New radio

[Randomrunner12]

Hey all,

Just looking for some clarity. I dont know much about radios and double dins but I do understand the wiring and all the install stuff so just need some help.

my current radio in the image has stopped playing CD's and wont eject them anymore either. Does anyone know if this is a double din or not and if so have any recommendations on a good upgrade that has bluetooth or maybe apple and android play?

Just looking for options.

That is not a double DIN... I believe Metra makes a adapter that makes the opening a single DIN... They also make adapter harness so you don't have to cut anything. Honestly... You'd be better off grabbing a used pull on eBay. Here's a drop in replacement for $144

Your model stereo is known as a "RES"

You can see what’s available at www.crutchfield.com. There is a kit that allows installation of a double-din radio.

The sell replacement complete CD mechanisms that you can repair your radio with. Generally the gears crack and jam from age (or a belt rots off). There are several places that sell NOS or repaired OEM radios as well .

Ive been using crutchfield for years. They make it so easy, and for a few more $$ you get a harness that is plug and play.

Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to look at crutchfield. I used them 15 years ago for audio stuff for my 77 gran fury and they were great except for the shipping lol.

Hopefully better now

It is 1.5 DIN, a size that Chrysler used for decades.

You can drop in every Chrysler Radio that comes out of the same time yours is, even upgrade to the top of the line model like i always did. Its plug n play.

In your case that would be an 8.4 with touch screen, bluetooth, hands free phone and all the bells and whistles.

 

[Randomrunner12]

Really? AN 8.4 would drop in? I would think i need to modify the dash some? Maybe go to the dealer to get stuff activated?

 

[Ozymandias]

Probably, or do it yourself with ALFA, but that is guessing from my side.
I remember that in my '12 Durango I saw the settings for the Radio to choose which one is fitted.

 

[Ozymandias]

But of course only if the 8.4 was a factory option for your Trucks MY.
