Here's what to consider:
* Dash Kit: You'll need a dash kit specifically designed for a 2006 Dodge Charger to accommodate the double-DIN size of the AVIC-F900BT. This kit will allow the radio to fit flush into the dash opening.
* Wiring Harness: The factory wiring harness in your Charger won't match the Pioneer unit. You'll need a wiring harness adapter to connect the Pioneer's wires to your car's existing wiring for power, speakers, and potentially other features.
* Antenna Adapter: The antenna connector on your Charger is likely different from the Pioneer's. An antenna adapter is necessary to ensure proper radio reception.
* SWC Interface (Optional but Recommended): If you want to retain steering wheel audio controls, you'll need a steering wheel control interface. This is an important feature, making it easier to control volume, change tracks, etc. without taking your hands off the wheel.
* GPS Antenna: The AVIC-F900BT is a navigation unit, so you'll need to mount the GPS antenna appropriately for optimal satellite reception.
* Professional Installation (Recommended): While technically possible to install yourself, this is a moderately complex job involving removing parts of your dashboard, working with car wiring, and potentially dealing with various integration components. Professional installation will ensure it's done correctly and minimize the risk of damaging your car's electrical system.
In short, while it *can* be done, be prepared for the cost of the necessary adapters and the potential cost of professional installation. Research your options thoroughly to find the correct dash kit, wiring harness, and antenna adapter specific to your 2006 Dodge Charger. Checking online forums dedicated to Dodge Chargers might provide additional tips and advice from others who have completed this installation.
