Aftermarket Radio Question

res1551cue · Oct 16, 2012

Those of you with an aftermarket radio in your truck, does your VR and phone call button on your steering wheel still operate? Also does your GPS and SAT radio antenna still fit the aftermarket radio?

I want to get a touchscreen HU but dont want to pay $2K for one from Mopar.

I bought a Kenwood HU and in order for me to keep all my standard stuff I had to buy a crap load of adapters. So it's possible to retain most of your features with aftermarket adapters. I had my steering wheel controls reprogrammed for the new HU, the GPS runs off my factory antenna with an adapter, and my satellite radio still uses the same cable (just need to take off the yellow piece at the end). The only thing I couldn't reuse was my factory microphone in the rear view mirror... So now I have the aftermarket one coming out of the driver side pillar.
