I've been browsing the forums for a little bit, but I have been scouring the internet after working on my dads radio for over a week at this point. I've been attempting to update his factory radio with a new Head Unit mostly due to his CD player no longer working. Below I have listed the items I have purchased thus far. From what I'm reading I might need a canbus, however, I can't seem to find a good link for anything to actually work.
At this point I can get power to the radio if I connect the Red wire from the HU to the Yellow wire from the harness but the power doesn't shut off. Additionally, I attempted to load a CD and no sound was coming out of it. I was going to take the red wire from the headunit and attach it to my cigarette lighter but I hear that can cause odd issues. Any help would be great because I'm really struggling here.
2008 Dodge Ram 1500 - Infinity system with no Nav
New HeadUnit - Kenwood DDX5707S
Harness - Maestro HRN-RR-CH2
New Speakers - Kicker 40CS693440CS5440CS354
Also got a new Bezel as I cracked his old one and got a Double Din replacement as well as some LED lights to replace the blown bulbs that were the backlights for the AC control panel.
Any help is great.
