Very unique Navigation install. But have problems need help!!
Well guys I did something probably no one has ever done before with some success. I purchased a Chrysler RB1 in dash navigation unit (made by alpine for chrysler). It took some dremeling and special wire harnesses top get it to work but its in place and looks AMAZING. Only problem is after buying it and installing it I found out this unit uses a special PCI-bus input wire which allows it to get vehicle speed info and possibly other info that I cant seem to duplicate from my camaro. I believe this single wire comes from the cars body control module and is digital. Hooking my VSS wire to the bus wire going into unit will not do the trick. The map will only show my turn and no movement. So for now voice guidance and mapping isnt working. If there are any of you out there that are VERY knowledgeable with vehicle electrical systems and more specifcally mopar systems I need your help BAD!!! Anyway here are some pics let me know what you think.

If you get this figured out, we want a write up...that is totally bad ***. I would love to have the new touch screen system that comes in the Honda Accords. The radio and GPS is built into the screen. It also plays XM.

RB1 Navigation
If anyone is interested in trying to make the Chrysler RB1 navigation unit work in a non-Chrysler vehicle, there may be a solution depending on the exact Bus system that your vehicle uses, putting together some info this week.
