HI all, my 2012 SRT8 (4000 miles) came (from Hawaii) with an aftermarket stereo, which I don't care for. It's an Alpine IVA-NAV-20, 2 PDX-M12 Amps and 2 Alpine subwoofers. It seems to have all the proper cable attachments, etc.
I have no documentation for the stereo, who the installer was, etc.
My problems are:
Tho' I'm a bit of an audiophile, when I'm driving I prefer to listen to the stereo pipes :spineyes:at the rear of this great car. If I want media sound, I listen to some AM stations and a few FMs. I can play all my Itunes music from a USB Zipdrive. I want a built in NAV. I don't need the extra power of auxiliary amps or speakers to play music that I cannot appreciate while driving anyway.
Has anyone removed/swapped for stock, OR is anyone interested in a swap for these units? I could use some suggestions. I'm going to a local stereo shop to seek some advice.
Thanks everyone!

My problems are:
- Whining noise when the unit is on, especially at low rpms. Mirror microphone is not used, an Alpine one is clipped to the headliner for bluetooth. Extra 'antennae' are mounted on the front of the dash.
- Plays only 1 FM station, period.
- Does not display time when unit is off, so there is no digital clock unless the unit is on and whines.
- Nav. system is 'ok'
- Main display controls are unavailable due to incomplete installation, amps and speakers impinge on my trunk space by raising the deck, and my inflation kit is missing.
