I'm hearing a rumor that Daimler intends to sell only the management duties of Chrysler while maintaining a 51% ownership. Any truth to that?

[stowaway]

that seems like the worst possible scenario. can't make decisions, but have the most to lose if those decisions/ideas tank.

[hemidakota]

No.....

Next Gen Ram/Dakota is expected to receive the Two-mode variable Hybrid tranny.

Shown above is the first photo of Chrysler's next-generation navigation radio, model RER. The new 6.5" touch-screen model will feature a built-in hard drive with storage for 2000 songs, a front-mounted audio input jack and a USB data port. The radio will premiere in the new 2007 Wrangler, Dodge Nitro, Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger. More vehicles will be added to the list in the 2008 model year.

MyGIG is a revolutionary multimedia infotainment system that integrates radio, navigation, DVD, Bluetooth, USB and satellite radio technologies. The USB port allows uploads of music and photos to the 20 gigabyte hard drive, while the system also will copy files from CDs as they're inserted. Using the Gracenote database, MyGIG will find the artist, track and title for the music.
The auxiliary input jack permits passengers to listen to a portable MP3 player through the vehicle's speakers. MyGIG is a Sirius Satellite Radio player and also includes UConnect? ?the hands-free Bluetooth cellular system. Controlling the system is easy, too. The 6.5-inch touch screen allows easy menu navigation, while the Advanced Voice Dialog System recognizes more than 1,000 words for audio, navigation, entertainment and hands-free mobile phone use.


Navigating traffic also becomes easier using MyGIG's real-time traffic information. Separate audio outputs allow passengers to listen to the car speakers while different audio tracks play through the system's wireless headphones. That means the kids can watch their DVD on the optional rear-seat entertainment system while parents listen to the radio in the front.

who said the unit was from getrag ...maybe getrag is working on a unit that they'd consider using but the original piece(s) have asian roots hence the delays

[NeonDan]

hemi i was merely asking if you have found out anything i havent stirred up, i havent been on the forums as actively as before. Have lots of locals selling out and the side work is dwindling as are the number of owners who are wanting to mod. So i have had to concentrate on my FT job and lurk the forums

No.

They might end up holding on to like 15%, mostly as an arrangement to keep existing shared engineering work going, but they aren't going to keep control and they aren't going to have a huge stake. (Unless they end up keeping the whole thing, which is still a possibility.)

I am one of the contrib's to that site, I need to check on the '09 Viper per the MyGIG radio, being that the 2009 Viper will still be the ZB series they may hold off until 2010 for the updated Bus system.
