Aftermarket Stereos That Work With Factory UConnect?

[Kevan]

I'm done squinting at the f-ing clock on my stereo.
The dealership has no information, and Harmon-Kardon (the folks who make the RB4) is a joke when it comes to customer service and tech support.

I'm looking for a unit like the RB4 (CD, Nav, etc.), but with a damn clock.

Does anyone know of any aftermarket head units that will work with the factory-installed UConnect system?

Apparently the RB-1 doesn't work with the factory UConnect: http://home.comcast.net/~mr.scsi3/RB1_RB4.HTML

Any non-Dodge/non-Chrysler headunits that work with the factory UConnect?

 

[TheMoparConnection]

the rb1 does work with uconnect. I've seen that setup from the factory

The factory Uconnect, or the dealer-installed Uconnect?

I think the guy with the RB1/RB4 site needs an email.

I'm still looking for non-Dodge/non-Chrysler options.

There are aftermarket stereo headunit options with built-in Bluetooth. :dontknow: Although, the U-Connect buttons on the mirror won't work anymore...

Give me a minute, and I will find you a link.

EDIT: Here are a few:

Personally... I like the Pioneer... I don't think the Clarion is out yet, and I've NEVER had good luck with Sony's stuff. My $0.02.

Sometimes you have to buy a kit that allows you to wire factory features like the U Connect or Bluetooth into an aftermarket head unit. I'm going to have to get one for my Avic N2

I didn't find any NAV units on the Sony or Clarion site.

The Pioneer link wasn't for their NAV stuff, but I did find it:

The P6800DVD looks sweet, but.......it's an extra $180 for the Bluetooth connector box.

And it still won't wire up to the UConnect.

I missed the part about wanting NAV... sorry.
