Fantastic! Thanks! You just taught a 65 year old lady how to do this, although all I want is to retrieve my cd's stuck in my player and get it working again. Good job one handed! Now I have to make my hubby watch this. The original stereo I thought is great. I hope it still works after we do this!

Great video on how to remove and reinstall the dashboard cowl. One caveat ... if your Dakota only has 2 doors, then there will be a passenger airbag on/off switch in the cowl. I recommend disconnecting the battery and turning the headlights on to discharge any capacitors before disconnecting or reconnecting the airbag switch.

@designertjp-utube 2 жыл бұрын

Dang. That's the situation I'm facing with my 2004 Two-Door Regular Cab Dodge Dakota. I will disconnect the battery and leave the headlights on, but wondered if I could simply leave the AirBag switch connected and simply "roll my radio/instrument panel over" (towards me) in that area on the right. Was nervous the AirBags would suddenly deploy if plugged back in the switch connector.

@TonyTheTruckGuy 6 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately you normally don’t pick up a lot of bass with just speakers and a radio, generally you need at least an amp to notice much of a difference but you will notice some different over stock. I haven’t replaced too many speakers but I’ve installed a set of Alpine and a set of Pioneer, they didn’t seem to have much punch. I’d try like some Sony xplode or kenwood, maybe Rockford punch.

If you have a black wire to connect it to, then connect it to that. If the vehicle harness side has no black wire then you need to ground the deck harness side black wire to something metal.

@TonyTheTruckGuy 8 жыл бұрын

+connor hourie as long as all the yellows are together and all the reds and all the blacks you should be fine. As far as running power, the easiest way is to buy a kit from Kicker or something that has an inline fuse holder and then connect that to your positive battery terminal and you can usually find a place in the firewall on the drivers side where there's either an existing hole or a rubber grommet you could poke a hole through and run the cable in down by your feet then pull the plastic floor edging up and run the cable under that to where ever you have the subs. The floor method is also a good way to run the signal wire from your deck to your amp. As far as a ground just run one from the amp to a rear seat bolt or something along those lines as long as it's a good, clean ground.

J R - First thing I would do is unplug the radio to rule out any issues from the install. If you're still having issues, I'd venture to guess your headlight relay or headlight switch went out. It's a smaller possibility but the turn signal switch could potentially be causing that issue as well, since the high beams run through it and it's technically a "multi-function" switch.

What about the purple with yellow stripe wire???

@TonyTheTruckGuy 4 жыл бұрын

Do you have that on top of the normal purple and the purple with black stripe? Should be 2 purple, 2 green, 2 gray, and 2 white. Each set is for a door speaker.

Thanks this really helped out a lot. If you don’t mind telling, what’s the song at 1:10?

Lol I’ll have to listen on my headset when I get home. Hard to tell because I turn it down as soon as I turn the ignition on.

@@big.wi1188 I almost gave up because I couldn't figure out enough of the lyrics, but I KNEW I had heard the song before. Did some more extensive listening and Googling, then found it! It's Shimmer, by Fuel, an alternative rock band from the 90's. Enjoy!

Do happen to know the where you got the harness because I have already gotten the wrong one

Cameron Young Got mine at Best Buy but you should be able to buy it online if you Google the part number.

PkwyDr do you think you could get the wiring harness at Wal-Mart?

@TonyTheTruckGuy 9 жыл бұрын

Possibly, just look for the right part number, they may use a different brand though. I just usually do Besy Buy because they normally have everything I need under one roof.

Dodge should have made that panel two pieces there a pain in the ass getting around the column and shifter. I'm doing a double din in my 04 now and nobody makes a panel to make the change so it's gotta be custom made. Looking really good but I'd pay $100 for a panel just to save time.

@TonyTheTruckGuy 6 жыл бұрын

Metra doesn’t make a double din panel? I know they do for the Chevy trucks.

@brownranchcustoms1651 8 жыл бұрын

would it be the same procedure for an '01 Durango SLT?

@TonyTheTruckGuy 8 жыл бұрын

Pretty close. May need different part numbers for the filler panel and wiring adapters but the steps are the same.
