I’ve been wanting to upgrade my dad’s 04 Dakota and this is perfect!!!

[@figsoutside1981]

Thanks. Thanks for watching and Hope it goes smoothly for you.

[@AlexMartinez-uq2ye]

I recently purchased an 02 ram, and this video gave me some hope. Thanks.

[@figsoutside1981]

Awesome, glad to be of assistance. Thanks for watching.

[@jimmyrivano3477]

GREAT CONTENT. FYI, here's a tip. When filming, you should shoot in a horizontal position, this will alleviate the blocks on each side of the video and will be full screen.

[@figsoutside1981]

@Jimmy Rivano Thanks, was having trouble with the editing app and it wouldn’t work horizontally. Would make the vid like 1/4 screen. Thanks for watching and the compliment.

Been wanting to do this to my 03 Dakota. Nice walk through sir. I'm saving it for when I do mine.

[@figsoutside1981]

Awesome, thanks for the compliment and for watching. Much appreciated.

[@ohgeechuck13]

Most helpful vid on that install that I've seen

[@figsoutside1981]

Thank You and thanks for watching. Appreciated.

[@mikesanders9079]

Good job with the video. Much appreciated. I have a new double din Kenwood Excelon stereo on the way from Crutchfield and will be putting it in sometime over the next couple weeks. I was concerned about the dash modifications but it doesn't look too bad. Oscillating tool was a good idea. Looking forward to using the new stereo not only for music, but for the backup camera and navigation apps as well. I'm replacing a Pioneer single DIN that I put in several years back. It still works great but I really wanted a larger screen after driving some newer vehicles that have them. Another great mod for me was upgrading the door speakers. I bought Kickers and they are awesome for the money. I'm currently running an inexpensive license plate backup cam that is wired to an Edge gauge set. It sorta works but the screen is too small and grainy. Anxious to see it on the big screen.

[@figsoutside1981]

Thanks for the Compliment! Much appreciated. I was concerned about the dash mod as well, but it’s very easy. I’ve been thinking of some new door speakers as well, so thanks for the advice on the brand! Thanks for watching

[@JoeSanchez8720]

what backup camera would you recommend. I'm shopping around now. I bought a Excelon 907 and wanting to install it and the camera

[@reneramos4346]

Would have been awesome if you went over the wiring. It’s not just connecting the colors together and all done. You may as well just showed a before and after.

[@figsoutside1981]

Actually, on My Dodge, it was just simply connecting the colors together and there were a couple that had lines on them, but they connected to the same color wire with a line on it as well. Thanks for watching.

[@figsoutside1981]

It should. Mine is still holding strong even after getting bouncer and jarred around in the mountains week after week.

[@billybobbarker3175]

Dude. Good video. Well done thanks. What is the largest screen we can get into these older Rams?

[@figsoutside1981]

Thank you for the compliment. I’m going to say this head unit is probably pretty dang close as to what will work. But I imagine as long as they make the front to fit and the unit will fit in the modified cubby, they could make something with a larger screen that will work..?

[@noidontthinksolol]

you`re supposed to "melt" the panel studs to install it, hot glue will probably fail sooner or later.

[@gordonwardhaugh8266]

Try Krazy Glue and baking soda for a more permanent fix

[@SderrtyD]

Literally proceeds to not film the only difficult part.

[@figsoutside1981]

Mine was overly simple if you’re talking about the wiring. Match red to red, purple with black line to purple with black line and so forth.

[@kingofreels3248]

Bro really thought we wouldn’t hear that fart at 4:34

[@figsoutside1981]

Lol, even if I did slip one out, I’d have other issues if it came out sounding like it thumping a plastic bag🤔.

[@kingofreels3248]

@@figsoutside1981 bahahahaha

[@gochnour]

Hahaha. Even had a pause to push it out.

[@Later2u]

Nice abbreviated install. Did you have to cut the plastic on the top of the opening to get the radio to fit square to the front? Also, the rubber floor mats look underwhelming. Husky makes some floor mats that fit like a glove for these trucks.

[@figsoutside1981]

Nope, didn’t have to cut any other piece. Thanks for the comment. Yeah, think I bought those floor mats in ‘07. Hahaha. I think they might even be old husky’s. Before they got into the molded mats. I should probably upgrade. Thanks for watching

[@cory8791]

Great install! Have you had any time to scout the new area?

[@figsoutside1981]

@cory8791 just a little bit the last time we went up there to take more stuff. I have a couple Awesome neighbors and one that took us around the area. It’s getting extremely hard to come back with each trip. Lol… can’t wait. So much more opportunities and less ridiculous laws.

[@dakotalarimer508]

Did you wire in your steering wheel controls I would like to do this with my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

[@leo959]

I wonder if you can use like a cordless ryobi solder to cut out the deck.

[@iamgood5544]

You probably could but I don't know how bad the plastic fumes would be, you could probably also do it with a Dremel cutoff wheel

[@dakotalarimer508]

Where did you get the wire harness that clips right in with the old harness? pls lmk!

[@jimmywarden6320]

Can you use a hands free for the phone on it

Yes, although I haven’t used it except once.

What antenna adapter did you use? I’m using a universal adapter and none of them fit, is there a trick to it?

I did not use the adapter.

[@damianwilliams2671]

Do you think any double din will fit? Thanks

[@figsoutside1981]

Sorry man, not sure on that one. Maybe if you check out the dimension specs on this one and then compare to others?

[@PACKERMAN2077]

I have a 2002 Dakota with the same head unit and air conditioner controls and I thought it was a single din for the longest time until I saw someone else take theirs out and apparently it's a din and a 1/2 even though it looks like a double din, Do you have any measurements you can give me?

[@figsoutside1981]

@PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS sorry to reply so late, dimensions of the head unit or what’s under the cover piece? I believe most are actually din and 1/2. I’m pretty sure that’s what mine was too.

[@PACKERMAN2077]

@@figsoutside1981 Yeah I was curious of the actual dimensions of the unit itself like as far as depth and all of that

[@CarlosTorres-yc1ly]

Do any double din radios fit that are 6.2 inches? I’m looking for a radio that has apple CarPlay but I’m afraid it won’t fit on the double don install kit.

[@figsoutside1981]

I’m pretty sure they will as long as the measurements match.

[@dakotalarimer508]

And does this work with the old infinity stock speakers and radio wiring etc?

[@figsoutside1981]

@Dakota Larimer Yes, it works just fine. The Plug adapter came with the Dash kit and is color coded with very small labeling for what the wires connect too. I am not a stereo install wiring guy and it was very easy. I just connected the wires that were there. I don’t have any audio controls on my steering wheel.

[@ebk.bagchaser610]

What speakers are you running on? Stocks or aftermarket

[@figsoutside1981]

Just running the ol stockers.

[@jeonperson9554]

Did you have to connect the parking brake wire into the harness. will the radio work when not parked without it connected?

[@figsoutside1981]

@jeon person To be honest, I’m not sure/don’t remember. I just hooked up whatever wires that were there. I don’t have any issues when parked or not. Sorry couldn’t help more.

There’s also a fuse in the fuse box I believe. Dang, I don’t remember if there’s a ground wire off the harness, but there should be.
