Factory Radio Question - 5/8/2008 1:15:25 PM    Ryan2008   Posts: 7 Joined: 1/22/2008 Status: offline My 06 Dakota has the standard single disk CD player, I'd like to purchase a used 6 disk MP3 player. 1) Will this swap easily, same harness, mounting holes, ect? 2) Will I need an un-lock code for the radio?

You shouldnt need an unlock code,  but in the event that you do,  just ask the prior owner. _____________________________ 2006 SLT 4X4 Quad cab V8. My Cardomain Page (in reply to Ryan2008) Post #: 2

If you are looking for a deal on one let me know. I supose thats provided the 08's and 06's are compatable. Its brand new, I just bought the truck a couple weeks ago. _____________________________ 2005 RAM REG CAB LONG BED 4X4 LARAMIE WHITE 2008 DAKOTA CREW CAB 4X4 LARAMIE V8 WHITE 2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN Z71 4X4 5.3L WHITE (in reply to ericemery) Post #: 3
