    The cd player is near the bottom of the dash, just above the shifter..it is a few inches below the radio's interface...inside the console is 2 plug ins..1 usb and 1 aux..so, I have to open the console to access those plug ins

    The HU is a silver box, located behind the center stack. The antennas (AM,FM and Sirius) will be plugged into it, along with the plugs for the speaker and power harnesses. On my 8.4, there is a slot for the CD under the round heater/AC control knobs. On the mygigs, the CD player was located behind the screen; thus integrated with the HU. I'm not sure about these new HUs - the CD player might be separate.
    You can call oemautoparts.com. They are very friendly and helpful. I'd call them before you tear into it. As I said, my HU was just laying on the floor, and I really didn't look at it closely; so I'm not sure if the CD player is built into it. Now you have my curiosity going. I went out and looked at mine. By the contours of the dash and where my CD player is located, the HU may be mounted just behind the screen, which must be very thin; if the CD player is built into the HU. The harness for the BU Camera plugs into the back of the HU, but it only works on the 8.4 HUs. So, I have no idea why the tech at my dealer had my whole dash apart while he was installing the BU camera. So there must be some sort of difference between the HU for the 4.2 and 8.4.

    Even though the car may have come with Trailer Tow Prep from the factory, the power to the wiring is not enabled from the factory. In most cases, customers return to the dealership to have the hitch installed, at which point the wiring is connected and then enabled. Adding the correct sales code and reconfiguring the vehicle to see the new code is included in the labor for the hitch installation. If a customer installs the hitch and wiring themselves, their selling dealer should add the code and reconfigure the vehicle at no charge (the process takes ten minutes to complete). If she were to return to another dealership for the reconfig, only then I would expect a small charge to be levied.

    Do you know if the 4.3 is the actual radio? When my dealer was installing my rear view camera, I walked back to check on their progress when everyone was at lunch. The 8.4 is just a screen. The radio actually sits behind it somewhere (it was loose when I checked). It looks like a mygig without the screen.
    I'm with you on listening to the radio. All my music is on my iPhone, but I screwed up. I updated my phone to iOS8 and now it no longer plays well with Uconnect. So, I listen to The Spectrum. At least they play some of my music, until an update comes out.

    I am going to try and test some of the same music on an IPod and see how it compares to the cd
    I generally burn my own music for driving...hate the radio
    I just cannot play music from cd too loud..just too harsh with the lack of bass and the sizzle of the static

    If your radio sounds decent, and this only does this with CDs, the laser may be going out. The factory speakers are crap paper. I switched my 4 door speakers for 6x9 Alpines. According to Crutchfield, no one makes a replacement for the dash speakers, so I left them as is.
    If it it the laser, check out oemautoparts.com. They specialize in Mopar radios; some are brand new dealer takeouts. They bench test every radio they sell, update it to the most current software, and replace the screen if there are any marks. Great prices and great people to work with

    i had the Katzkin heated seats installed in my crossroad and my installer said that he couldnt do the pass seat bottom due to the type senser that dodge use , he said if the heated seats had come from the factory they put in a different type senser and if not ordered they use a different senser. the seat back was not affected and has the heater in it. that is what they told me.

    Where there is a will, there is a way... I don't see why you couldn't add it to the passenger side as well. You'll just want to make sure that any wires that are exposed in order to get them into the cushion are protected sufficiently. Over time they could wear out from opening and closing the seat...

    One possibility:
    Symptom/Vehicle Issue: Washer Light On And/or Washer Light Will Not Go Out After Adding Washer Solvent.
    Discussion: Vehicles that use a continuity prong style washer level sensor are designed to work with most alcohol based washer solvents. We have received information that some rain repellant solvents may not register properly. The rain repellant washer solvents have been found to coat the sensor tips with a residue that will not allow an accurate reading. Some of the rain repellant washer solvents are orange in color, but may not necessarily be.
    If the customers complaint matches the Symptom/Vehicle Issue above, verify the washer solvent condition and color. If the solvent appears contaminated or its condition is unknown, it may be necessary to drain the reservoir and also remove and clean the washer level sensor.

    Always up for a good road trip! Thanks for the kind words. The Crew (now Limited) comes with chrome roof rails, chrome door handles and chrome grill. Just enough to make it classy without being ostentatious, IMO.
