I went for a Kenwood 9980HD and would greatly recommend it if you are willing to spend the money. The audio controls and settings as well as the ridiculous amount of inputs and things it can do is absolutely insane. Full speech controls, blue tooth, garmin nav, dual ipod inputs, dual usb inputs (I have an external HDD connected to one and leave one for random stuff) as well as a full 13 frequency equalizer for each of the three channels (front, center and rear). I have owned a lot of different head units and have never seen anything that comes close to the 9980HD. Honestly if you have the money to spend I can't recommend it enough.

I think most of the non-oem looking ones like that (kenwood, pioneer, alpine, etc.) have better interfaces overall then the advent. Of course they usually do not integrate as well or as easily. Not to mention that kenwood is more money, no? But the thing I hate the most is they tend to look so out of place. In all of my previous cars I have always gone with the aftermarket head units (non oem-looking types) and it never looks right.

 

Got any pics of your install?

I just purchased the Advent OGM-1 nav unit from ADC Mobile after reading this thread and others like it. The OGM-1 was the best way to get the features that were important to me in a radio/nav. The installation was easy and straight forward. I did have to make a couple of calls to Walt at ADC Mobile for support and he was a big help. I really like the fit, just like factory with none of the spacers and adapter bezels that make the installation look amateurish or crudely done. I didn't get the backup camera with the initial purchase but I'll be adding that option soon! The OMG-1 is a good value for the dollar.

WHERE DID YOU GUYS BUY YOUR ADVENT 0GM1? I CANT FIND ANY LOCAL STORES THAT HAVE THEM

Old thread, but yes, most of us got our units from Walt ad ADC Mobile. Great guy. Great support.

I am very happy with my OGM-1. If you decide to go that route, then Walt is your man. Go ahead and give him a call. He will answer all of your questions

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
