Buy it

This worked great to add a double din head unit to my 2nd gen Dodge. It comes with a ring you set on the dash bezel so you can mark it for what you need to cut out, and a trim ring that goes in that hole for a nice finished look. I'm really happy with this kit.

Excellent, except for ....

This kit worked well for my Dodge Ram 2500. Would have given it a 5 star rating except that the instructions are incomplete for my truck. Instructed to remove only bottom of compartment. However, you will need to remove the upper part as well to install a double din radio. Overall, I am very satisfied with the kit and the tech service. See photo.

Be VERY careful.

Takes some adjusting, but gives a decent overall finished look. Mounting tabs that anchor radio to dash are fragile. Be VERY careful or the tabs will break as mine did rendering it a loose fit.

The face plate modification is perfect. The mounting brackets are flimsy and not designed for the Sony VAX-AX1000 unit. I had to drill 2 additional holes to tilt the unit approx 3 degrees down to ensure a proper fit.

The instructions showed trimming the bottom of the radio opening but I had to trim the top in order to get the radio to fit

Great kit, worked great

Excellent installation kit for my Kenwood DMX7706S in my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500. The mounting brackets are very flexible and strong (which is a huge plus), though this kit does not come with screws, your head unit does.

Fine enough. Be ready to cut your dash!

It does an okay enough job, though I struggled to get the right mounting depth/height on my new head unit to fit perfectly with the trim piece. Making cuts to both the trim bezel and the sub-bezel was a little stressful, even though I'm generally comfortable with a rotary tool. The fit and finish isn't incredible, but it gets the job done to give you a larger screen. The way the trim piece fits forces my head unit back in the dash, which makes the volume knob a little harder to get to. I may end up cutting it to allow the unit to come further forward at the risk of needing to buy another. I did this specifically to be able to add a backup camera to my truck.

double DIN radio in my favorite Ram body

Finally a clean way to install a double DIN radio in a second gen Ram. The trim fits a little loose so I glued it in place once I was happy with the fit. Be prepared to take your time in trimming your dash. An airsaw or Dremel type tool is invaluable in trimming the dash. I gave it 5 stars because it awesome that Metra knows that people love second gen Ram trucks.
