Installing Single DIN HD radio in my truck what do I need

Ok so I have radio similar to the one pictured below, I will get the aftermarket to dodge adapter so I don't have to cut the wires the part I'm wondering about is mounting it. Has anyone mounted a radio similar to this in to a Ram.



Is there a 1.5 to 1 din adapter plate that will hold the radio in?

Cant help you with the install, but I have a JVC HD radio in my dodge and you will love it, i live a hour out of town and when you tune in your fav station it starts out on the same old analog static then in a few seconds clicks over to studio quality amazing rich HD audio!

Yes, there is. Any car audio shop will have what you need. I've also seen some adapters in the car stereo section at Walmart.....though the selection is somewhat limited.

Part Number

You need Metra part number Metra 99-6000 for your truck. Have fun, fairly easy if you don't break your bezel getting it off (our trucks have horrible dash board plastics).
