Does anyone know who selles a double din adapter kit for the 07 or 08 ram 2500. I have a Z2 in my silverado ut am looking at buying a new ram.

if the truck has the 2 knobs that hang out over the edges of the radio its a custom cut install. if you have the gigantic nav unit then metra makes a kit

i havent bought the truck yet, so is it easy to modify if i just buy the smaller radio? Or should i waste the monet on the huge nav radio?

I have a 2007 Ram 2500, and I have installed the Z2. I started with the small factory dodge radio, and swaped to the nav dash. I will pm you with the parts you would need to install it to look stock.

pics? what's the difference?

how do you physically mount a D3 in the Dash of a Non-Navi truck?

I have yet to buy a bezel, looking at options.

$72 is cheapest i can find, but $54 on ebay plus a LOT of shipping.

I too have an '08 Ram 2500. It may be a bit more expensive but IMO it is far easier and unless your a whiz at custom fab, a cleaner look to just replace the 1.5 din bezel with the nav bezel. Just my 2 cents.

Huge thanks to garrettoomey for doing the hard work for me prior to my install.

I just received the CD-K650 trim piece (based on your opinion on it looking better) and I had a n00b question that I probably already know the answer to.

It has a small plastic horizontal bar across the opening, I'm assuming that this piece should be cut out and filed down for the F90BT. Am I correct or does it serve some secret and non-obvious purpose?

Yes, you will just cut/file it out.

Thanks, I got it all installed the other night. Took about 4 hours (took me a while to find a place for the XM module, was hoping to put it where the factory Sirius was).

Thanks again for the post with all the parts. Really made things easy.

No problem. I removed the factory Sirius, and replaced it with the Pioneer sirius. I decided to go with XM with Nav traffic instead. The XM unit is installed behind a pop out cover on the passenger side. (Open the passenger door, and look at the side of the dash, and you will see a removable cover. I used zip ties to secure it, and then used the stock sirius antenna.

How about posting a picture of your finished install?
