Mtgrooves Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Yeah we do it all the time at my shop because were down the street from the dodge dealer... your going to hate my advise though. Dodge makes a double din dash dezel that is 45 dollars and amp and metra make a kit for it. So my dealer stocks them for us and it makes it a done deal. Quote The Shoe Maker without shoes!

Mtgrooves Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Oh and my bad if it has a factory amp it's located behind the glove box and is held in with 4 10 mm bolts that are a bitch to get out but if you bypass the amp the factory system will sound great. I hate using the CAN 2 bus thing to make the factory amp work so I just bypass it and your all good. But if your doing Navi and back up camera the Pac piece is nice and works really well. It give you a back up wire and VSS so it's handy. Quote The Shoe Maker without shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savoyrocks Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 i went to metra's site, but i didn't see a kit for a dd thanks man. it's not amplified but if you had the wire colors for the amp bypass, they sure would come in handy in the future.
