Chrysler 300 hire car

[theboyfold]

We are hiring one of the aforementioned Chrysler 300s in the US in a couple of weeks time. As we will be spending loads of time in the car we're trying to work out what sort of stereo it has.

Will we need to load up on eleventy million CDs for the longer drives or will we be able to use an iPod in one way or another? I've had a look on the website, but I'm struggling to see an interior image of a poverty spec one...

Does it have Sirius radio? If so you will have hundreds of stations to choose from including some BBC stations.

I'm not sure! I didn't book it. Although I've just seen this on the website which suggests I'll just need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, which I have somewhere.

IIRC the 3.5 to 3.5mm will do.

Had one of these back in 05 in Florida and im 99% certain thats what it had.

Why don't you just give them a call?

I didn't book it, so I'm not sure who it was hired through. Plus sometimes it's just quicker and easier here!

Oooo, something I can help with!! I had a 300C Hemi in September. Came with Sirrus radio, therefore could listen to BBC R1/R2 etc.

Regarding iPod/iPhone connectivity, it had USB and Aux in however I couldn't get it to work through USB. Aux in was fine.

Had a pretty decent stereo too! Oh, and they do fantastic burnouts!

Thanks I doubt we have the Hemi though

You may not even get one. I ordered a Charger but they were desperate to fob me off with an "alternative" though being nice did net me the "last one - just come in".

Of course, this could happen, but I think it was listed as a 300 on the paperwork. We shall see though. I'm pretty sure if I take the right cables I should be ok with the iPod. (There is a specific reason we need to take some music with us, although I'm sure we should have plenty of choice if we have Sirius)

Mine was listed as a Charger on the paperwork too. there will always be sall print allowing a substitution save on special models like the Corvette or Mustang.

Fingers crossed they only have bigger and better cars left! I've only had that happen to me once though...

Cheers h0b0, some interesting stuff there. Cabin space is key as we will be doing lots of driving Houston --> Baton Rouge --> New Orleans --> Dallas --> San Antonio --> Houston!

So a comfy mile muncher is what we are after more than luggage space.

Will have a chat with the staff at the desk to see if there are any decent deals going, but I think we have the right car.

ETA: Just checked how many miles we've let ourselves in for! http://tinyurl.com/2v74tem 1352
