Hello, I recently purchased a 2011 Mainstreet trim Avenger. There are a lot of things I want to add or modify on my new baby. I would like to hardwire a radar detector near my rearview mirror, but I am having trouble figuring out where the firewall plug is and how to get access to it. Any guidance or direction on removal of the console and dash would be greatly appreciated as I assume it is somewhere behind the radio. I also want to install a backup camera, and I would like to know if it is possible to run it through the existing oem radio. I have the factory multimedia radio (satellite, DVD, etc) without the uconnect components installed. Once again, any guidance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Hello and welcome to the community from Germany. Glad you’ve joined our party.
There’ll be a few options for modifying your Media system. To get the best results, or the quickest help, Ithink it would be necessary that you describe which stereo you’ve got.
RER REW. There’s a good set that you can buy aftermarket. It’s called lockpick.But I think other users might be more helpful than me.
Post your progress or maybe some pictures of your new family member.
God bless you
Welcome to the Forumz! I hope you and your Avenger have a long and happy time together.
Unfortunately for your 2 questions on those "mods", that I can't offer much, as I have the older Coupe model and don't involve much in those kinds of things. I do suggest you look thru the custom interior and audio pages of the forum, as many have posted of wanting/doing similar..
Just for clarification, I am not trying to get rid if the current radio if it has inputs of some type that I can run a backup camera feed through. I don't think that it does because I can't find any aux input in any of the video settings.
Alternately, does anyone know of a backup camera system that broadcasts to a phone since that is my GPS. I just don't want to keep adding screens as I like the interior of my Avenger without making it look like the Enterprise or the Tardis.

Welcome to The Forum lots and lots of knowledge on here. As Rebel suggested look through the modifications posts you should be able to find something there
Welcome Sknsy71.
In the UK we weren’t lucky enough to get any Avengers after 09 so I’m not sure about how to get into your radio.
looking at pics I’ve seen of the interiors, the radio looks the same as the mk2. If that’s the case, like German Avi says, there is a lockpick you can get which enables up to 4 cameras on your radio screen.
if you were wanting it on your phone screen though, maybe a Bluetooth camera could be an option?
Another alternative m option is a rear view mirror which has a built in reversing camera maybe?
Good luck with whatever your go for. 👍
