Default In dash Navigation Installation 2005 Dakota

Started the install of an in dash navigation Kenwood 893s. Removed bezel and shipped to Mike at Cosmic Creations to modify. Have cut out opening where original radio was so the nav will fit. Have installed the backup camera up to dash. Has anyone installed a double din nav that may give some advise?

Default Great pictures of double din navigation install

Thank you for the reply. I'm using weedahoe (Cosmic Creations) to built bezel. His bezels are the best looking and most factory look.

Default Michael Paustian Cosmic Creations

Does anyone know how to get in touch with Weedahoe Michael Paustian (A Site Moderator here on Dodge Firum) with Cosmic Creations in Albany Ga. I sent him 225.00 and the bezel out of my 2005 Dakota to modify it for double din navigation and I haven't heard from him. I shipped him my bezel October 26, 2015. I have proof of delivery as an attachment below. I paid him by pay pal 225.00. Any help would be appreciated so I can install my navigation. His phone number 1 (678) 561-2056. I know his Mom died but havent heard from him since then. No excuse to rip me off over 300.00. I have left Weedahoe messages on his phone and PM him and Weedahoe won't call me back.
Thanks Ralph

I recieved my new bezel. So Weedahoe a member right here on the forum has my old bezel and $225.00 i sent him via PayPal. Weedahoe will not responded to my PM or phone calls so I guess I out the $225.00 I sent him and he has my bezel. So now I'm goint to do what I paid Weedahoe to do and that is make a new bezel for my navigation. Can anyone advise me how to cut the plastic bezel. That is my next step. Thanks for your help
