Hi all! my dad just bought me my first car for my 16th b-day. I got a marine blue SXT with the musicgate. Since I'm not 16 yet, 4 more days, can't wait. anyway, he put in these old cd's, styx's and ealges. Never heard of them. He turned up the music so loud, looked over at me and said, now that's music. "no rapper can touch hotel california", what's that all about.

don't like the music, but WOW on the sound!

That's close to PA..and yeah, that's pretty "out" there if I remember. I'm sure its a nice place to be though.

Sounds like you could be the first person on "the block" with the Caliber Musicgate system then too. Nothing like having a car good and kitted out to show off to your friends.

Are you thinking about putting any mods on your Caliber when you finally get it? I know you said you weren't looking for something super aggressive for the speaker system, but some tints on the front would look good if you got some nice alloys on there already...

I'm not going to mod my car. I'm the kind of person who likes to keep the car as I ordered it. So no body kits or anything like that. I will however be adding some Dodge Accessories and I will have the rear side/hatch windows tinted. I already have the Caliber Door Entry Guards, Caliber Slush Mats, and Caliber Bright Pedal Kit for it. Oh, when available, I will put a K&N Air Filter in there and if they have it, possibly a SunBurst Orange SRT-4 Hood Cover (where the air inlets are). Other than that, it will most likely stay the way it is.

I don't want to tint the front side windows because its illegal to tint the windows in anything but an SUV in NYS so I'll just stick to the rear windows like an SUV would be tinted off the truck. I figure it looks enough like an SUV that nobody will both with it. I'd hate to pay $150 to get the windows tinted and then be made the New York State Trooper to take it off and believe me they WILL make you take it off! You'll even have to have an officer sign a paper verifying that you took it off or else you get fined continuously until you do so.

Oh BTW...I'm 23 and Hotel California is a freakin' awesome song! Gotta love the classic rock! Kicks @$$!!!

To almost anybody over the age of 35, rap is random and irritating noise something best suited for torturing mutants and farm animals you don't like. It's mysoginistic, violent, and exploitive, and quite frankly, I'm tired of hearing it from 4 blocks away. "Hotel California" is classic music, you're just not old enough to understand that yet.

I will actually be the ONLY person with a Caliber SXT Sport in the area. I have seen a total of 2 Calibers. One was a Steel Blue Caliber SE and the other was a Marine Blue SXT with no options except maybe fog lamps. Other than that, no Calibers in this area. I'm sure by this time next year, everyone will have one that wants one. Of course, since I got Sunburst Orange, everyone will have to have SunBurst Orange too! Never fails!

I currently have a Deep Red Stratus R/T Coupe and nobody had any Stratus Coupe's at all, let alone a Deep Red one. Now there is 3 in the area the same color as mine and I see at least 6 or 7 Dodge Stratus Coupes around the area all the time of different colors and models.

MusicGate--Sweet! and MEAN as HELL when you want it to be!!! Even sweeter when you get the steering wheel controls for it! Nothing to see, but fits like a glove.

MusicGate comes with Leather wrapped Steering Wheel and Steering wheel mounted audio controls.

Can't wait until mine comes in so I can actually hear it!

I got the SXT with the musicgate system, the sound is incredible. It comes with a little 8" sub in the back of the hatch. Pretty nice. My Sirius came with the car and it came with 1 year free subscription. One thing I'm curious about is..... Where is my jack for my MP3 player. I think I was screwed on that.

Koolklown,

You only get the jack for your MP3 player on the base model stereo, Kinda strange you loose a feature with an upgrade to the stereo.

Later

Mike

Thanks for that Tid Bit, I was starting to think I was over looking it. Well..... at least I have the MP3 Player, and I've never owned a 6 disc changer in any of my cars. WOW

If you have an iPod, an iPod integration kit will be available soon if its not already out. It will require the upgraded radio which it sounds like you already have.

Hi i'm new to this forum and recently just purchased a black SXT sport however in order to get the color I wanted without having to wait I had to purchase it without the musicgate option. I was just curious if i could have it installed at the dealership in the future, thanks in advance.

In all reality, not a very practical idea. Cost would be the problem, all the parts involved would be very expensive, and that doesn't even include the labor involved.

Prepare to give both arms and both legs for that to happen...

Hi Adamsi...Welcome, and Congrat's on your new Dodge Caliber SXT Sport

Sounds awesome!!!

Regarding the Musicgate option, I suggest to speak with your local DCX dealership. Speak with the Parts Department, they will inform you if that is available for an aftermarket purchase.
At the same time, you can always check out www.mopar.com. Under Dodge Caliber, it lists all the accessories available.

Let me know if there is anything I can do.
Thanks...and Enjoy!

Kelly S
