Light traffic: the trip was mostly in light traffic and the speedo was frequently at an indicated 70-78 just keeping up with traffic. Should I assume (stock size tires) the speedo embellishes a great deal? In my '07 Ltd. it would have been 65-70. Can the speedo be tweaked electronically to be considerably more accurate? I'll add that it is fun to have a 200mph, even if it is a 'wee' bit optimistic.
Accelerator pedal: Not a big deal but felt that more pressure was needed than in my '07. '07 has a 6-speed and wondered if the needed pressure was because of the automatic box.
Head-unit: It has an Alpine iDAX200 installed - I assume some years ago. It is not to my liking, since I do like a CD slot - and would much prefer the original SRT-6 unit, especially if the navigation system was/is at least 'reasonably' helpful. I'll add that by far my destinations are to places that were there in at least 2003. Should someone have a pristine one for sale, I also need the CD's, even though they were in the glove-box, since one was badly scratched. I do have the navigation manual.
Comments on either or both would be appreciated. Please comment here.
The CDs can be downloaded from this site if you follow the instructions and use the correct program for the job.
If you down load the official Mopar Nav install instructions (PDF) on this site they will tell you the wiring mods that need to be done for the nav radio install. Check your car to see if they have been done. I have my nav radio all wrapped up for when I get fed up with the one I added. It is obsolete but does work OK.
My speedo seems the same as my old NA, no difference to be noted there.
