How difficult was this for you to install? I have a '04 Dodge Dakota and the radio just broke, and thought this would make a good replacement.

Hi Sharon The unit has a great sound firstly with the old speakers. The unit is reasonably easy to fit but I recommend you get the shop to do it if you haven't done one before. Although if ya get stuck you can always take to the shop in pieces. If you try yourself you must disconnect the battery and make sure its insulated from the car. This will defend the devices when they are being installed in case any wires touch. Good Luck Bruce

I put it on a 98 Dakota and I had to modify it some ,so,with the same modifications, it should fit yours as well

Please contact bulldog customer service. They are very helpful and supportive. But I installed one on my wife's 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee and they both are still awesome! Wife is too! But contact bulldog and they will answer any questions you have. Installation a little tricky but simple, of course depending on year of vehicle. I just installed one on a 1999 Chevy Astro mini van.

Given the problems that I (and everyone else) had, I would guess the equipment is not compatible. It seems like everyone has had problems with this radio and with Tyso. Save yourself a ton of aggravation and money, and buy from someplace local and with a better reputation, maybe even the dealership. If you don't take this advice, you will regret it!

I would suggest getting a radio install kit aswell as a wiring harness and wire crimp kit(hardware store, less than 2$). I would also spend some time looking at youtube videos to see how people have accomplished this. Friends that have also done this before are a big help but it is an easy 1 person job.

You will have to buy a mounting kit, and a wire harness(made for your make and model). Cheap items. radio fits in the mounting kit, mounting kit fits in the whole in your dash!

Tina, happy to answer any other questions. I thought this would be a daunting task, but I was "shocked" (pun intended) how " easy" replacing the shocks were.

I was not able to do it myself. I am a 31 yr old female with no knowledge of automobiles. I had a friend help who had basic knowledge and between that and the instructions was able to do so with ease.

Hello. The radio face is slightly larger than a double-din, and may require some modification to the dash panel to properly install this radio. I would recommend using a 6.2'' LCD model such as the Boss BV9364B. You will also need a dash kit, and a wire harness to complete the installation.

It really was not very hard to do. But what I did wrong was use a pair of channel locks to tighten it. I broke it doing this and had to order another one. If you look at the top of it you will see the valve that pushes in. You will also see a nut on the top, make sure you use a wrench there to hold the solenoid. Good luck.

You will have to pull the head unit out and connect this into the wiring harness between the radio and where the harness plugs into your vehicles factory wiring. It's not difficult, but you may need to solder or re-crimp the connections depending on how your wiring harness adapter is installed. I would think that Best Buy or a local car stereo shop would do the install for a few $ if you don't want to mess with it.

Brady, I installed the same part in my Dakota with the booth up and have no problems. Make sure all the bolts are tightened up properly. Try having someone turn the steering wheel back and forth while you are watching it move and observe if it is moving properly and not making any noise. If it appears ok it could be a shock or some other problem. I hope this helps.Paul D.

If someone knows what they're doing it would take 30-40 minutes to install. I recommend two people, one to hold wires so the other can make good solid connections. Look up a wiring diagram for your vehicles stereo, and match with the head units diagram. It's very simple, but you must pay attention to the details when installing.

Nope you have to tear the whole dash apart, kind of a challange but worth the time.nice radio, Dennis

The suplies for installation are very basic. For a specific model, I would suggest a good installation kit. Just to improve the appearance. The Pyle comes with a basic black plastic cover plate, if you were not that concerened with the look, it does a fine job. As long as there is a large enough opening in he dash for the mounting box to set into, the Pyle should slide into it. It is also not as deep as some of the older radios, which makes installation even easier.

Yes, very easy for me. Just plug it in to the antenna, and to power and it was pretty straight forward. I installed this is a case where I was also installing a new stereo, so I already had the dash all taken apart, and had easy access to the power supply. If you don't have your dash taken apart, you may look at where you are going to get power to make sure that it is easily accessible. Otherwise this might be a little bit more work than you were planning.

Sorry, can't help you. I had the dealer install mine. They were running a special last year, $199.00 installed. So I'm assuming it's pretty easy to install.
