Shortest Thread Ever - Changes to 2013 Routan - NONE

Unless you count changing the digit on the VIN as they ride out the product cycle.

Any changes on the Chrysler/Dodge?

Allpar predicts a new Blu-ray RES system

http://www.allpar.com/cars/chrysler/2013/

Power fold-in exterior mirrors standard on Limited, optional on Touring L
Non-perforated leather will be included in Touring; Touring L gets Limited wheel, but with a painted finish
Standard wheel is 17", up from 16” on some models; all will also get trailer sway dampening and second-row floor mat retainers.
New Blu-Ray player option for rear-seat video, coupled to a new, nine-inch rear video screen. HDMI cables will now be available with at least one of video options, with higher capacity power outlets, for XBox (etc) connectivity.
New "black and Sandstorm" interior color setup will be added.

I suspect that there will be some changes to the 2013 Routan but VW is too lazy to call Chrysler and find out what they might be...or they just plain lost the telephone number.

Challenge to this group will be to find a change and prove the VW press release to be false.

And those are for the Chryco's--I'd bet nothing of that transfers to the Rout.

Yeah I'm guessing the Routan is a lame duck at this point, VW is just waiting out the contract.

I wonder how hard it'd be to retrofit the Blu-ray + HDMI system.

I will find one change to the 2013 Routan, no matter how small, to prove that VW didn't bother checking.

There will be a situation where Chrysler will find it cheaper to use something new that fits the Routan rather than source an older Routan specific part that is more expensive. Kind of like the change to the trip computer display from 2011 to 2012.

AMEN to that
