    I was waiting for the 2006 PT Crusier. I wanted one with the Navigation
    like the 2005 model. They no longer are offering it. :(

    You may have to purchase the complete radio if you want the nav system. Isnt
    there an accessorie kit from the dealer still?

    The 05 radios had rounded edges. The 06 radios have square edges. I don't
    think the 05 ones will even fit in the new 06 dashboard. I waited 3 months
    and now this. It is a big disappointment. I wonder if they will make one
    as a separate accessory in the future?

    What website are you going to? When I visit Chryslers home site I only see
    05's. They do have a link to the Route 66 SE but no other 06 info that I can
    see.

    Is there a link I am missing that you could provide?

    It's the regular page. When you goto the PT Cruiser section, the photos
    show the 05 but if you select Build & Price, there is an drop-down box to
    select the 05 or the 06 model.

    You can also buy an external GPS. I use the Magellan roadmate 700 and I am
    very satisfied. You can move it between cars, or take it out. In a couple
    of years you can replace it with something better, instead of having
    outdated technology sitting in your car.

    The Nav system has gotten so popular over the years Im sure Chrysler makes
    an accessory package or another radio that will get you what you want,
    Contact your dealer parts department

  9. Very good point. In Europe there are also PDA packages, e.g. Palm with
    Michelin. Must be similar in NA. Some you don't need to keep plugged into
    power so you can carry around in your pocket and find your way round
    Timbuctoo.

    For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling

    Yeah, it's always been so much fun plugging in power adapters, and antennas,
    stuff like that, then having to try to mount the thing on the dashboard/
    windshield/wherever it will stay stc.....

    I contacted the parts department and they found that for the 2006 models,
    Mopar has a system that mounts on the dashboard. The man described it to me
    as a "box". I figure it will be this ugly think that also obstructs your
    view but I haven't seen it yet. I don't want a portable one. I like it
    right in the radio.

    The roadmate takes about 20 seconds to install, no external antenna. It
    mounts to the window with a suction cup on an arm, it's fast and secure.
    The cable is a little bother but not a big deal.

    I thought they were selling the in-dash units like the rb1 and rb4. The
    parts man described this one as an on-the-dash unit. He said the part
    number is 82209542.

    Hard wired into the harness with a pedalstool that screws to the dash, like
    the old cell phone mounts with a swivel

  18. I wonder if the insurance companies put pressure on the automakers to stop
    putting so much desirable stuff in the radio.

    Sounds like the roadmate there is just the ticket. You see now, when you
    forget
    it, the thief only breaks your window and takes it, rather than breaking
    your
    window then destroying your dashboard. I'm sure the Insurance companies
    prefer
    that since it's not part of the car, they don't have to replace it vs an
    expensive
    dash job.
