Anyone know if there is a radio wiring adaptor to hook a Kenwood to the factory wiring? Seen one on Crutchfield but it's for a 2007 1500. Don't know if it will work or not.

Hmmm...good question. call them and find out. I just bought a Kenwood from them myself, and of course they have all the adapters and whatnot. Makes for a super easy install!

Im new here so please bear with me. I just got an 08 and I bought the $150.00 install kit for the aftermarket radio. Wired it all up and no sound and the radio wont even power up. any info would be greatly appreciated.

There is a company out there that makes harness. You tell them the head unit and the vehicle and they make it, all you have to do is plug it in. The thing is I can't remember their name but I will look because I bought one for my camaro.
Start checking stuff kconine. Could be the ground or continuous wire, could just be a fuse. It's just trial and error.

:lol3: wow you paid that much? damn paid $10 for mine

the one on Crutchfield will work for your truck. ihave bought thing from them before. they also have alot on ebay. doesnt matter if its 1500 or 3500 or 5500 they are all the same radio, besides the double din nav.

dodge have a wired jewish way of a radio wiring. like a normal radios have 1 red(12v power) and 1 black (ground) for some reason they have 2 which f**** alot of things up when doing it your self

Well the red is ingnition 12v and theres a yellow wich is continuous 12v. You shouldn't have to use both grounds either.

Remember, the 08 doesn't have an acccessory turn. Your Kenwood will need it so it doesn't stay on when you turn off the truck. Def make sure you get a harness made for what ever year they started doing the canbus system (06?). It really shouldn't matter if its for a 1500 or not.
