Can't use the 4th gen wiring in your 05. At all. FYI the cluster, radio and HVAC controls from the 4th gen that fit that dash won't work with your wiring either. 4th gen = two generations of CAN bus beyond your PCI bus.Want to put a 4th gen dash in my 05 qc truck anyone done this and what about the wiring is this gonna be a nitemare any help works be greatly appreciated thx
Nope. 06 started CAN bus. This would work better for you though in terms of the cluster and HVAC controls being the same shape as what you already have so you could use your own harness inside the dash.Another question if I put a 06 dash in my 05 will the wiring harness from the 06 work work 05 harness or do I have to deal the harness out of my 05 dash into the 06 dash thx
Certain things you can. Seats for example (2012-ish seats in a 2003):Because I'm always looking to do things never tried just dumb I guess
There's a guy on here that's swapped several 4th gen dashes to a 3rd gen, his name is fastmopar69. You use your current wiring harness and need a to trim a little of the 4th gen dash to get it to fit but it's doable. You'll also have to make your own ac piping to the vents. There's even a guy on YouTube that put it in his 2nd gen. You just have to keep the same wiring harness and route it with the new dash. The 06 to 05 will be easier than the 4th gen it should just bolt straight up but again you have to keep your wiring harness and re route it to the new dash.
He might be fast69mopar then. It's something like that lolI have tried searching for fastmopar69 to send a message and no known user.
Shoot I just this after a while. And yeah last I spoke to him he swapped a trans, engine, dash, harness, and all over into his 3rd gen. He was working on a way to make it easier for people to swap to the 8hp70 trans in their gens without doing an entire swap.Yep, this guy @Fast69Mopar. He hasn't been on here in a good while but maybe DMing him might work. For the record yes it will bolt up pretty good, but the HVAC systems between 3rd and 4th gens are different and the wiring would be MUCH different. At one point fast69mopar said he basically put a 2015 truck (engine, dash, whole 9 yards) into a 2003-2005 body. Pretty neat but I could imagine very expensive
Throwing in an '06 dash into your 05 would be a bit easier, but you would have to keep your old wiring harness, controls among numerous other little quirks between the years that would probably make things a bit more frustrating than it would be on the surface
So this particular style on all except like the 2013s? is controlled by a LIN bus on the 4th gens IIRC, so they would be a bit difficult to wire up on their own. One of the guys on this forum made and at one time was selling a kit that came with wiring, fuse/relay box, and everything to make one of these run but I forgot who exactly it was or if they still are selling it.Posted this in another section here that caught no attention. Maybe General will have better luck lol
So I am attempting the 4th gen dash in a 3rd gen body, I've found enough pictures and videos of other people getting it done and talked with fast69mopar enough to where I am confident to get this done. But I have these buttons now that will be just for show and I was wondering if I could use them for other things, like a button to make my mirrors fold in for example. There's only 3 pins in the back and im assuming one is power and the other 2 lead to the 2 buttons individually or a ground and then 1 pin to both buttons. If I find which one is the power could I theoretically use these buttons?
Anyone by chance know what the name of this module is called so I can find the pinout in a manual as well
