From : miles
Q: diesel prices have made me stop using the truck for daily commutes and city driving. so i got a pt cruiser for such. id like to put a nav. unit in but have factory sirius uconnect evic display etc. talked to one dealer who said the mopar ree is specified for the 2008 pt cruiser. the mopar part # is 05091522ad. i cant find any solid info on this unit. i did find a few websites for the ree but was in europe. the unit is standard 1.5 din size which is whats needed for the pt as there is not enough room to modify the bezel to fit the 2 din rec etc. anyone have any further info on the ree unit or any other factory nav. that fits the chrysler/dodge 1.5 din anyone know if there are different versions of the ref and raq stereos for the older 2004+ canbus and the newer bus as used by the mygig unit i have the ref now but not sure if that implies the older canbus or not. .

diesel prices have made me stop using the truck for daily commutes and city driving. so i got a pt cruiser for such. id like to put a nav. unit in but have factory sirius uconnect evic display etc. talked to one dealer who said the mopar ree is specified for the 2008 pt cruiser. the mopar part # is 05091522ad. i cant find any solid info on this unit. i did find a few websites for the ree but was in europe. the unit is standard 1.5 din size which is whats needed for the pt as there is not enough room to modify the bezel to fit the 2 din rec etc. anyone have any further info on the ree unit or any other factory nav. that fits the chrysler/dodge 1.5 din anyone know if there are different versions of the ref and raq stereos for the older 2004+ canbus and the newer bus as used by the mygig unit i have the ref now but not sure if that implies the older canbus or not. miles unless you can buy this for real short money i think youd be better of with a garmin. for around $500.00 you can buy a garmin nuvi 760 that is updateable has bluetooth and is portable. take a look! https//buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.docid=134&pid=10624 i know the price shown is over $600.00 but they can be had for less online. i bought this unit for $510.00 a couple of months ago. .
