Default Aftermarket Bluetooth 2007 Dakota

Okay, I've searched around a bit and couldn't come up with anything. What I have found is that it is kind of a pain to get an aftermarket head unit into a 2007 Dakota. I like to keep things clean, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any products out there that would give the stock radio the ability to at the very least let me play music/audiobooks from my android to the stock radio via Bluetooth. Currently I'm using the front aux input, but I don't like all the wires all over the place. Anyone have any ideas on this one?

Thanks

Well, I was looking for something a little more hidden, that wires directly into the stock head unit.

There are no wires on that and it does not wire into the head unit. It plugs into the 12 volt accessory outlet.

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. I guess I was looking for something to tap into the head unit and hide behind the console. I don't like messing with FM frequencies if I'm traveling and start getting interference. It would also be nice to have something that comes on with the truck and turns off with the truck.

I like my Kenwood. Mine came integral to the radio along with backup camera option.


Find what you like on Crutchfield then shop around for a better price.

Is your kenwood a double din? I can't find a double din bezel for an aftermarket on the 07 Dakota. That is the way I'd like to go.

You can fit a double din, but you have to modify the dash bezel. I did it in my 2005. You can also get a single DIN adapter for the 2005-7 and use a single DIN unit with BT, and pull a mic wire up the A piller and locate the mic near the sun visor mount
