Old Dodge Truck OEM Stereo... with BLUETOOTH?!?!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2021
- Can you have a tape deck, CD player... and Bluetooth in your old car or truck?! Check out #TheOldDodge playlist for more videos about my classic 1987 Dodge Ram D150.
I've had bad luck with eBay but if you want a similar radio check out 1factoryradio.com (NOT SPONSORED). They didn't have any for my truck, but hopefully they will in the future.
NOTE ABOUT THE END: So yeah... dropping the radio means I'll keep it. I may try and take it apart and fix it myself down the road. (It survived the drop on the concrete without a scratch!) Yes, if you buy a busted item on eBay you can get your money back sometimes. I had already returned and exchanged the radio once and that process took 5 weeks. At this point I didn't feel like going back and forth with the seller again. Time is more valuable than money.

Hey I threw a Mopar AM/FM CB radio in my 84 RC. That radio was optional with the Lil Red for example. I had it modified to bluetooth by a specialst and i would do it again. The design fits great in our old stile dash board!
Greetings from Germany where Ramchargers are pretty rare.
Awesome! Getting my working radio modified would be great. Maybe they could fix the tape deck as well.
@@JasonExplainsThings Talk to Ronald Finger here on youtube, the Fiero guy about tape deck resuscitation.
(my 90 D100) just bought an aftermarket radio last weekend. I haven't installed it yet. Two weekends ago, I rebuilt my front suspension. Day before yesterday I removed the seat and maintenance'd the seat slider track and replaced all the wiper bushings. Yesterday I descaled, wire-wheel'd, primered (etching) and bed line'r my truck (Six months ago I did all the u-joints, fyi)
Thats why I watch your channel, because you know as I do that you have to keep up with these older vehicles or they go downhill, quickly. The old adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" doesn't really apply here.
You have the best site when it comes to fixing the Gen 1 Dodge Ram. I appreciate this channel a lot. :)
Thanks Dennis. Also check out Decent Garage. He makes some awesome first gen videos. th-cam.com/channels/u4S5FDTmIZV241xjk2v7YA.html
I bought a radio like this for my 2005 trail blazer off ebay and had good luck. Was eyeing one for my old dodge. Hopefully when i get the cab sealed up enough to hear, and the rats nest in the hvac box cleaned out and working, ill have better luck with the radio. Thank you for this series. This is cool.
Hi Jason,
Thanks for the videos on the old truck! I have an 89 D100 318/500 loadflite. I restored my truck back to a factory radio when I bought it. I bought a used 5 channel/tape/cd to put in it. After a few months it had lost some of the lights and the power button was not in good shape. I happen to have my truck serviced at an actual Chrysler dealership, and they service manager told me they are constantly sending out radios to have them repaired and replaced for customers. So I had them do that to my unit and it came back perfect and has been working flawlessly for over 10 years now. So, there is an option if you're looking to keep it factory.
For the audio cable and bluetooth, I have a system that hooks into the antenna cable and when activated, takes over the lowest FM channel on my radio. It's a tiny little switch and 3.5 aux input at the bottom of my dash.
Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion. I may call my local dealer and ask if this is possible.
Looking forward to the u-joint video, pretty sure my '93 is still rocking the OEM joints from when it rolled off the assembly line.
Yep. Mine definitely still has the originals. 128k miles so it's about time.
I personally just received mine, and it works well, however it’s for a ‘96 RAM with the infinity insignia, and 5 band equalizer. 🤷🏻♀️
Sooooooooo happy u did another one!!!!!!!!
More to come. The Dodge will keep popping up.
NICE TRUCK and I must have toons to dance to.
It’s a tune from the TH-cam music library. But to me it’s the Old Dodge theme song!
Recently found an original radio for mine as well
hey i have a 89 ram charger and it has a bolt size of 5x5.5 and was wondering how to change the bolt size to 5x5
I'm sorry the new radio didn't work! I had been looking at some of those aftermarket radios for my '87 w150 and had been considering getting one. Now I know to stay away and not waste time with those, thanks Jason! Looking forward to more videos on the Dodge!
It’s all good. I’m just sticking with the radio with the crappy tape deck for now. On to more important things. 😂
Some of the factory stereos over years maybe need repinned for the example the correct one of the wires is the power wire battery wire, but could be in a different spot on the newer factory radio connection plug for the stereo
Smash it! ..the like button ..and the radio.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :-)
To bad it didnt work, that's why I dont like ebay anymore lol. Just found out yesterday my 318 in my 93 dodge has got a bad freeze plug. Now I gotta pull the entire motor out to fix the thing, my luck runs out very quick with this thing but I still love it.
Does anyone know where I can buy oem radio with bluetooth in 2022?
I have an 84 Dodge. I feel ya!
I'm trying to figure out in what sort of way did you show me or anyone how to integrate a Bluetooth to the circuit board on a dodge radio.
My d150 is a radio delete, so I just got a Marshall Bluetooth speaker and set it on the dash. At least that way I can take it out, and no one tries to break-in.
Who is going to try to steal a 30+ year old Chrysler radio?
@@hithere7382 if I put a stereo in it, it will be an easy $1000, and that will get stolen
Try plugging it in again. After you dropped it it might work now. I used to have an old 85 Lebanon and put a radio out a 2000 voyager in it because it had a CD player. Too bad it didn’t work out for you.
I may try and fix it later on. Dropping it on concrete didn't even scratch or dent it! :-)
So, I've found after buying four of these trucks, is the only real way to protect the inside of a bed is to put a camper topper on it. Possibly put in one of those old school rubber bed mats as well. They simply lay over the bed floor, instead of being painted on and hard to reverse.
Not a bad idea.
Oh on the ones that you have had issues with ive ran across a few one grey plug and one black plug that the wires are pinned slightly different than other years so you might look into that and see if that is a issue with the newer Chrysler stereo in your 86-88 dodge ram truck Jason sir, and i say that after owning a 74 dodge club cab truck, and a 90 dodge Dakota SE and the 2000 dodge ram and the 3 are not pinned correctly or the same is what I mean...
I just bought a radio like that but it has an aux port in it
Seriously. I can't get over that thumbnail, generally feel bad for you.
This one guy got scammed on ebay for buying a "sealed in box" Iphone 2g and have basically no emotion of anger,
(He didn't even return it and lost $1500)
Best of luck Jason, nice pickup!
It’s all good. I already returned one and there wasn’t a way to return it again. They seller was a dork. Sometimes it’s easier to just lose some money than try to get it back. I was 100% planning on sharing his business name and point people to his eBay store if he would’ve actually come through.
Do you have a video on hood cable or parking brake cable
Nope! Hasn’t broken yet. :-)
Did you ever get one of those Chrysler infinity cd player and cassette tape player stereo receiver with aux that actually works Jason sir?!
No. I never found a good deal so I got an aftermarket Sony deck for now. I’m holding out hope @retrosound makes a radio for the Dodge eventually. I also kept the deck with the defective tape player in case I want to go back to stock.
Did you eventually find a BT radio? My truck is identical (just not as nice) I need to add Bluetooth hands free. Thanks for your awesome vids!
Not yet. I just put the old radio back. I might try upgrading again soon.
Try the aftermarket probably even find this one I'm mentioning used Kenwood excelon cda x301 cd mp3 player stereo receiver with Bluetooth. I bought it used but it is refurbished from car toys on Amazon $67
This is may not be your problem and you probably have it fixed by now but on my old dodge it did the same thing. the radio wouldn’t work but the lights cane on like that. and figured out that it was just a blown radio fuse
I have that same stereo system in my truck, and I got Bluetooth.
I gave up on the idea.
Have you tried the "Local Pick n' Pull" Wrecking Yard in Tacoma?
Tried local ones, no luck. Only 2nd gen rams. :-)
I bought a known good service head unit from Daley deals on eBay out of Ohio gave $107 $115 with shipping?! Works great for a factory stereo receiver it doesn't have aux or Bluetooth but it absolutely works plays cds and cassette tapes great, sounds well I didn't say great because I am currently only using the front doors speakers but I have tested all the speaker channels and they work.. got it in 4 days I don't remember the serial number or model number on the top but it would be in my eBay purchase info so I can check.
My truck looks exactly the same except it’s silver instead of white
What kind of transmission are you running in that?
4 speed manual.
hello jason, im from argentina, my name is lucas. I own a D150 1981, do you know if the front grill can be updated for a nicer one ? like a 79?
Hmmm, not sure. I believe different “Ram” grills are interchangeable but I’m not sure about the 70’s trucks.
I have an 1987 150 . it has 1 speaker on the dash, I can not find a replacement. any ideas on where I can find a replacement speaker ? yours looks in great shape. ~ JDS/CT. ( 4X10 SPEAKER )
Yeah, your guess is as good as mine! I have that one speaker as well. Back in the 80's or 90's the first owner added 2 Pioneer speakers behind the seat and that's what I use. I want to test my original speaker and see if it still works... maybe use it for a CB or GMRS radio.
Woah! Found it! www.crutchfield.com/S-OQauj1I90y4/p_068D412UK/RetroSound-D-412UK-Dash-Speaker.html?XVINQ=GZ0&XVVer=WZD&awcr=628066565245&awdv=c&awnw=g&awug=1027811&awkw=pla-1831550260491&awmt=&awat=pla&gclid=CjwKCAjw8JKbBhBYEiwAs3sxNxTCh8OXgOBo_K6zezcmqQPoWLBidy9CKxFFCw8OWN0LhbCsP14J9BoCZU8QAvD_BwE
RetroSound is good stuff. I have one of their stereo's in my VW Beetle.
@@JasonExplainsThings thank you . I'll check that site . `JDS/CT
Mine doesn't even have a radio. It was radio delete. The panel was removed and a cb was installed but there has never been an antenna i n the fender or a speaker in the dash
I want to add a GMRS or CB radio some day and use the dash speaker for that.
@@JasonExplainsThings CBS are nice. Have one in my jeep
Where did you get the radio from
A shady seller on eBay. Would not recommend it.
Sorry about your luck man, have you tried a pick n pull place??
Yep, no luck.
@@JasonExplainsThings I feel that. Hard to find anything for old dodge trucks
Awww the classic Ebay crap shoot. Sorry it didn't work out!
It is what it is.
Hello! How can I set time on this radio?? 😅
No idea! Like programming a VCR… never figured it out. :-)
Hey the guy to look at for factory radios that get upgrades is Richard Blankenship and he does have a TH-cam channel that shows them working check him out and I hope he does a better job for you
$288.00!?
That could have bought 3 aftermarket decks!
I daily drive an 86 RWD V-8 Cheeseler, have for decades, love em', BUT!
The first thing I deep six is the OEM deck.
JVC, Pioneer, take your choice. Mine was $120.00.
You get hands free, with a microphone, two USB ports and features that take three sides of the box to list(a lot).
Your kids can plug in any hand held device made and my USB stick holds thousands of songs.
It also plays CDs and DVDs, though I cannot remember the last time I veered from my USB stick's play lists....and I'm a boomer that grew up on 8 tracks.
The last JVC head unit I put in seven years ago is still going strong and cranks out enough power that I didn't bother installing an amp this time.
Second tip? Take the factory 5X7 speakers and and fling em' into the nearest waterway.
Any Cheeseler vehicle that can fit 5X7s can have the holes hogged out(nibbler) to fit real 6X9s.
They don't just sound better, they're actually cheaper and WAY more plentiful than 5X7s, for choice.
Don't waste another dime on stock OEM head units or speakers ....they blow.

Who do we need to NOT buy a radio from? I have a 1986 Dodge B250 that I had a horrible experience with a mechanic that really messed her up. Good luck. I do need a stereo because the guy messed up the stereo
What?! No 8 Track? 😂
No 8 Track or minidisc!
I have a factory radio from a 98 u can put in it
Thanks for the offer! I recently bit the bullet and installed an aftermarket radio. It’s pretty subtle and classy I think. Got tired of trying to find good OEM radios on eBay.
@@JasonExplainsThings no problem if you change your mind let me know, It worked very well when I got my Dakota with 23000 miles. I ended up putting a double din in eventually and it really freshens up the interior.
Not.found
Well don’t buy a stock 2nd gen radio and you prolly wouldn’t have an issue
You’re a weirdo 😂
What?!?!?! 🤯
