Replacing stock radio

[CStringer]

Does anyone know if this radio will fit my 07 CC 3500?

Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep DVD GPS iPod Bluetooth TS NEW - eBay (item 160347878934 end time Sep-08-09 10:23:17 PDT)

I currently have the single disc am/fm/cd player w/ aux input. it is the dual din like all the others ive seen



I want to know if that radio will fit my truck, and if so, is there anything else i need to get to make it work? I want the bluetooth... and the gps would be nice too.



thanx

Factory radios are now somewhat standard sized using DIN specs, whatever that is.

The problem you have to watch out for could be the CANBUS electronics in your truck might not communicate with the radio.

Since '06 all Dodge trucks and probably all MOPAR products use a system called CANBUS with computer signals passing through the same electrical wires that provide 12v or pass audio signals. I have no idea if the parts are interchangeable or if they can communicate with a radio not factory installed. Perhaps the dealer can flash the system and enable communication?

ok that being the case, any idea where to go online to find out what the reciever id is to find a direct replacement?

No, sorry, I'm clueless. Maybe a member who is interested in car/truck sound systems and fancy electronics can help you.
