My radio quit working a week ago, and before I spend 500 bucks I want to remove it and check it out. According to the garage I should be able to pop it out with a couple of screwdrivers but it's not working. HELP!!!!

 

What year is your Ram???? And what kind of stereo are we talking about?????

 

im replacing the stereo in my '02 and have a complete set of instructions with pictures and everything, id be glad to try to get it up on here for u, but it all depends on your year. plus i would spend $500 on getting it fixed when u can get brand new alpine head unit for $100-200

 

I ran into the same problem with my '04 Hemi. The ashtray needs to be removed first, so the panel can come off. If its a stock radio, thereonly two screws holding it in. Good Luck.

 

I didn't have to remove anything, just make sure the ashtray and drink holder are open. One screw behind the little hook thing, a coupla firm tugs and pop goes the weasel. Hell, I didn't even disconnect the wires, just let it set down a little and pulled the 4 bolts.

 

I did the same thing when I had my o4 ram. The only thing is to check your antenna wire.I had to get an adaptor so that it would work in my aftermarket radio. And of course the wiring harness..

 

i have an 02 that i'm trying to get the radio out of. sure could use some advise on how to remove it,

 

Same thing. If you download the 03 manual from www.hemitruckclub.com it'll tell you in great detail.

 

Any advice on removing the OEM radio from a 2008 Ram 1550 (laramie)? Allegedly this radio is "satellite radio ready" and by all acount (according XM/Sirius) there shoudl be a "mini-tuner" with an accompanying "SIMM" typer card. BY removing and rei-nstalling this card, my radio should be able to get tuned to channel 1, allowing it to receive a re-activation signal from XM/Sirius radio.

I am having a difficult time accessing the radio. How to I removing the face plate on the dash to access the radio? Are the screws under the center concole cup holders? Or elsewhere? Do I need any special tools remove any of the panels? Thanks

 

i have the 04 ram hemi with Infinity Audio trying to put in a Alpine but i have no sound only 2 wires i have not used off the alpine is power antenna and audio interrupt. every thing matches up and all tested with oms meter any thoughts?
