Questions & Answers
In my 2007 Ram 2500, I used it to install a double din Pioneer. It worked flawlessly.
The standard double din opening on all of our kits is 6 inches. 83" x 3" is the size of the painting. If your radio is bigger than 95", you'll need to adjust the opening. Keep in mind that doing so will void the kit's warranty.
Yes, if your bezel is designed for a double din.
I don't recall the year, but they said it would fit my RAM from 2010, and it didn't. sorry

Observe the instructions - My review is solely for the purpose of providing you with useful information! br>br>The dash has the standard radio with the half moonsbr>br>I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel. Dash kits are not standard on these trucks. When trying to decide which one to get, it was very confusing! This is the only one I bought because another review included a picture and useful information. br>br>This kit works fine, but there are a few things to keep in mind. It will be necessary to cut the factory panel. This is a piece of cake if you have a dremel or a controllable cutting disk. Simply cut the piece that separates the stock radio from the storage compartment from your factory panel. After that, on both sides of the unit (where the half moons are), cut off 1/8 inch. All of this is also stated in the manual. Then there's the face-to-face. br>br> The plate clicks into place. To make a perfect cut, you should take your time and measure. If you cut off too much, you'll end up spending money on replacement panels. br>br>Another thing to keep in mind is that the stock radio lacks a switched source! I had this problem, and I had everything wired up, but the radio would not turn on. Nothing has changed despite the fact that the circuits have been rewired. This was brought to my attention as a result of an Amazon review of another product. To get the 12v switched source, I plugged into the cigarette lighter. The radio began to play after this was completed. br>br>I've attached a picture. br>br>Take your time and measure once more. The right tools will make this simple, while the wrong tool will almost certainly ruin the dash panel. Remember: it's made of plastic!.
A fantastic alternative to the more costly alternatives. To be honest, if you spend upwards of $200 on a factory "double din" or "nav" spaced center dash cover just to upgrade from a single din to a double sized stereo, you've got more money than sense. This component has a great appearance and is easy to install. It'll go even faster if you have a dremel. br>br>I had it up and running in less than an hour, and I even did a dry run without wiring to make sure everything was in place. Any reviews that claim they "broke pieces" or "it looks terrible and doesn't line up" were most likely done incorrectly and contributed to the problems. br>br>Easy peasy peasy peasy peasy peasy peasy peasy peasy And it appears to be tidy. Done. br>br>Depending on the stereo you install, a SLIGHT space may be left on top or bottom, but it won't be noticeable. If you're a perfectionist or can see any lighting/etc through it, a small piece of abs sheet will slide in and hide it. I won't even try. With my Pioneer radio, it looks fantastic.
I have a 2006 Ram 3500 that I would like to sell. I've seen people use a file to trim out the dash area, but if you have a multi tool (oscillating saw), that's what I'd do. It only takes a minute and a half. Many people inquire about this, and the answer is that the round parts in the dash where the old tuner and volume knobs used to be are covered up. As I stated in the heading. You'll have to be patient adjusting the new stereo to the proper position with the side mounts unless there was an obvious way to have it pre-adjusted. However, once it's in place, it looks fantastic.
In my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500, I used it to install a double din stereo. It was simple to set up and it works perfectly. It doesn't quite match because I have a wood laminate interior and this sits on top of that, but it does look good. You'll have to cut a section of the dashboard (the sides of the stereo and the piece that sits between the stereo and the storage) and lose the storage beneath the existing stereo if you use this method.

Double- The DIN standard specifies a width of 180mm, or slightly more than 7 inches. This piece has a six-minute opening. 75 inches, which is a quarter-inch too short for any double-decker bus. I'm not aware of any DIN (where did they get photos of it installed? Is it possible to get a double-sided radio? Isn't that 3/8 of an inch less than the specification? This isn't something I made up - As you can see in the photos, it's 6 and 3/4 inches wide, when it should be AT LEAST 7 inches wide, and technically a fraction wider than 7 inches to meet the 180mm spec. br>br>I'm really upset about this, and I'm not able to return it because I waited too long between receiving it and having a free weekend to work on installing the radio in the truck. The only thing I like about it is that it was only $16, so I didn't waste a lot of money on it, and that I was able to test fit it to the radio BEFORE sawing up the bezel on the truck (which is part of the installation instructions). Otherwise, I despise every aspect of it. EDIT (due to Amazon's prohibition on external links): If you look up "double din spec," you'll see that it's 180mm wide. br>br>For more information, please see the photos attached.
To fit a normal size double din, it had to be trimmed down with a Dremel; it worked, but what was the point? I needed a good bezel to cover the areas that had been modified, and thankfully, my double din radio had one.
It works perfectly, and it came with detailed instructions on how to remove the dash and where to trim the plastic on the dash bezel. I've had no issues with it on a 2007 Dodge 2500. With this dash kit, you'll have to trim the plastic away with a dremel or saw, and you'll lose the pocket beneath the radio. Apart from that, everything was great. The black plastic is a little cheap looking, which is why it received 4 stars.
