Has anyone seen this before?

Just came across this while watching video's of the RB1 on youtube, I was thinking about getting the RB1 for my 02 QC 1500 and happend to see this. I never knew anyone made an aftermarket unit that would fit the stock opening perfectly like that. It says it's made specifically for the Jeep but I thought this would be the same in my Ram.

Check it out:

I would try that aftermarket unit instead of the RB1. I had the RB1 in my old truck and it was ok but it wasn't touch screen and the graphics are very out dated.

I know... I'm thinking that unit would be pretty cool. It's only $385 before tax and shipping and from what I can tell from the video's it looks pretty good. You can easily change the code in it so that when it turns on it will show a rams head instead of the jeep logo. Only thing Im worried about is it says that it's compatible with 2004 Ram but I didn't think their was any differences between the 02-04? do you know?

That is cool, didn't know something like that existed. I wouldn't think there would be much differnce between an 02 and an 04 radio, not 100% sure tho. I have an 05 and can post pics of it if that'd help to compare yours to.

I think the shape of the unit is the same so I'm worried about fit. I'm more worried about connections or harnesses being different. I think I'm going to give it shot soon. I found a newer model that has updated software and uses tom tom navigation through SD card. I'm pretty excited about this, nice to know there is a plug and play option for this truck with a 100% stock look.

It should fit from the look of it. I did some checking and the Jeep uses the same basic model factory stereo as the Ram. This is a great find, this might change the route for upgrades I was gonna do.

Let us know if this works, that'd be awesome!

Going to be a few weeks before I purchase but ill let you know how it works out when I do. Ill be going with the newer model that supports tom tom navigation as well as Igo navigation maps. I'm looking forward to it.

Great, let me know what you think. My purchase has been put on hold for a while because of repairs again on the truck. I hope you like it, I'm still thinking that's the way to go.
