I just bought a 2007 dodge ram 1500 5.7 and I want to install my double din pioneer. Is there a special wire harness needed like a PAC interface?

I only have 4 speakers. My pioneer unit is a 1/4 inch to big for the opening so I need a new bezel. Is there any place to get them cheaper then $116?

If the pioneer is going to have navigation, use the C2R-CHY4. If you buy the HU from crutchfield they give you a discount on the PAC. If no navigation, you can get by without a PAC, you'll just need to run an accessory power wire. $116 is probably a good price for a new piece, you could always check junk yards though.

I have an REF factory radio in it now. And I bought the pioneer from cruthfield 3 years ago. So would I still be able to install the pioneer without a PAC and just run an acc. Wire to the unit?

No, you need the PAC unit to interface with the stock CANBUS system.
