Default Changing stereos in my ram

Im changing the OEM Stereo to a Valor 1 Din Indash dvd. http://www.audiowarehouse.peachhost....PRits-705w.htm,, I cannot find a dash kit to properly fit and hold the new aftermarket player in place because my OEM has the big ***** on the side and all the installation kits i find do not cover them huge holes in the middle of the dash anyone know where i can get one to cover all
thanks

dont get a flip out screen. I have one and it was a mistake. But they do sell dash kits for our trucks, they have little half moons that push in place. mine was $20 but if you have a 06+ you need a computer module that is almost $100 extra

the newer rams run off of a can bus system so it's data wires going into the back of the radio, so you needc an integration harness that converts the data signals into something the aftermarket radio can understand
