Hi guys. I'm new and need a little guidance on my head unit install.

I have a Kenwood DNX-8120 that I installed in my other car (a GM vehicle) and then removed it before trading it in on the Dodge. My Dodge has the standard REF radio system with Sirius and Uconnect. The system does not have the steering wheel controls btw.

What I want to know is what interface to use...the PAC Audio C2R-CHY4 or C2R-CHY? Or is there another one?

I want to utilize the original Sirius antenna which is mounted at the top of the cab in conjunction with the Sirius tuner SC-C1. Is that possible? I understand the OEM antenna can indeed be hooked up to the SC-C1 somehow.

Lastly, which antenna adapter will I need? I seem to have it drilled down to the Metra antenna adapter- 40-CR10.

Sorry for the newb questions.

Shopping list is as follows:

Kenwood CA-SR20V + SIRIUS SC-C1

Metra antenna adapter- 40-CR10

Metra 99-6510 dash kit

OEM Dodge Ram 08 REC Nav / Navigation Radio Bezel

PAC Audio can-bus adapter: C2R-CHY4 -OR- C2R-CHY??

Am I missing anything?

The only thing I might miss is the Uconnect Bluetooth because the BT on the DNX stinks with my Motorola Droid.

I will likely mess with amps and speakers later.

Thanks in advance.
