Rick a friend of a friend supposedly has a wrecked Ram 1500 with a center console, I want at least the bezel if it good shape, where are the lower screws to get that off and do the side end pieces of the center console need to come off first to get to those lower screws?

Thanks

Since I am asking do you know where and how many screws actually get the center console out as well? I don't have one so no clue.

The radio bezel for the console is different than the bezel for the jump seat version. It has a tab that comes down with the two screws. If you are not adding the center console you would not be able to use the bezel for the console. You would need to find one off of a Ram with the jump seat with the premium bezel. That being said I have never removed a bezel from a Ram with the center console but I know the bezel itself just has the two extra screws on the bottom.I am sure it be pretty strait foward to remove the console. Maybe you can get the whole thing. I personally prefer the jumpseat for the extra room it provides.

The radio bezel is the same and he can use it, the center stack is not.

I'm in need of help in putting in my new shark antenna. Which direction do the wires run for the antenna? I already took off the original antenna and put on shark one. I have no idea where which direction the wires go to the radio. I have already tried looking all over and can't find anything on the internet thanks in advance.

Thanks cptwing good catch! I miss understood his question. Thought he meant upgrading the whole thing. Of course you are correct the actual radio bezel is the same.

Thanks to both and I did mean the entire unit as I do prefer to add the center console at some point, I like that over the leg room.

to those who have completed 8,4 conversion on 4 speed fan. Will I be able to try radio and radio controlls with out hvac module, resistor, and mopar harness. I have the new bezel and will be receiving T harness tommorrow. I just need to get in the screen touch calibration menu to calibrate screen, its very annoying to touch the screen and cant change stations. all the other parts will come in about a week when i will finish up. Just read that someone on this forum had radio and controlls working before he received mopar harness. Any help is appriciated, thanks

Yes. Plug the T harness in and the bezel, calibrate screen, remove and wait for everything else.

Just plug the side that goes into the truck harness, and the plug for the bezel, connecting the other side won't do anything.

CuylerTech, So I plugged the white connector to truck and the other the black one to bezel one of the white plugs from T harness not plugged in. all i get is hazzards to work no volume no seek enter and the bezel doesnt light up when I turn lights on. Do the resistor and hvac module and mopar harness need to be plugged in for it to power bezel? I get the other parts by the end of the week. I was really hoping I could calibrate screen. Is there a possibility T harness is bad. bezel I bought new. thanks in advance. Let me know if I was doing something wrong
