I have the same "base" stereo, and am planning an upgrade at some point.
Try to remember that this is uncharted territory (I keep thinking of the ancient maps with the legend "Here Be Dragons...") for most of us.
FWIW ... I'm guessing that the Charger forums might have some answers, since the cars are very similar under the skin.
Good luck with your deployment. Stay safe.
As a police officer friend of mine once said, "Always attempt to maintain a low profile!"
And thanks for your service.
I called a local dealer service department.
There is a 3 character code on the faceplate of the stereo mine is "RES"
What he thinks the problems are is that the stereo I was trying to put in came out of a 2009 Jeep (it was also a "RES") and it probably came with an amp package of some sort. Because one of the two (mine or the new stereo) doesn't have a built in amp or something like that, it was just confusing the computer Bus in the car.
He recommended that if I want a better head unit, i just go full aftermarket.
