2:42:20 p.m.Welcome to Crutchfield Online Chat. I'm Duke. How may I help with your product selections and purchases?

2:42:32 p.m.Hi,
2:42:48 p.m.I have a question about what head unit will fit my vehicle.2:43:05 p.m.I have a 2004 Dodge Ram quad Cab with the Infinity system2:43:33 p.m.AFAIK, it doesn't have the "Uconnect" stuff, but there was an aftermarket Single DIN unit intstalled when i bought the truck
2:44:10 p.m.I have been shopping for a replacement for a while now, and was under the impression that a Double Din unit would not fit without some fairly extensive cutting,
2:44:32 p.m.involving altering the trucks bezel and cutting some stuff behind it to make the Double Din fitr.
2:44:38 p.m.*Fit
2:45:19 p.m.In fact, on the Crutchfield website when I first started shopping, it specifically would say that DD head unit's would not fit
2:45:34 p.m.But suddenly today, it is showing that they Will fit.
2:45:39 p.m.Just want to know what gives.
Duke
2:46:43 p.m.For the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, 7 speakers (no U-Connect), I do show Double Din options with the dash it we carry.
2:46:56 p.m.I'll check to see if any others come up as not having this ability. 2:47:48 p.m.All variations of the 1500 Quad Cab show the Double Din option and no major change in dash depth either.
2:48:02 p.m.I think the change is the introduction of this dash kit.
2:48:06 p.m.We are due to get them on June 16.
Moops
2:48:06 p.m.Really?
Duke
2:48:18 p.m.As it's a recent introduction, it may not have filtered for it previously.
Moops
2:48:31 p.m.Oh! Does it include a new dash bezel?
Duke
2:48:49 p.m.I actually don't have much hands-on data since it is a new item but yes, it would be replacing the dash panel.
Moops
2:48:55 p.m.Videos I've seen on Youtube show that you have to drill out the plastic welds on the old bezel
2:49:05 p.m.How much does that cost?
2:49:31 p.m.And do you have a link to a product page?
Duke
2:50:05 p.m.The Dash Kit looks to be around $20.
2:50:25 p.m.I admit, the web page isn't fully developed for it yet so I don't have a link to share.
Moops
2:50:31 p.m.Wow! Sweet.
Duke
2:50:31 p.m.I only see it coming up in our internal systems.
Moops
2:51:05 p.m.Ok. But I do remember seeing videos that show people having to cut some of the dash to get their DD units to fit...
Duke
2:52:04 p.m.Right, with the dash cavity (internal hole) barely 4'', there seems to be some issues there. As I don't have more information on the dash kit package, I'm not sure what how it's going about holding the stereo and framing it in that factory opening.
Moops
2:53:32 p.m.Ok.
2:53:45 p.m.Y'all are getting them on June 16th then?
2:53:51 p.m.Any idea when there might be more info?
Duke
2:55:05 p.m.I hope by Monday, haha. But I'm assuming we're in the process of getting them into our database since the release is soon.
2:55:23 p.m.For your info, this will be the item number:
2:55:23 p.m.120956522
2:55:35 p.m.It won't pull up any items not but once the product page is built it should.
Moops
2:56:01 p.m.Awesome! I will be looking out for that over the next week or two then. Glad I held out on that Single Din!
Duke
2:56:48 p.m.It's one of the rare situations when the wait paid off, that's for sure.
Moops
2:58:12 p.m.Thanks for the help.
Duke
2:58:23 p.m.You're welcome. If you decide to place your order online, please include my name - DUKE - as your Product Advisor. I'll get notified of the order and credit plus get it ready to go as soon as we can.
