I am going to have the dealer order and install the navigation system in my truck. I have heard both good and bad about the system. For those of you that have the system in your truck, how do you like it? If it is anything like the one they have in the Escalade I'll be very happy. Appreciate any feed back.

You'll be disappointed if you are comparing the nav in the Escalade to the one in the SRT/10.jimmyg79 said:
I purchased a Garmin 2610 for the SRT/10's without Nav. It is better than any other Nav out there. Extremely easy to you. If you want or need dead reckoning then go with the 2660.

Well, I took a look at the Garmin 2610. Looks nice but where did you mount it? It looks like it would need to be mounted on the dash. And why would I be disapointed with the stock unit. Does it have voice prompted turn-by-turn? Can it switch between 2 dimentional and 3 dimentional veiws? Can regular DVD's be played on it? And is it user friendly? Thanks.
dont do it
if i had to do over again i would do an aftermarket one
the new one in the 2005 magnum is a ton better as was the one in the older grand chreokee
my nav is ok but not what it should be
if you want to see it, or go for a ride let me know you can
i am not 110% happy with it

You need to mount it on the dash and it does not look as nice as the built in one, but it works.jimmyg79 said:
yes it has voice turn by turn
it does not have any maps
no to dvd
you have to know the exact city to find an address and if it,s not listed your done.
Did i mention that there are no maps
I got a price of around $1500.00 for the factory one, and was ready to do it, until I went to the dealership and looked at it. The clean install is the only thing going for it. Nothing else.
Garmin still sitting on the dash, looking stupid and working great.

Customers may be telling us all alot also, as we only had one truck ordered with NAV , and we didn't get a single request from anyone else on the unit. So far we have not ordered an 05 ( in QuadCab or Reg Cab ) with the NAV. Just for your info.

I have the factory NAV unit and Sirrius. The TWO good things about it are:
1) Turn by turn instruction - If you're traveling far and fast, and unfamiliar with the area, it is very helpful knowing how much further before you have to merge from far left to far right.
2) Steering wheel control allows you to flip between map page and music source page along with control of volume and channels, etc.
Other than that, it is fairly cumbersome to work. I wish Dodge had teamed up w/ Garmin on the Nav unit. BMW is working w/ Garmin now.
It's EASIER to navigate my airplane than my truck! www.direct2avionics.com
My 2 cents.

Just a heads up. The SRT-10 comes from the factory with the RB4 Navigation system. For a better system try the RB1. Here is the specifics.http://www.wjjeeps.com/nav.htm#PARTS In addition this site will tell you how the cd changer and satelite radio work together. BTW. I installed the RB1. Works great... Joe
