Good short video. Doing this job myself, a few years ago on our 01 DGC EX. I ran into some issues that I'm sure you guys did too, but failed to mention. Like the inside of the dash has to be modified to fit the double din radio.

[@mpulford311]

Great job guys as always. Keep up the great work. Will always continue to follow and watch your videos. 👍👍👍

[@ronaldremington4241]

I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Ronald Remington Instablaster ;)

[@ronaldremington4241]

@Jeffrey Aryan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

What a caravan with a DVD and rear screen

[@huntergreenm18fan69]

Talk about sacrificing sound quality for the speaker to fit I'm guessing that guy saved some dough with those S-Type coaxials

[@Soulcommander]

Would have liked to have seen how you put the top speakers in the dash. I understand you only have so much time and you don't want the video to be too long. But I was kind of looking forward to that part.

[@stonedgimp]

Hey thanks for doing a video on this! I greatly appreciate it! Would road kill fast rings work in the doors with that limited space? Thanks and have a great day

[@802fishcrew7]

What is your recommendation for a wiring kit for a 2016 dodge grand caravan with steering wheel controls and uconnect?

[@CASPER63074]

😉 still waiting for a Dodge Charger 2016 amplifier installation 😤

[@christopherhunt147]

Does that stereo work with the DVD player? I have a DVD player in mine....... Although I am thinking about removing it....

[@TBownYT]

5 yrs from then 😅😅

[@greezy937]

I got 05 town and country. 6x9 on order as we speak but I'm gonna put a 6x9 box under 3rd row seat. My kids don't like it screaming at them in the 3rd row

[@robsalisbury4217]

Hi, what size is the double din radio that you installed?

[@nrgyzr2012]

My Dodge Grand Caravan has a DVD player in it. Will any wiring harness for my Grand Caravan work for that? Or do I need a specific wiring harness since I have a DVD player? The internet does not have the answer! Do you guys?

[@williamwest8924]

do you no if they make a double den dash kit fo 2003 dodge stratus rt coupe?

[@user-su8yl1sc7z]

Where did you bought the dash for this radio, because is perfect!

[@jesseljam1547]

Where do I find a diagram for the factory stereo wires

[@earlgraves5568]

Where can I get wiring harness for my radio

[@MarvinParnell]

I know this video is a bit old, but do you know of any options for a subwoofer that won't take up much space in the back? I've searched but not really found anything I like. Was hoping someone made a mod that would allow for a sub install in the passenger panel by the rear gate. Great video by the way. I'm going to be doing this but in a Chrysler T&C 2001 with the infinity system so I'll have to see what I need to do about the factory amp. It has an 8 speaker system in it currently that is factory of course.

[@kylematthews1324]

Could you copy and paste the links? I am not having luck finding the set up on amazon 😅

[@joelberger117]

Does the 05-07 Caravan (like the one in the video) provide switched accessory power for the radio? Some of the Amazon reviews for the Metra harness mention needing to run power from elsewhere, but I don't know if that applies to this model since the factory radio has a mechanical power switch.

[@JeffMcNeal]

Yes, it does. I bought the Scosche harness to use with my '05 Grand Caravan and it was perfect.

[@chrispatriot]

I really took notice to the drilled holes because the "center console was jacked up" and it wouldn't align left or right. The rest was pretty much Radio install 101... What I would like to ask though, is just how much extra effort was there in getting that thing to line up properly. We know there is the "edited version" that becomes the video we see, and then the behind camera, 12 new Japanese words version as you attempt to get the "jacked up thing" to actually fit... ;) I am curious if you could elaborate on just how difficult it was to get the thing to actually line up. I saw that throughout the video, you re-put the center piece back up there 3 times, just on the video to try and make sure it was proper. Like you guys, I am a perfectionist! So if I tried to do this and it was even slightly off, it would drive me nuts! Thanks for the great video though, two things I learned from it. A.) Those speakers in the top are um, NOT speakers! LOL And B.) The speakers in the door must be carefully chosen as it will interfere with the window's actual framing structure.

[@jesusserna9774]

Hey so I have kind of the same one but mine is a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan I pluged everything but sound won’t come out and it has a connector but idk if you need those or not and I don’t know where to plug them in can someone help me?

[@user-su8yl1sc7z]

Donde compraste el dash que se ve perfecto para este radio ?

[@Mr511611]

I have a 2015 town & country what do i need for my aftermarket radio to play dvd to rear overhead console?

[@marcelcarp6641]

Necesito una explicación para activar el amplificador original de este coche. Me vuelvo loco. Muchas gracias

[@KhaiMahase]

How big is the radio that you installed?

[@jamesanderson4014]

Is there a double din kit for a 1999 Chrysler Concorde ??? Will be upgrading entire dash to a 2002 300m , Concorde Limited .

[@funkydodo149]

Do you guys still add a Micro Bypass for the handbrake on all Pioneer double DIN installs? I have not seen those micro bypasses lately with your double DIN installs...

[@davidlee2340]

Just ground it to the radio itself I do that alot and it works

[@swaggaariffic]

[@confesorcordero6807]

Need a favor if is ok I have a 1999 Chrysler town and country I want to install a double din radio but I need to know which radio kit to get can you tell me

[@victorcontreras7286]

Dónde consigue ese adactactador

[@hugomontiel5305]

What is the name of the front cover where the stereo goes? Why do I want to adapt to my truck a 7-inch touch screen stereo model of the 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN truck 3.8 Saludos from mexico🤠😊😊

[@JeffMcNeal]

It's called a fascia and it is available on Amazon for about seventy bucks. Metra seems to be the only ones making and selling it for these vehicles.

[@pacohuidobro3162]

Good morning dear. Where can I get that panel or front of the radio. I need it for a 7 inch radius. You sell it?

[@Geerladenlad]

My 94 Dodge caravan dash trim doesn't look like this. Can you help me find a kit that will allow me to install a double din?

[@thomasrowan2724]

I'm running into a problem with the molded plastic inside the space where the radio goes. Stock stereo sits on top of 2 prongs that are in the way of a double din. Do I just have to cut all that out to make it fit?

[@JeffMcNeal]

Yes, cut it out. You can actually break those prongs off with a pair of vice grips, or simply cut out the entire cross brace piece as shown in the Metra instructions. It's made of plastic. I took it out with an angle grinder, but a sawsall would also work, but be mindful of all the wiring in there. Don't wanna cut the wires! There is also one additional pro tip that I can offer, having JUST done this installation myself, yesterday. The video host in this excellent tutorial states that he has to make the holes in the plastic radio mounting bracket wider so you can shove the radio over a little to the left in order to line it up correctly with the opening in the Metra fascia. What he doesn't mention is that there is a little plastic pin on the back side of that left bracket, between the upper and lower radio mounts. REMOVE this pin. Cut it off or file it off. If you leave it in place, it will prevent you from sliding the head unit to the left, because the pin will hit the metal mounting rail on the left side. I had to elongate the mounting holes in the left bracket by about 1/8". Finally, I suggest you remove the factory clips from the original fascia and use those instead of the clips that come with the Metra fascia. The factory clips are beefier and hold better than the Metra clips. Cheers.

[@gnarlynick6038]

Do you guys have a link so i could order the dash kit for my 2007 dodge grand caravan?

[@flspeid]

In this video, I was able to read the part number: 95-6539 from Metra's packaging bag. Try to find it in eBay or Amazon.

[@cheriethevetlady19]

Can you put a single one in n how

[@JeffyPop247]

got a question, got the ddx9903s in my wifes carolla. when I use the steering wheel control to change the station, it only goes up from like 88.1, to 88.3. it doesnt go from programmed station, to the next programmed station. if i hold it down, it used to scan to the next available station.....not anymore. bestbuy isnt being helpful at all. is this stuck as is??

[@seadams74]

To the left of the HD logo at the top of the screen it will say either manual, auto 1 or auto 2. press it until it says auto 2
