I just got me an 07 that came with just the single disc radio and Im wanting to swap it out for the 6 disc mp3 radio. Doy you guys know if it will just swap out no problem as far as the plug in goes? I ain't sure because I know that alot(if not all) of the 6 disc mp3 radios are in the trucks with infinity speakers and steering wheel controls. Has anybody done this? I want it mainly for the more detailed readout.

Yes they will swap perfectly. I did the same thing within a week of getting the new truck. $130 on Ebay and works perfectly. I also wanted the RDS for the Sirius tuner. I like being able to see what is playing. I also like the mp3 part. I had a DVD mp3 player in my last truck and it just got to be too much.

I just ordered two back to back harnesses so that I can add an aftermarket amplifier and subs and possibly installing the factory uconnect system without cutting into the stock harness.

Hey can you give me info on what to buy, i want to do the exact thing you did.

Which part? I discussed three distinct things here. If you are talking about the radio. Just buy a new radio. I bought the 6 Disc/MP3 (RAQ). There is also a 6 Disc/Cassette (RAK) but I don't know if you need the amplifier or not. Looking at the wiring diagrams in the repair manual, it looks like the amplifier actually wires to the speaker out on the radios, so I would think you could run any of them with out the amp.

I have the standard single cd radio just like you had i believe. Did you have to install a amp or is the radio just plug and play.

what about sirius did that continue to work?

wreedCTD

also what do you search for on ebay for the radio?

thanks!

No amp. just plug and play. Remove the old unit. Replace with new unit. enjoy 6 disc mp3. Sirius works better because you get to see the more info instead of just the channel number. The sirius tuner is a seperate module that you don't even have to think about and it will work with any of the newer factory radios. It just won't work with the aftermarket radios.

Search for "dodge mp3" or "raq" or "rak" or anything like that.

Yes thank you very much thats exactly what I was wanting to hear.

Can someone post a upclose pic of a RAQ radio from a 06?
I just got mine off Ebay and want to see if the buttons are the same, thinking maybe i got a 05 unit?
