I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 with the Infinity sound system. Previous owner installed a cheap aftermarket radio and it sounds horrible. Previous install used a plug and play wire harness that retained the factory amp. I want to replace the radio with a better unit, bypass the factory amp, and retain steering wheel controls. Is there a aftermarket plug and play harness that will accomplish this? Do I need to buy a amp bypass harness and SWC kit separately to do this? The less cutting/splicing I have to do, the better. Surely someone here has done this before. Thanks!
Check on Crutchfiled, If anyone has what you are looking for, they will.
I contacted Crutchfield and that said they didn't have anything that would bypass the amp. According to the Metra website, 70-6514 will bypass the amp, although some other sites selling it does not list my year. I don't know if I get the bypass harness, if I could get a plug and play harness for a truck without the Infinity sound and use it or if the plugs on the Infinity radio are different
