Hi! I bought a 2008 Patriot FDi last week, and am excited to get off the road and onto the dunes! Since I've already referred to this forum like, 100 times, I figured I'd go ahead and join. My last car was a 2010 Dodge Challenger (RIP, dear friend), and this is my first 4x4, so I'm excited to...

Hey all I've recently bought a 2008 Patriot, second hand. I'm looking to upgrade the head unit. Previous owner had removed OEM headunit, and replaced it with an Alpine single DIN one, seemingly many years ago. It needs to be replaced, and I am going to upgrade it to (google this, as I can't...
