Here is a step by step double din stereo install on my 2001 Dodge Ram using the Metra installation kit. There is a fair amount of cutting required with this installation, but overall the installation with this kit is fairly simple, especially when compared to the alternatives such as fibreglass or bondo. I highly recommend the Metra kit if you're looking to upgrade to a double din unit in your second gen Ram. See links below for the kit and the stereo I purchased. Let me know what you thought of the video and whether there is any other videos you'd like to see of my Cummins. Cheers!

Just used this vid to help me swap mine out. This 2nd Gen is making progress! Thank you man!

@christopherjamesb7751 Год назад

I have this same bezel kit and ran into the same top side issue. (Although I do have to trim my bottom side as my head is a true double din) Thank you for showing that it is "safe" to trim the top. This will work out well in my '01 Sport. Enjoy your tunes!

@oldschool9622 2 года назад

Great video, thank you. Looks like a nice blanket of snow in the background. I have a question regarding the tilting issue of headunit and topside interior dash clearance. Could you've used the upper two slots on the mounting bracket (@6:31 in video) to negate trimming the inside dash or in doing so would that comprise the exterior trim plates function?

@whenyoudo 4 года назад

Whats the wiring harness? Like could you show me a link cause its not the factory wiring. I have a 2001 and this is my first time putting in an after market radio. Yours just hooked right up though since you had an after market to begin with im pretty sure

@whenyoudo 4 года назад

Sorry if thats a stupid question lol

@Bryce_Cardinal 4 года назад

So you’ll need two wiring harnesses. One comes with the Metra kit, which there’s an eBay link in the description, and the other comes with the new stereo you bought. Using the wiring colour guide that comes with the Metra harness, and the wiring colour guide that is in the stereo user manual, you’ll splice the two harnesses together. Then it’s just plug and play from there.

@coronaxj5599 9 месяцев назад

Do the steering wheel controls work for you? How did you connect it? do you need canbus things?

@Bryce_Cardinal 8 месяцев назад

Yes the steering wheel controls worked. You just have to connect the wire from the steering wheels controls, which will be in there from factory, to the new wiring harness.

@@azrielchavez7662 you're welcome and if you're meaning the hole on the kit, least on my 1997, my cigarette lighter would go there since where I would need to cut would cut into where its housing is. So would be the only thing I could think of on it.

I would just double and triple check that you have all the proper connections in your wiring harness. Play around with the audio settings of the new pioneer unit. If nothing helps then I would return the unit and get another one, you may just have a lemon.
