2nd Gen old dash Double din???

[03 Rammer]

Anyone know of some being done and where I could find some pics. Have a 1996 and looking to install a double din in it. Thanks.

I would check with Weedahoe (TrickedOutDodgeRam on FB). I know he does 3rd Gen's, not sure about 2nd's though.

I think youre gonna end up having to cut your dash out...that's if it isnt all busted up already in there. I remember when I pulled mine out, i didnt think there was much room in there for a DD HU.

It's gonna be a big job to put a DD in our older trucks. You'd basically have to make an entire custom dash to fit it since the cup holders would have to be removed and filled in.

I've seen it done with the 99-01 dash but there's a little more room to work with behind there

Here is a pic of my dash when I installed my mechless HU. Just to give you an ideal what sites behind the bezel.

Its for my buddies show truck. He said he knows a guy that all he has to do is cut the bezel and nothing else and the DD will fit with out any issues. Him and I have looked everywhere and cant find anyone with the same style dash and a DD. I guess we will just have to trust his buddy to do what he says he can do. He is getting a Pioneer 4400 with back up camera and all the goodies. Only 420 brand new.

I've been considering the 4300 but saw that the 4400 was coming out, and I've decided that's probably the route I will take. Where is he getting the 4400 with camera and goodies for $420?

Its hard to commit to by when they add new features and drop in price every 6 months. I think im stuck on this
http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_27075_Alpine_INA-W900BT.aspx

it has already dropped 200.00

[4XLGator]

Yeah, there are so many to choose from. I decided to shop solely on features, which ones are a must have and which ones would be nice to have.

Lee, My buddy has a friend that runs a audio shop and getting him the radio at his cost. For my truck I'm trying to figure out what to do for a back up camera. I'm sorta stuck. I found some cheaper pioneer DD for like 369 but then will have to get Mike aka weedahoe to do me a bezel but I still want my wood trim and that's 120+ just for the bezel. But then I would have a double din and reverse back up camera. Other option is a reverse camera rear view mirror but they are the price of a DD. So I think I might just go with another one with a separate screen and put it on my sun visor.

I'm not sure when my buddy going to do the DD install but I will make sure he gets me some pics.

It's nice to have connections. The 4400 is a brand new HU just released within the last couple weeks. I'm not sure when you spoke with Weedahoe last but he recently (within the last month) told me his bezels were $175 up + my bezel. I can buy from eBay or Amazon for around $100, but I hear he Weed's are so precisely made that you don't need a trim kit like the store bought bezels. I guess i will find all this out in due time.

Say what! 175 now Gosh!

What bezels can you buy for 100 on ebay? The dash bezel or the mounting kit bezel.

[4XLGator]

Yeah, that's what he told me about a month ago.

I would just do a search on eBay or Amazon. And I don't know if that includes your year for that price as I just searched for my year.

Oh yeah yours is the newer dash we sell those once and while here at work. I know the ones you are talking about.

[4XLGator]

Yeah, my dash is different than yours. You mind PM'ing me a quote on one for my truck? It's a '06 Laramie with simulated wood grain.

Do you know your trim code ex) D5,J3 etc if not shoot me the last 8 of your VIN

[03 Rammer]

I have wood trim slate grey one instock 103.33 out the door

[03 Rammer]

Wood with silver dash instock for 74.04 out the door. Just depends on if you want wood trim and what the color of your dash is.

[4XLGator]

I know I have wood, and I believe silver. I will verify trim code and let you know. Thanks bud.

I've thought about getting rid of the wood from time to time but just not sure I want to.
