Review on Silver Aftermarket Stereo Install Standard by Louis Asok

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This dashboard works and looks good. Remember what air conditioning vents do.

This fascia works and looks great. Please note that the air conditioner vents do not come with the front panel. You have to use the old ones from your old bezel. Sounds simple enough except the vents are welded onto the original faceplate. So you need to trim carefully with a dremel to remove the air vents from the old frame. Nothing complicated, just boring. I used automotive nuts to reattach the air vents to the new faceplate. They worked like a charm. Another option is to just use epoxy on the plastic if you're looking for a more durable option. All other parts of the dashboard are simply screwed on. I bought a silver gray dashboard. The silver matches the other silver parts of the interior perfectly, but lacks the shine of the original dashboard. However, no one will ever notice. The dashboard looks completely factory with a two din radio which is what I wanted. The radio mounts worked great. I also liked the antenna adapter. The wiring harness is useless. My truck is 2007. I bought a Metra wiring harness to maintain remote access to the truck. Note that the 2006-2009 Rams do not have a remote access power cable going to the radio. A proper wiring harness is around $50 on Amazon. Overall this bezel is well worth the money if you want a standard look. I didn't want to cut my factory frame for a double noise because the truck is too good to mess up the dash like that. And I didn't want little semi-circles around my radio from the factory control knobs. So I decided to buy a navigation bar and install a dash kit in it, but that option would cost about $300 and I'd still have cheap black plastic around my radio. This bezel was almost $100 cheaper and looks factory made. So it was a win-win situation. I'll try to post pictures later.
