JesterTA Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 What years and part numbers will work with my 16 crossroad?. I see posted that the charger 8.4 rb5 will work also? Ive been brousing the forum's but just want to know what nav version of the Rb5 I should get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Good luck with part numbers, they're all over the map and there's no magic decoder ring. Often even the sellers have no clue what they are offering - one member here bought THREE different radios from three DIFFERENT vendors and NONE of the three had nav even though they all claimed theirs did. You can use any RB5 from any vehicle except the Dart. So the 300, Charger and Journey can be donor vehicles if you get the right years. There are 3 series of RB5 . . . the original, which is from 2011 to mid 2012, another from mid 2012 to mid 2013 and 2014 and later radios, the latter of which support satellite traffic. All 2012+ and later radios as well as updated 2011's need an unlock code. Since you have a Crossroad you have an RE2 with SiriusXM so you have the antenna already. The swap takes all of 5 minutes once you have all the components in place. I have a 2014 radio I've tested sitting on my shelf available for purchase . . . . it is listed in the classified section.

JesterTA Posted January 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I contacted OEM Radios and they said that the charger radios might not work with the journeys. Have any of you used a donor receiver from a charger that worked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 What is 'OEM Radios'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 guess he means...... "OEM" redirects here. For other uses, see OEM (disambiguation). An original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is a company that makes a part or subsystem that is used in another company's end product.[1] For example, if Acme Manufacturing Co. makes power cords that are used on IBM computers, Acme is an OEM. However, the term is used in several other ways, which causes ambiguity. It sometimes means the maker of a system that includes other companies' subsystems, an end-product producer, an automotive part that is manufactured by the same company that produced the original part used in the automobile's assembly, or a value-added reseller.[2][3][4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I do know what OEM means. However I wondered who he was referring to by his reference, since it seemed to imply a specific company or group within a company; one that clearly is unaware of the systems used in Chrysler vehicles, as it happens.

JesterTA Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Ok, I got an RB5 from a 2014 DJ. Cant wait for my 16 to have NAV and XM Traffic. You guys are a plethora of Info!!! Hope fully when received I can get the unlock key quickly. I hate waiting. lol I think in going to order the lock pick? if that's what its called. I hate the fact that you cant change nav info on the fly. What if a passenger wants do do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesterTA Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Install was 5 minutes, Unit works great, was wondering, to update it, firmware and maps. Do I use the donor vin or is it now married to my vehicle since I had to input the anit theft code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 To be offered relevant firmware updates you need to use the donor VIN. For map updates you need the VIN from your vehicle. JesterTA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
