Ok....has anybody else put one of these in their Jeep?
I have researched this for a year, and in fact, just got finished reading the PDF of the manual, just to make sure.
I have an 06 LJ, had the RBK radio and Sirius...from the factory. Bought the RB1 yesterday and put it in. Everything works on it, except displaying song/artist/info on the Sat. radio. The FM RDS works fine, nav works fine, Sirius works but no info....
The ONLY thing I did was switch out HUs (Head Unit). The plugs were the same, everything went together just right.
Everywhere I read, it says this radio is capable of displaying info, and says nothing of 'software uploads' (:geek:<---dealer is telling me that they have to connect Mr.Orange to the internet, 'talk' to Chyrsler, and then it dl's info and 'tells' my Jeep that I switched the radio from one factory radio to another..)
or any other mods nesc. to make this work.....
Hmmm...I smell :poop:
The Mopar website itself, sells the RB1 with an application for the Jeep, also, with no indication of modifications. Oh, wait, yeah, they 'suggest' a new mounting bracket, but that's it!!
The dealer wants to charge me 95 bucks to connect ol orange to the net...says, 'if it works, then we charge you, if not...then no charge' he says.
I think it should be looked at/taken care of through warranty, since they are both Mopar Products...and the issue is with the Sirius tuner, not the RB1...
(Yes, it's the same stealership as Schmo's....)
:bonk::angry::bonk::angry::bonk:
Please help me figure this out.....
Thanks for all thoughts, in advance....
