do you have pics of your trim job? I really dont want to get woodgrain. Anybody have the pop up screen? It just seems easier to get the pop up screen rather than get a different dash and all that. Only thing im worried about is how the pop up screen will fit in my truck and if it will break on me.

 

what kind of brackets to use?

i know i will need a 1CP581J8AA bezel:

. I started with the small factory dodge radio, and swaped to the nav dash. I will pm you with the parts you would need to install it to look stock.

(OEM part comes in many colors)

This would be everything you need to install an AVIC D or Z in a 2006-2007 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, or 2500 without factory navigation.

 

You need nav bezel and a trim kit. https://www.dodgeparts.com/product_i...0da95fa4c5555e

what did you pay for the bezel? the ebay for $52 + S&H is cheapest i have found.

crutchfield included the can bus adapter for $39 (regular 70)
that should control the power properly

 

The Metra install kit has ears that line up with factory holes in the dash that are there for the install of double din units. So it bolts right in with a couple of (4) course thread screws.

 

I dont know why dodge in there 06-07 models didnt make the radio double din but I had to do some triming to get it to fit and it went in real nice



as you can see at the bottom where I made the cut of that little piece of plasitc and I used elbow bracketts to hold the radio in place as you can see where the volume *** was at......later ill go in and fill that hole with a piece of plastic from a single din kit or something......

 

Nice! I wan't one now.

 

Or instead of filling it you could get a dash from a truck with NAV and cut that bigger. You'd lose the little cubby though. i think

 

I think the dash with the NAV is too big and noone makes kits to make it fit.... well at least all the places that I went to go check but I know the dash with the NAV the screen is alot bigger than double din

 

check this thread out. He has a double din if I remember right. you could PM him and ask about the dash bezel.

I have the pioneer D3. I ordered the factory nav bezel and the Tetra install kit to reduce the opening. I also used the periphial harness adapter from cruchfield to hook up the VSS and reverse signal wires. I willtry to post some pics later.

 

I put in a kenwood 8019. I ordered a nav bezel off ebay for like $70. Dodge wanted over $200 I think.

 

You can get the bezel from a dealership and the dash kit from Metra. The bezel cost me $90 and the Metra kit cost about $20.

 

oh ok cool yeah because when I went to the places that sell kits here they told me one wasent made for a ram....... but i just saw a kit online right now, it was no wonder I decided to install my own audio system in haha.

thanks guys

 

The $90 bezel from the dealer and an install kit from Crutchfield...
