    There is no easy way to do it with the stock radio, outside of auxiliary units that plug in to the back but those can be expensive. I bought a JVC aftermarket head unit that does Bluetooth AND has front and rear USB imputs (so you can play and charge through your USB charge cord) AND it has a 3.5mm headphone jack input as well, so there are three ways I can play my phone. It was $100 but they don't make that exact model anymore, last I checked the similar one would be a $120-$140 JVC unit. Oh, and it also had multiple color display, so you can set it to any color you want.

    It also came with a microphone that I routed up to the rear view mirror. I can make Bluetooth calls through the car, and the best part is that people hear me well despite the Viper's loud ride!

    Leslie: Mopar once sold a device that you could connect to the back of your radio so you could plug your I-pod/I-phone into. I installed this in my 08. I got it through the Viper Parts of America back in in 2012. It's called an I-pod Interface Kit: Part Number 82209616. It was about $175.00 back then. I'm not so sure they are even available anymore. This is the only thing I ever found that would work with my stock radio. Hope this helps.

    You will probably have to go aftermarket with this one...preferably a new head unit with Bluetooth.

    The Mopar unit that I bought then cancelled was going through the radio. Screw that! I bought a replacement unit (can't remember brand off top). I now rock Pandora loudly!

    Looks like it's a discontinued part. Maybe there's a left over somewhere.

    Thanks guys! I had a feeling I was going to go aftermarket.
    In my charger it was so easy, and I have sirius radio.

    I bought a Kenwood KDC-255U. $200 installed. Didn't look great at first (wasn't stock!!!) but I don't notice anymore.

    there are aftermarket adapters, they kinda work depending on your factory deck. I wanted to go down this route, but for the price of hardware, a new deck makes so much more sense. Also, abandoning the factory amp will give better control of the factory sub which.. isn't so bad if the amp wasn't trying to drive it like it was a 15"
