I have an 06 ram it has about a hundred thousand miles. This started last week the stock radio just stopped working. The display didn't work and it played no sound. It was acting like it was off with the truck on and running. The time button would still work and I could still get all of my cds out. After about an hour it started working. This has happened about 4 times in the last 5-6 days. Any ideas?

 

mine will do that sometimes too, except that the display works just no sound. i turn the truck off for a few min and it will work again

 

I guess its time for a new one. Can anyone recommend a GOOD replacement! I like having 6 cds sat. radio all in one I would like to also add navigation. Any ideas?

 

Mine was pulling those shenanigans as well...and the engine was cranking slower...and slower...over the course of the last couple of weeks...then the other morning it wouldn't crank at all; I replaced the batteries and so far all is well. The PDC might not be letting the audio system work with a low voltage problem...perhaps we have someone on the forum that knows more about it?

 

That's Weird I just said to a friend this morning that my truck sounded like it was cranking slower and slower each morning. I never even thought to put the slow crank and radio together as batteries.

Mine is dong the same. I get longer cranks sometimes but they are strong. I'm taking mine in tomorrow for this. pcm

 

i would recommend a pioneer Model: AVH-P3200BT. they run about $400-500 so its pretty reasonable for the price and it has all the things you want except the nav. which will add like another $250-300 My brother just put one in his car and its awesome.

 

I put a Kenwood 7140 that works really well.

I have a Nav that came in the truck that works great if you would like to go that direction. $500 shipped.

 

Just to add my two cents for people who find this thread.
Radio worked intermittently, no rhyme or reason. If it came on it stayed on. Could work once a day or every time I started it. Could work all day. Sometimes worked on accessory, but when I started the truck it didn't work.
Replaced the batteries, which were original, and everything is fine now.
Pretty weird.

 

Mine is just dim these days and can barely see the read out...
