Hey guys i thought i would share my latest upgrade. I installed a new Pioneer double din with XM. Im not doing a full write up because there are already a couple good ones on this forum. The only word of advice i do want to add is if you decide to do this to your 05-07 buy the double din mounting kit for the 2010 dakota and it bolts right up with no custom mounting brackets then you just trim your bezel and your good to go. I used body filler to cover the ears from the stock radio and to fit the edges of the HU better. Here are a couple pictures.

The test fit:

The final product:

I am also trying to unload my sub encloser also if anyone is interested. I built it to fit the x-cab 3rd gen dakotas. It fits a single 10" and has room to mount the amp behind it. It is just an encloser nothing else. text 630-997-9847

 

Nice clean work, looks good.

 

Very cool. Like the RAM logo on it. So you put the body filler on and then painted it? Did you use spray paint or...?

 

thanks guys, i sprayed it with plasti-dip. it matches the texture and color of the climate controls perfectly

 

looks very clean man..nice to see you posting again as well

 

Bezel looks very good. What kind of filler did you use to fill in the ears and where can I buy the filler? Who painted it for you?

 

Nice. I really need to do something like this. after you're with a truck for so many years it gets kinda boring. Maybe this would spice things up.

 

What filler did you use to fill in? Thanks Looks nice

 

He used auto body filler.

 

Thank you
