I think it was just a case of Chrysler not spending enough time with the head-unit. Even before I heard of this problem, I had a feeling the stereo was going to be sort of slapped together. So far I have seen 3 different head units in the Crossfire. The original pictures of the interior had a black Mercedes head-unit. Then they just painted the face of that radio silver to match the center console. Not until very recently before the launch of the Crossfire did you see any pictures of the actual head-unit. I think if Chrysler had spent some time on the stereo, we would have seen a navigation system as well, and a head-unit that isn't impossible to read.
