Joying 2g hu in a ram 1500

[Tmemz]

Hi I recently bought a joying double din unit to go into my 14 ram 1500. Was wondering if anyone had any insight on installing it meaning if I need any special harnesses for my truck and or dash kits and what not.

THANKS

These will give you some ideas for starters, as well as some parts.

Yes you usually need an aftermarket harness & adapter unit to mount your radio. This may work: https://www.amazon.com/Metra-95-6518B-Double-Installation-Interface/dp/B00EYP2JME/

You may need to modify the above with a dremel, they usually don't fit the android radios out of the box as the android radios are a but larger than double DIN size.

No guarantees, however. You ought to stop by a RAM trucks forum and see what they have done.

My experience has been a bit different than yours because I'm not driving a RAM truck (although I'll take your Ram truck if you wanna give it to me. ) but the thing I noticed about these Joying units is you typically do not need the Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface module which is used by some of the simpler aftermarket radios to make the steering wheel keys work (Pioneer, Blaupunkt, etc.).

The nice thing about the Joying units - and most android units - is the control panel in the system settings where you can program what steering wheel keys do what. Real handy. I programmed it myself and was on the road with the volume controls, track change controls and phone off / on buttons in about 2 minutes.

Real techno-sexy, that was.

Come on in, the water's fine!
