Not to sound bad or anything, thats a form letter answer. You should know that the MusicGate option can't be a Mopar.com option, plus it would be an extremely expensive aftermarket option, installation of all the speakers, amp, subwoofer compartment in the rear with new side panel, new rear door panel and swing down speakers, would be very very expensive.

Sorry guys...my bad ... wrong choice of words.
The musicgate option is not an accessory through Mopar. I did post www.mopar.com for other ideas that may be useful to Adamsi.

In regards to speaking with your local DCX dealership, they may also have other options (aftermarket) and may have ideas to help as well, that I may not be aware of.

Once again my apologies...

Kelly S

The base stereo comes with the jack because it won't play MP3's on CD.
The high end stereo's will play MP3 CD'S . Thats the trade off.

I'd rather get the base stereo which has the Aux Input on it so I can plug my iPod Mini into it WITHOUT having to spend more money on an iPod Integration Kit.

Adamsi,

Give this person a call. I get all my parts from him, and it looks like this is not an option to purchase as a kit, but I'll bet he can get the replacement parts for you like the rear hatch folding speakers and all the interior pieces you need. He is real good with this kind of stuff. Maybe even just buy the interior parts like the fold down speakers which you probably have to purchase the whole interior piece on the hatch and then use your own amp or something like that. Art is awesome, and willing to research this for you.

Tell him Mike with DTW sent you. He has the best prices I have ever found.

Later

Mike

I have a inferno red SXT with the sports and music gate package with the sunroof. I LOVE this car you can not go wrong with the sound system. My husband is upgrading his sound system in his truck and he brought my car to the audio shop so they can hear this sound system and they can't find a single reason to change a thing to it. It just kills my husband that my car HITS harder than his. The 6 disk changer is great to operate with the steering wheel controls. We have also used my car as the sound system at a party.

Just bought a Caliber SXT this week. Black with the standard interior... Fog lights... Cruise. The stock stereo is quite good for an entry level system. However, since I am a music lover, I would like to upgrade my stereo. Anyone know if it's possible to upgrade to the Musicgate System?

Oops!...Sorry, I just noticed that my question was answered a few posts up. Musicgate is NOT an after-purchase option...I will consider other ways to upgrade, starting with the speakers.

Now another question...those of you with the Musicgate system...does it include speakers in the dash? Just wondering because if I'm going to do my own upgrade I would like to put tweeters in the dash. I know there's none there now, but was curious if there's cut-outs already there for them.

Yes, there are two speakers in the dash, uper left and right hand corners. As for the dash piece, there no cut outs. I'm pretty sure you can buy the dash piece with the speaker openings from your nearest D/C dealer. Hope this gives you a little more insight!

Those are questions you should ask your dealer BEFORE buying! Really, none of the paid options (such as MusicGate, Colored dash/seats, etc.) are available AFTER you purchase. Honestly, if I was a dealer, I wouldn't order ANY Caliber for stock on the lot without the MusicGate. It seems as if nearly everyone wants it and is an option available for any model Caliber.

I'm most likely going to get a Caliber SXT in a few months so I've started looking around at stuff now. I'm into aftermarket stereos and the first thing I would do is replace the stock deck with my new Pioneer DEH-P6800MP but I don't know if this is doable with the Premium Sound System and Soundgate.

If you go to Crutchfield.com and pick your vehicle it will show you what they sell that is compatible with the car. If you choose the stock speaker package they will show a wire harness they sell that will adapt your aftermarket stereo to the car, but if you choose the premium speaker package the wire harness is not displayed. I wonder if it's just not compatible at all because of some wierd proprietary setup or if the wire harness to adapt that sound system just isn't available yet.

I really just want the soundgate :P but the extra speakers and the 8" subwoofer would go well with the dual 10" subs I would put in the car when I got it.

Does anyone know what's going on with the premium setup and aftermarket decks? would really appreciate any info.
