My roadster doesn't have the Nav system. I did, however, test drive a coupe with it. I must say I was not impressed. No maps, just text. Considering it's a $1200 option, I would rather spend money on an aftermarket Nav system/radio, like the Pioneer AVIC-N1 ($1999). That radio will sound better, too. I'm not willing to spend $1200, much less $2000, to have a Nav system that I'll rarely use. I guess I'm old-school, but I still know how to read a map.

Ron I agree that if it only text it is not worth the money.

Which navigation system was it? The g/f just got a roadster and the dealer didnt know when the navigation would be available if at all. Just need to know which one to order so I can install it.

It replaces the audio system head unit in the dash. I'm sure there's ONLY 1 available for the Crossfire. Unbelievable a dealership doesn't know about it, since I myself have seen Roadster's on the lot that had it.

Car was bought at Passport in Alexandria, the salesman didn't know about any navigation. The one here by me says its the RB4 but cant find any navigation system for the Crossfire. If anyone has a picture I could bring it, that'd be awesome. Even on carpoint.com and chrysler.com, I cant get a navigation option to come up for the roadster unless its the SRT6 and then it says RB3 which I thought was a Euro-only system.

Use the search tool here, look for "Becker".

i got it on the limited roadster and it works great. just put in town, street and number and it tells you turn by turn with small diagram which is perfectly clear and adequate. It also has a male or female voice that instructs you when and how to turn. I was impressed

it doesn't make sense though. The 300C has a small (video) screen. Would it be too much trouble to re-construct the crossfire dash so a small screen would fit?

I did not like the Nav package at all (I wanted to see a map), so I invested in the Pioneer AVIC-N1. Its great, and I love it to bits.

The black limited roadster I got came with it, so I had no choice(I wanted the car NOW). But I only paid 500 for it. By the way is the one you got a hang on , and if so where does it go in the dash (I like the clean look of no hang ons)
