Rebel4055 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I looked around a bit and was getting mixed searches and wanted to be sure I will be getting the correct one. Now we wanted to replace the stock radio in my moms dodge dakota with a aftermarket one but the issue we are having is that the stock radio has these 2 round pieces, its hard to explain but I think this one would work but not 100% for sure. http://www.amazon.com/Stereo-Install-Dakota-wiring-installation/dp/B000KL2VK6 In that picture you can see it has the 2 rounded areas like I need but still not for sure. Going to take a picture and will update the post. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

bassHZ Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 it doesnt but i guess in these trucks they dont have an acc switch turn on so thats what the harness is for u dont really need it if u know how to wire ur own accessory turn on from like the fuse box etc. thats all it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But another issues comes up LOL! How do I removed this stock radio? Quote Rest In Peace mother.
