So on my 06 ram if I want the double din head unit (aftermarket) if i buy the DoubleDin bezel and the dash instal kit thats all i need? no cutting n sanding?

 

Correct - i ordered my double din dash replacement from ebay for about $100. it should be available in silver or woodgrain. I removed the lighter and mounted a 12v outlet in place. Same plugs.

Then you can use the double din radio mounting kit to mount the radio. This can also be found on ebay but i got mine from the installer. Post some picks when your done.

 

will do. now on the instal pics says some plastic had to be cut for HU to fit. will i have to do that to?

 

Bumping this thread cause mine is a work in progress!

My issue right now is getting the HU angle to match my bezel angle I cut the top plastic like it was done above but I'm guessing I need to cut more and even the bottom plastic but I really don't want to cut the bottom piece.

 

No offense but it looks like you alread have cut it wrong and thus ruined the bezel. Really need a LOT beeter pic though.

 

Well I can get the HU to fit perfect to the bezel with it off the truck but I can't seem to get the whole thing back on the dash with it attached. The way is sits now is with the HU already installed and then putting the bezel on over it. I got the bezel made from a shop on ebay so I figure it should work since they've done it before.

 

what shop on ebay. Arent but two that i know of and im one of them and cheaper so now im interested on who you got it from.

 

weedahoe do you have a bezel for a 01 durango

 

I dont keep any of those core stock 2nd Gen Durango bezels because 1) they are so big and 2) not that many people want an older bezel done. I do more 3rd Gens though.

However, to answer your question, i dont have one but can do one for you if you send me one.

 

Another thing for Ostranza, the way i do mine, you only need to cut the top piece of the radio cavity. Also, ive been doing this for a few years now and i know there are some guys trying to follow my lead. Now i cant stop people from copying what i do but here is something important you need to know

When i do my local installs i use hurricane strap to mount my units to the dash. While plastic welding or molding a kit to the bezel sounds good, in my opinion it is a big risk if a thief gets in the ride. When i mount the units to the dash I also use security screws and this makes them almost impossible to get out as a common thief doesnt carry security bits with him. If you mount the unit to the bezel, then all a thief has to do is ****** the bezel off and the radio with it. Thats no good.
