunk, but I already had a cable running back there and slaved for a day doing the soldering work. It would be much easier to locate it somewhere in the passenger compartment.

No, that is not it

Thank you. Larry

it should, the iPod kit allows the Sirius/CD changer to be plugged into it, and it will allow a toggle on the main menu.

 

[Nader]

Can how much for the ipod kit alone?

 

[Nader]

Okay this time in english.

Dan how much for the IPOD kit alone?

 

[Viper Specialty]

165.00+ship

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

I know Costco sells the IPOD now.


Dumb question: what's an RB1




Sounds like a drive through order at Arby's

RB1 is the Navigation Radio

 

[Nader]

RB1 is one of the radio/navigation systems for Chrysler. Look in back at the top. It is the radio/NAV system on the right hand side. It fits into the stock Viper radio slot.

 

[Andrew/USPWR]

Cool, thanks

I have a portable GPS, but the IPOD would be nice.

I will probably install mine tonite and might post progress pics of the install and maybe some of the RB1 and Sirius install.
I dont want to start a price war with anyone on here but I can get that ipod part cheaper.

 

[Nader]

Definitely let us know how the install goes. Where are you going to locat the Ipod? Also what Ipod are you using?

I this i will mount mine in the center arm rest.

 

[Nader]

I think my fingers have a mind of their own.

"I THINK I WILL MOUNT MINE IN THE CENTER ARM REST."

Dos Equis break.....

overall a pretty easy install. Everything is working, sirius, radio, nav and ipod. I installed the small box in the glovebox area and ran the cable to the center console.

Now I just need to remember where all these screws go...Why do I always have extra parts?

I only rate this a two beer job....Didnt even disconnect battery.

 

[Hans Christian]

[Nader]

Nice job. I like it. Looks like I am next. Question does it charge the ipod as well?

 

[zen garage]

It charges the ipod too. my proudest moment tonight was throwing that piece of crap FM modulator in the garbage!
