Can anyone point me to where I can purchase a double din dash kit like the one in the photos attached.
Ive tried all the well know places like Best Buy, Crutchfield, Walmart, Amazon, eBay, Scoshe, Metra, etc and so far none of these places have it, nor knew such a kit existed. It has to exist since I’ve seen many photos of it installed.
The kits they all carry eliminate the factory cubby, I want and need to keep it because I use it.
Shane, I went through the stereo head unit search for my 2008 Ram a few years ago. I think to do the set up you are asking about would require you to get the Scosche CR1286B dash kit and cut the "ears" off and glue those in place. For the radio, you need to measure the height of your opening and start searching. The size of the radio is technically a 1.5 DIN, but there are very few radios listed at that size, these are usually classified as double DIN.
It looks like someone added about 1/8 inch or so to the top and bottom of the opening in your picture. You will almost certainly have to do some cutting to get anything larger than single DIN in the factory opening.
I could write a novel on this subject, but will spare you.
