MetraElectronics 95-6528B Double Din Dash Kit for 2006-2010 Dodge Ram (Black)

Follow manual - My review is informational only!Dash has the standard radio, with the half moonsI own a 2006 dodge ram 2500, Diesel. These trucks don't have your typical dash kits. it made things confusing when trying to figure out what one to get! I only bought this one as another review on this had a picture along with helpful information.This kit does work fine however you need to note a few things. Cutting of the factory panel is required. If you have a dremel or some type of cutting disk where you can control it, this is cake! Basically you take your factory panel, cut the piece that divides the stock radio and the storage compartment. Once that is done, cut off 1/8th inch on both sides on the unit(where the half moons are). This is all stated in the manual as well.Then the face-plate snaps in. You want to take your time and measure to make a perfect cut. Cut off to much then you just costed yourself some money, the replacement panels are pricey.Another note I have is the stock radio does not have a switched source! I ran into this issue, got everything wired up and the radio would not turn on. Rewired, still nothing. Thanks to a Amazon Review on another product this was mentioned! I tapped into the cigarette lighter, to get the 12v switched source. Once this was done, radio turned on.I have a picture attached.Again, take your time and measure. The right tools will make this easy, the wrong tool will more than likely destroy the dash panel. Remember, its plastic!

Great solution to expensive alternative options. Let's be honest, you've got more money than sense if you spend upwards of 200$ on a factory "double din" or "nav" spaced center dash cover just to swap a single din to a double sized stereo. This part looks great, and is a simple install. If you have a dremel it's even faster.I installed this in less than an hour and even popped it all in place without wiring, as a dry run to see if it all lined up properly. Any reviews stating they "broke pieces" or "it looks terrible and doesn't line up" probably didn't do it right and caused the issues themselves.Easy. And clean looking. Done.A SLIGHT space may be left on top/bottom depending on what stereo you install but it's hardly noticeable. And if it is, a small piece of abs sheet will slide in and hide it if you're a perfectionist or can see any lighting/etc showing through. I'm not going to even bother. It looks great as is with my pioneer radio

Have a 2006 Ram 3500. I’ve seen people trimming out the dash area that’s required to notch out with a file. If you have a multi tool (oscillating saw) then I would use that. Takes less than 45 seconds. A lot of people ask this and yes, the round parts in the dash where the old tuner and volume knobs were so get covered up. Like I said in the title. Unless there was an obvious way to have the new stereo pre adjusted then you’ll have to be patient adjusting it to the correct position with the side mounts. But once it’s in place it looks awesome

Others have mentioned that it needs a wee bit of trimming to work on certain models. Mine (2007 base model ram 3500) is one of those models but once the trimming is done, it’s one of the cleanest looking options I’ve seen for these trucks. Worked out perfect with a few mins of easy work.

This was the perfect fit for my application installed a double din in single din spot. Installer said it fit perfect. Will buy again if needed. Definitely recommend.

Excellent fit and definitely worth the money no hassle on install just pay attention to install directions and cut the right pieces

Fits my pioneer perfectly. People have said that this need to be cut to fit a double din and somehow it’s not a good fit. That is incorrect. This besel fits the first edge of the faceplate for the double din. The Whole stereo is NOT supposed to fit in it. A bit of plastic trimming and boom! Bad ass fit!

I don't usually give 5 stars unless I actually do "love" the item. This kit was extremely easy and ended up looking very clean! I used a dremel to cut out the factory brace and shave out the needed areas which were clearly indicated in the directions. I've used Metra before and ended up with underwhelming results, but that got this kit for a 2006 RAM 1500 perfect.

Installed in a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. Extremely easy to install. You have to saw one piece off and remove the little storage tray below the old radio. This piece fits right over and snaps into place. Good luck! Highly recommend. It took me 3 minutes to fit it into place.

Pour un dodge ram fait sur lauto mais pas pour le radio mon erreur. Merci beaucoup

Had to cut to make fitted- use just few pieces of frame
