Not sure if you are interested or not but i was able to mount my GPS in the dash in the area where there would be a tweeter and works great. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the suggestion! Someone on another board said the same thing and I will definitely try that out. Is it easy to get that piece off?

I am headunit-less.

Run an amp for my sub and another amp for my door speakers. The only thing I'll miss is on the rare occasion I need to tune into the Steelers when I can't catch the game at home..

Anyone recommend a USB radio device?

very nice install. i have a 06 ram qc. i hope to do a similar install. i also plan on placing the pc under the middle seat. its great place. i am planning on doing a 7" widescreen in mine. i think it will just fit. dodge changed around the bezel that year so its a little different, but i think its doable. did you do any audio upgrades (speakers, amps)? keep up the great work.

Thanks.. Yes, I have a 12" Kenwood sub run by a kicker amp, polk rears and Infinity Kappas in the front.. Door speakers are run by a 4 channel RF500x.

Sweet Install!

What kind of Nav software/GPS are you using?

I have an '04 Ram that I am thinking about adding some type of on board pc to. I am currently using a Jotto Desk, Notebook, DeLorme BlueLogger, X-Map, and Street Atlas. I would love to have an integrated system so I don't have to lug the notebook and power inverter around, and have the Jotto in my way.

Thanks..

I use a Rikaline 6010 USB GPS and run Iguidance nav software.

I am blown away by this install! I have a '03 QC that I am now eyeballing doing this exact install on. I have a XPC mini PC that I would use for the install. The only thing I am not understanding is how the PC mobo is powered. What are they using to power a P4 processor? I have a million questions now...thanks!!!
