factory radio
Today I took my truck in to have the factory radio replaced with another factory radio because it was messed up. They told me that they had to order another new radio because when they installed it my truck would not start. Has anyone every heard of this? I waited 2 weeks for this one to be installed and now I have to wait another 2 weeks for them to get another radio in. The thing that sucks is they put the old one back in but did not hook it up so I have no radio for 2 weeks. I am wonder if they did not order the right one so just made up the story of it not starting once the new one was installed.

how do you do that? it is a 2006 1500 QC. Also any suggestion why the truck would not start when they put the new radio in?

Oh, and no idea why the truck wouldn't start when they put a new radio in. Maybe they forgot to reconnect the negative battery terminal, lol. I keed I keed. Never heard of something like.

there are 2 screws under the dash when you fold down the cupholder for 06 and up and then the dash just pops off and there are 4 screws for the radio and like steven said just plug the radio and antenna back in and you should have some form of radio, haven't heard anything on why your truck wouldn't start though, i've started my truck with no radio in it at all and i have a 07 so can't help there

I think you need to find a different dealership... something is fishy there.

RE: factory radio
Well I tried to hook the radio back up a couple mins ago the truck did not start up. The radio has only has a plug for 2 things the antenna, a big plug-in, and a small plug-in (sorry not sure what they are)I unplugged everything from the radio and itstarted right up. So I plugged in the smaller of the two plastic plugs and the antenna and the truck will start. So I shut the truck off unplug the small plug and antenna then I plug in the big plug-in and the truck does not start. The radio is the six disc with sat radio. I dont think the radio has any anti-theft device in it. Does anyone have any suggestion??
