I'm one of the "old school" who wants to install an OEM style CD player in the console of my newly acquired 2014 1500 RAM. I saw one somewhere that was designed to plug and play, but now that I'm serious I can't locate one. I thought it was a vendor/sponsor but I just went though them all and couldn't find it. I am not interested in flash drives or what others have done thanks, just a good old CD player in the center console.

Old school indeed. These kids don't even know what music sounds like with all the compressed music on YouTube and apps like IHeartradio.

GL with your search.

Does anyone know the OEM part number for a CD player or am I just dreaming? I did find a unit available from someone but it is apparently only an aftermarket unit with a universal type mount. Maybe that is the only one I saw available? Was there NOT a CD player option? I've looked at using alternative units but I'm not certain how involved it would be to do. I suppose I could hit up my dealer and get some facts. Looking at the owners manual gives me a headache but doesn't generally answer questions~

I have a factory CD player in my jump seat.
As I never use it, I can look into how much of an hassle it is to remove it.
What would it be worth to you?

Send me a PM ...

Thanks to those who offered. I'm looking for an entire console mounted unit including the console insert and wiring. I'm hoping to avoid a Rube Goldberg arrangement and I don't want the under the REAR seat version.

I purchased mine new, prices are too good to go used. All will bolt and plug in, no cutting or mods needed. You will need to use the AlfaOBD app to get it to work with your BCM and radio. Here are the parts you need.

CONSOLE BASE SUPPORT W CD OPTION 68398167AA "This is the correct console base with the CD player included"
CONSOLE BASE MAT W CD OPTION 68199109AA
CONSOLE HARNESS W CD OPTION 68233577AC

You can buy all from any Mopar dealer, I purchase all my Mopar parts here.

Use code "TY16" for a extra discount.

Please PM me if you still have questions.

If you adding the CD player you will need to order the correct console harness to go with it. I will get you the correct harness part number just need to know what options you currently have at the rear of your console ie, seat heater switches, cig lighter, ect.
