Turns out I was able to run the unit through the Stock amp and get it working on the first try. Luck I'm sure. Then added an "all in one" 8'' SpeakerAmp/box " under the driver seat independently powered to Batt. and was able to connect an aftermarket. rear camera to the head unit. So now my old truck sings new.

I have dismantled the dash one a prior occasion in order to change the shift module for the transfer case. This time, though, I needed info on removing and replacing the radio as my radio does not work - which is another story. Now, I see that there may be two different styles of plus on the radios - so, I guess I need to see what style of connector I need in the replacement radio that I procure. Thanx for posting!

Nice Radio Install! Was happy to see your Dodge Dakota had an On/Off Switch on the Air Bags like my 2004 Dakota. Glad you were able to leave it "plugged In" yet still pull your Dash out a bit. Wondered if you removed the Negative Clamp on your Truck Battery before you began?

Has anyone that has this same year truck had a problem with one speaker only working sometimes ?? My front passenger speaker works only every once in a while.. not sure if it's a loose connection or maybe a problem from the factory stereo... I'm getting ready to install a new stereo in it so I'm hoping that fixes it..

I have tilt steering and still was unable to get the front of dash fully removed, as it sticks behind the steering wheel. This is the worst design I have ever seen but I was able to access the back of radio, only to find out they use an odd antenna connector, so was unable to install the FM modulator for my SiriusXM radio. I will be waiting to replace the entire unit soon and fix it then using an antenna adaper... if I can pull the dash once more without breaking it in two XD.
