Where can I get one of these 18.4" touch screens?

I think all they do is put a chip in the car somewhere, that's what I was told I would call the dealership and ask.

There is a couple threads about this, but you have to switch out the entire radio you have the RE2 radio and you need the RB5 (above the glovebox). If you have sat radio on your radio now you don't have to change the antenna, if you do not have it.. you have to put new antenna and cable down to the radio..

how much does that cost?

So if we have the 8.4", sat radio, what else is needed. Trying to avoid the $500 pricetag i'm getting quoted if its just something that needs to be 'enabled' for a lesser cost.

You need the RB5 radio from another Dart, Charger, and I believe the Ram has it.. So a junkyard or online junkyard is your best bet i'd think.. Wherever you get it from make sure to get the VIN... After you install it (glovebox is a PITA to get out) you will have to take it to a dealership to update your car on what radio is in it. There is a better write up on the steps if you search RB5 in this forum. RE2 to RB5 conversion or something like that its called

I have seen the radio from 250-450 and I'd assume 100 bucks from the dealership to update the VIN.

Simply put; click through this thread: http://www.dodge-dart.org/forum/dodge-dart-electronics/5188-what-needed-add-8-4-re2-radio-tft.html

It will explain just about everything. It's not easy, and it's not cheap, but it is possible. Just like adding any other electronic toys that are in the Limited & GT.

I asked the dealer yesterday and they said it was not possible at all

It is possible. To switch out head units. Already been done by a handful of people.

Likely because they either didn't want to do it, or thought you meant flashing it to activate.
