Default 2002 ram 1500 radio install

Have any of you guys installed a in dash flipout dvd player, and if so what install kit did you use? I know I saw some where on here theres a way to make your steering wheel controls work with the new radio any info would be great.

I don't believe that an in-dash DVD player or an aftermarket CD player are any differant in the instal. I am planning on doing this myself, but ditched the factory audio for aftermarket (rockford) within a week. Go to any decent car audio shop (even to Best Buy) and ask for a vehicle specific trim kit. As long as you are not going to be doing any massive remodeling of the dash for a double din player, you should be good. If you are going to be doing any other upgrades (components, amps, etc) do it now if you can afford it. Sucks taking the dash apart and messing with all of the required wires, do it once, MUCH easier, and if you are patient, much cleaner. As for the steering wheel mounted controls... I think Crutchfield has some sort of signal converter, but I believe it is dependent on the brand of head unit you are purchasing.
