I just got a new 06 ram big horn 4x4 with the factory 4 speaker single cd sound system. I am wanting to upgrade the Head Unit and the factory speakers. I want to get a new bezel, because I don't like the round cutouts in the new one. I need to know do I need to know where that I can get a new bezel that dosen't have the round cut outs for the *****. any info will be appreciatted.

The only factory bezel is for the navigation system I bought one from dodgeparts.com for cheap . Now I am waiting for my new head unit from crutchfield a Kenwood DPX 501 it should be here friday so this weekend it's going in I will try to post pics of the install . Careful on the speakers you choose for the holes in the front doors are smaller than a 6x9 needs I recomend you take the door panels off and go to your local store and find ones that fit I had to spend 300.00 on Boston LS95 's and they to were a tight fit . See my other post .

thanks for the reply. How much did the navigation bezel cost? I am seriously considering that exact radio (Kenwood) it looks sweet. Can you give me a link the website where you bought your bezel.
I also noticed that the kenwood shows the artist info on sat. radio.


thanks,

2 more questions. What color bezel is that? What color was your original bezel?

Thanks,

It sounds great not as loud as I hoped but I will now start working on an amp install . The new bezel is aluminum color the old one is grey like the rest of the interior . I love the new bezel it adds a touch of class .

they are called "Navigation Installation Kit 2006-2007"
all the different color combinations are listed
