I'm doing a friends 2010 ram. right now I got it ran with the constant 12v and I'm having trouble locating the ignition wire

@TheOllie666 Do you have a volt meter? That is the easiest way to find it.

with the after market radio. dose your radio stations still show in your speedo disply or dose is always read "radio off"?

Thanks for the vid, I'm about to switch out, but I was wondering if the sirius was a seperate unit or integrated in the factory stereo? Seperate plug in for new deck?

@rogerwilco71

I am 99% sure that the tuner is inside the factory radio, and the antenna cable goes straight from the antenna to the radio. So, unless I am wrong, all you would have to do is adapt the cable to a sirius tuner or an aftermarket radio that has a sirius tuner inside it. FYI, do NOT try to plug it into the regular am/fm antenna plug. I have heard that all you have to do is remove the yellow housing around the cable, and it goes right in the aftermarket siruis tuner.

hi, I have a 2001 ram 1500, that also has a 1.5 din, and i like your trim kit install. where can i find that kit like you have , that has the pocket under the radio. I like your instal, nice and clean look.....thanks for the video.

@honerbass

I don't know if you will be able to get a prefab kit with the pocket for your year model, but I purchase all my car electronics through Crutchfield d@t com. They give you free install gear when you purchase a new radio. I have a refer a friend code that will save you $20 off your first $200 purchase through them . Send me an email if you want the code.

did you not have to remove the srews from the cup holders, the screw in the space between the shifter and the cup holders and the shifter?

[PonyRazor]

@trenttyre

Nope, just the 5 screws I mentioned in the video.

Thank you

First off i have been serching for countt less hours trying to find a video that shows this so i would like to start with thank you. Did the harness retain the system info display (compass, trans temp, coolant temp, oil pressure, oil temp) or was that info a sacrifice of having a sweet deck in the car?

[PonyRazor]

@JeffRuno

I didn't notice a difference in the display other than the station you are listening to won't be displayed. I would go check it for you, but I traded the truck in for a 2010 this past weekend. I checked with Pac-Audio and they say you should only loose (if equipped) the U-Connect and Video Entertainment System (VES®).
