Default Is it possible?

I own a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, is it possible to switch out the radio/air center console with the '07 or '08? I really dig the GPS/radio looks and the more modernized air conditioning option, but I love my '02 model. If anyone gets what I'm trying to say, let me know!

Thanks.

anything is possible. it all depends on how much time/money/work you want to put into it. and that seems like its gonna take A LOT of time and money.

You gotta change everything. Find a wrecked one and start changing it over. It will fit but the wiring is another matter. They changed the color codes in 06...

Im being completely serious about this, and I know you are in Cali, call the wreck junk yards in OK and KS, I know of about 30+ Crashes in the past half year of Rams, They part all that out and everything and for CHEAP...

Holy **** I just had to try that out. I just ordered it. I have a double din DVD player from my old car and I was gonna sell it because it wouldn't fit in my truck without hackin it all up...

Got_Hemi44, You would have to change the whole dash to get that, While I agree I like the 06+ dashes better, I like my 05 way to much and It would just cost to much to find and replace the dash and there are to many unknowns.
