I've got a Z1 (upgraded to Z3), but it was installed by previous owner. I did though find a lot of useful info here though. www.AVIC411.com

On my truck I had to get the double din navigation bezel made by mopar, an antenna adapter that goes from the chysler to std type anternna connection, bezel adapter (chrysler navigation bezel is slightly different that a true dbl din.), and an adapter harness. The adapter harness I got for mine actually has a can bus adapter that has vehicle speed, backup, and other signals.

I think I might have used this model. Works very well.

I used a factory NAV bezel and a Metra install kit.

I love my D3, if you can get at least the bluetooth module. I love using it in my cab. While you guys are doing it, go and buy some cheap AV cables and run them to under the passenger seat. It was kind of a pain tearing eveything out and now I wont have to do it again when I want to add on.
