Yes. You can do it. There's a guy in Italy that's over on the 300 c forums that did one. Some of the downfalls:
1) mounting tabs are on the top and bottom: not side like our RER's.
2) You would have to get the RHR out of a Sebring...uhhhh...err...I mean 200 as there's is the lowspeed.
3) They are not at all cheap.
The advantages are enhanced voice recognition and streaming bluetooth capabilities.

Besides enhanced voice recognition and streaming Bluetooth capabilities, I would hope that they've worked out some of the software bugs that seem to plague the RER.
That's the biggest complaint that I have with my radio. Some things I've noticed are relatively minor annoyances, such as the EVIC reading something like, "CD 3 - 15" when it is playing HDD track 15 in the Favorites mode, or when people tell me I'm cutting out when I'm talking to them via Bluetooth with full cell phone signal.
But other issues make me wonder when the whole thing is just going to fail. Case in point: Recently as I selected a different artist to play on the HDD, the song list disappeared and the touchscreen quit responding temporarily to any button presses. Once the buttons started working again, I could change from HDD to AM, FM, SAT, CD, or IPOD, but the music I was listening to on the HDD kept playing no matter what mode was selected. The volume control was also non-responsive. When I reselected HDD, the screen was blank except for the Dodge logo on the right hand side, then the music quit entirely. Pressing the power button to put the radio into standby mode did not help. It was only after I parked the car and shut it off that the HDD started working again.
I have also been losing confidence in the quality of the hardware as well, due to the fact that this is actually radio #4 that has been installed since the car was new. Granted, I think the first two radios may have been OK, but two dealerships replaced them while troubleshooting a problem that was ultimately due to a satellite antenna failure. The first radio was replaced when the car had less than 14,000 miles on it. Radio #3 was replaced because it regularly scratched CD's as they were inserted. Now the current radio not only has the issues listed above, but it also skips audio while playing new CD's. I am reluctant to want to have the radio replaced again as I would expect to receive yet another refurbished unit that has it's own set of different problems.
I read automotive magazines on a regular basis and it's apparent that Chrysler's #1 focus for the 2011 model year is to improve quality across the board. I recently received a special edition of AutoWeek that was dedicated to detailing exactly what Chrysler has been doing to improve it's products. Over 4100 improvements and upgrades have been applied to the previous Charger model.
With as many times as I have been in to the dealer for warranty repairs (most of them radio related), I can't help but wish sometimes that I had a 2011 model. I am a Mopar man to my core, but it does worry me sometimes as to how much I could potentially be spending in repair costs once my limited warranty runs out.
