i have a lot of buddies that have newer cars an 05 srt4 and a ram 1500 and they put the rb1 nav in their vehicles, and when we did theirs they had different harness so it was just a plug and play kinda thing. now i have a 00 so the wiring harness is a different pin connetor but they make this harness adaptor for vechiles 97-01 for the rb1, has anyone ever tried it? the only reason i would hook up the rb1 is because i can get one for cheap. so if anyone knows anything about the rb1 let me know! thanks

I tried it on my 97, but gave up when the RB! unit was toast. It can be done. but i have also heard that to use the nav system its a different ball game as far as the feed for the speed sensor

I saw a truck on ebay a few weeks back that did it. I have always wanted to try too.

yeah thanks for replying man because i know that's the major difference is the rb1 runs off of the can bus system for the nav but it still looks better than the stock one that's for sure
