Dodge Ram Radio Install - 2017 1500
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2020
- Upgraded the factory basic radio to a new JVC KW-V350BT.
The install is not very difficult with all the parts used, what takes the longest is cutting the metal bracket behind the oem radio to make room for a double din.

Thanks for vid man
No problem man, glad it can help you out.
Excellent!
Thanks! 🤛
Thank you very much for the step by step installation! It was nice to include the wiring harness as well. Question where did you install the mic? It looks like it's center over the drive on the roof panel? Did you run the wire up the side pillar?
Thanks! Glad its helped you out. I did place the mic originally by the gauges but there was no good way to make it stay in place, so I ended up placing it ut the top of the headliner. I did run it up the pillar and tucked it behind the weather seal without having to remove it. I pulled it back with my fingers and pushed the wire in. Now it sits nice and solid at the top.
I have a 2016 Ram 1500. No touch screen or Alpine system. Very basic factory system. Will the stereo harness that you posted a link for work for my truck? I bought a Boss Bluetooth/DVD player. And a separate back up camera.
Sorry for the late reply, yes it should work. The harness is made to be used for base and upgraded models.
was your original display size 3.5? hope to hear soon! great video!
Ya that sounds about right, although it's not my truck but my brother in-law. And thanks 🤛
What does that red wire connect to that’s hanging beside the yellow plug for backup camera?
There should only be one red wire (ignition) which will connect to the new radio red wire.
Great video . I will be installing a after market radio in my dodge Ram . Did you have a back up camera on your truck or did you install one? If so where did you mount the camera . My truck has one already
This truck did have an oem rear camera so I did install one. I placed it just above the licence plate, Here is that video so you can see. and thanks for the good feedback!

Hey buddy, great video. I have the same truck, that I’m trying to install a Pioneer SPH-DA 100. I contacted Crutchfield, and they said that they do not make a harness that’s compatible for my truck with this pioneer stereo. Do you recommend splicing the wires to make it work. I sure would love to hear from you. Let me know.
thanks!
the kit ai used is universal and it capable of retaining the oem camera if you have one. Not sure why it would need to be specific to that pioneer unit.
I always recomment using adpater harnesses to avoid cutting up oem harnesess.
Any reason my rear camera only works when i choose to veiw it instead of when i put it in reverse?
You need to go into the head unit settings and make sure the rear camera input is set to on. Some show it as "interruption" meaning it will automatically swith to the rear cam input when you put your truck in reverse.
Do you have a link to the wiring harness you used to install the radio? I cannot find it anywhere.
Yes, I'll get it to you shortly.
It is the axxess XSVI-6523-NAV
What does the reverse wire do? My backup camera is in my review mirror. Do I still need the reverse wire? Also what is the module for? I have a tradesman edition, no swc, no amp or anything.. Dol they make a wiring kit without all that extra stuff that I can just plug into the factory wiring?
This wiring kit purpose is for you to be able to change the factory radio but keep some or most of the functions like your reverse camera. You would need to use the reverse wire to connect from the new radio to the adapter harness, same with your camera rca. The module is what converts your factory wiring into the aftermarket connections for a simpler installation. These kits are designed to work for both amplified and non-amplified systems. Connect the wires you need and that's it.
@@esqu3l3to my backup camera is not connected to the radio it is connected to the rear view mirror.. So do I still need this wiring kit or can I get a simple wiring kit without the module?
From what I have seen, this is the only wiring kit they have. I haven't seen anything regarding the camera in the rear view mirror. I'll do some more searching and let you know if I find anything.
Where’s the link for the center console mother board? So I can use CarPlay through the usb in the center console
Sorry for the late reply, I will get you that link.
💡Hi, does the new radio installation interferes with the vehicle system at all?? And what about the vehicles information stored or played in the stock radio?!?
The new radio does not interfere with the oem features at all. The wiring kit keeps most festures working (if yours has them) including backup camera, tho if its located in the rear view mirror I am not sure about. Steering wheel controls can be kept by installing a module (not part of the kit). If yours has other features that you want to keep or even access then I would suggest using the maestro rr system.
,,my truck looks just like yours with the rear view camera on the rear so I'm hoping everything will go smooth and no check engine lights LOL thanks a lot though 🙏🏽
Just make sure to disconnnect the negative on your battery before doing anything inside your truck, and that will help not having any issues. Always double check your connections prior to hooking it up again. Let me know how it turns out 👍
@@esqu3l3to so without the maestro, what steer wheel controls do you lose? Cause all my buttons on my steering wheel do is control the menu near my Speedo. Will that still work without the maestro?
@jessethabarber without the maestro, you lose all steering wheel controls and any functions related to oem feautures (if you have them) like certain information displaying. if you dont have any other feautures then all you need is an aswc-1 adaoter to keep your steering wheel controls
Do you have to plug the rca’s from the radio to the harness? Like I’m installing a pioneer head unit in my ram but I’m also adding a amp so I would need to use my jacks from the radio but I only have one set
No you don't, the only one you would use is if you have a factory camera or aftermarket. Otherwise, no others are needed.
@@esqu3l3to thanks for replying so quick man I thought I messed up big time 😂 cause I seen where your radio only had 2 rca jacks and I remembered mine was the same and I was wanting to add a sub
Haha all good man, glad I could help you out.
Hey man, what Pioneer head unit do you have? I have a Pioneer SPH-DA100. Crutchfield told me they did not have a harness that was compatible with for the Dodge Ram for a Pioneer head unit. What did you use for a harness? Did you have to splice them together?
If my truck has steering wheel controls so do I use that one into the box and not the other
Sorry for the late reply, in that case you use both. The one module is for oem integration amd the other will be your steering wheel control module. Plug into each connecting harness. Remember, the steering wheel control module needs to be connected to the harness labelled swc.
Can I do solid blue to blue white, that would be power antenna to amp turn on
Is it labeled power antenna? That may work.
Hi, It looks like I purchased this exact truck.. Is it anyway you can undo this radio system? Please help.
hello, what do you mean by undo the radio system?
Hello what is the info for the antenna adapter...can find it
Let me check as it may have changed
It says that this harness won’t fit a 2017 ram on all the sites I’ve checked?
Most I searched did not specify this truck either but it did. I did search a lot before I got this one which is made for basic and premium systems
Is there a way to use my oem back up camera with a aftermarket radio??
Yes you can, using the same wiring harness as I used. It comes pre-wired and with a male video connection to connect directly into your new head unit.
@@esqu3l3to thank you very much
👍
I see you used a 6.8 screen jvc stereo. Can I go bigger like 9 inches ?
The truck dash will only fit a screen thats 7" or smaller. If you want a bigger sized screen then you would need a to also replace the main dash on your truck. Having said that, newer kenwood and alpine head units now have 10' screen but with double din chassis.
Thank you for that information.
It’s possible for it but Alpine sells a whole kit that comes with the new bezel u need the radio is like 1000+
Correct, Kenwood is also selling new units that the screen can be detached but the chassis is still 2-din
Can’t click on the link to the harness
I will update it for you.
I cut my bracket with tin snips
Was it easy? It was kind of thick so thats why I used the blade.
@@esqu3l3to it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Does the red wire not work on the T harness? I connected the red wire that’s on the T harness to the radio red wire and I get no power?
The red wire you need to use is the loose one, don't use any other red wire that are on the two black connectors. Also, make sure your black box (decoder) is firmly connected to the unlabeled harness with the black connector. Which install harness are you using? I used the xsvi-6523-nav
@@esqu3l3to I used the AXVI-6523 harness. The red wired on that harness has no power going to it? I’m having to tap into my 12 V outlet for radio power
It does but its controlled by the module. Did you connect the black module?
@@esqu3l3to ok it’s working👍🏽 I had the Black box connected To the wrong harness🥴
Thank for your help 🙏🏽
