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...

Hmm, well, they also have updated steering wheels with the actually chrome ram on it and they had GPS on the '05's right? maybe I can find a crashed '05.

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.
