Default Factory Uconect installed on 2005 T&C

Yesterday I was able to install factory Uconnect in my wife's limited. I followed the description here on the LH forums

http://www.lhforums.net/forums//showthread.php?t=84

There was a problem with the radio to module harness being the wrong part but supposedly that has been updated. I did not use this harness as I had to make my own then found that the harness was available after all. I would check with the dealer if you do go this route as I have not seen this new harness yet. The system works quite well but is very expensive (about $600 with new and used parts). It works on 2005 to 2007 vans with the RB1 Radio. I am not sure if it interfaces with other radios of that era.

The only difference from the write up above was there was a socket under the DVD player that the power came from so mine plugged write in, I did not have to splice for the power. The other difference is I have a DVD changer and the write up uses a CD changer.
I took many pictures of my install and can proved them in needed. I also documentd how I made my harness.

Also, for those that don;t want to spend this kind of money, there is another system made by the same people that make Uconnect (Johnson Controls) and it is called Blue Connect...

We had this in our Van before I collected all the parts for the real deal. Blue connect goes for about $250 and works pretty good. We have the overhead rail system and I mounted the blue connect on the forward overhead bin.
