Good evening,

I have been searching for the wiring diagrams for the stock radio in my 2012 Ram 1500 as I want to swap out the factory radio with the Kenwood I had in my 2002. Most of the links are outdated and no longer work.

Question is, is the basic pwr/speaker wiring standard for the Rams or will I need to redo the wiring harness for the 2012?

Thanks!

just get the wire harness and swap it. easy as that. you will need the canbus module that comes with the harness.

its not the same as your 2002 if thats what your asking. you need a new harness. do you have the 6 speaker set up or the 9 speaker alpine stereo?

While I highly recommend this, and it is necessary if you have premium sound. You can always use the cheap harness and run an ACC line of your own.

It depends what radio setup factory you have. Base models like the st and slt that don't have the factory amp. You can get just the harness and run an acc. wire. I did it in mine.
