The reverse sensor is already a genuine Mopar accessory. Chick this link:

BTW, Wyckoff Chrysler is a good source for parts/accessories. I ordered my cargo cover from them and had a good experience.

Re: I LOVE my Crossfire, but I wish it had...
Bobs - agree. Wyckoff is a great place to buy. They are quick, good service and their prices are decent. When I was over at the PT Forum they used to give us a discount. Wonder if we could work something out with them for this forum?
What I'd like to see for the Crossfire?
A way to hook up my I-Pod without using a transmitter.

Re: I LOVE my Crossfire, but I wish it had...
I almost forgot, and far from last on my wish list...
- A chirping alarm confirmation
(by the way, this thread was only intended to name amenities available on many other cars, and not major engine, drive train, exhaust, etc stuff. That's a whole different story for those that think that stock isn't satisfactory).

Re: I LOVE my Crossfire, but I wish it had...
1) A compass. I really miss having some idea which way I'm going when out joyriding on back country roads.
2) Indicator of what gear I'm in (there's a space for it on the dash, but it seems to be active only on the auto-stick apparently. Not usable to double-check whether I'm in 1st, 3rd, or 5th gear before letting out the clutch).
3) Cruise control on/off indicator.
4) Two more inches of cabin space to recline and/or move/adjust the seat (I know ... outside of the 'scope' of the thread).
5) one-touch top retraction. Holding the button for the whole process keeps my hands occupied when I should be using those 22 seconds for putting on seatbelt and sunglasses so I can get rolling.
Mentioned before, but these are the only ones that really would make the car perfect:
6) Intermittent wipers (more than just one speed).
7) A usable cupholder (or ... maybe two, even?) - safely away from my elbow.
