Hi everyone.

New to the forum & new to Dodge per se. I got an '05 Quad Cab 4x4 this Tuesday... and I'm still trying to figure out something simple. Where can I tap into the electric system to wire the power for a Sirius radio without having to take out the whole dashboard?

I tried removing the lighter socket cable but the space is damn cramped and I don't even know if that's a connector at all. Of course I'd like the power on the radio to go off when I turn the key off as well.

Thanks for all the help. I know I'm asking a lot but if you had a photo or two it'd be even better.

 

The radio/climate control bezel is easily removed. Its just 2 screws on the bottom and then pull the entire thing out. The bezel uses pressure clips so give it a good tug. You can access your power point socket wires and any power you want that is used for the radio too. I actually used the power point wires to hard wire my gps in... It would only take you like 1 min to pop everything off. Good luck!

 

thank you. I'll try that this afternoon. if I don't screw up I'll post some photos as well. am I right or there's no such intervention documented on this forum yet?
