Watch a full tutorial as a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan (non-Infinity System) will have a Pioneer DEH-X4900BT Single Din Bluetooth Radio installed.

This model was not equipped with factory steering wheel controls which didn't need to be retained.
This video applies to Dodge Grand Caravan / Chrysler Town & Country models for years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. This video also includes dash trim and stereo removal, complete installation, wiring, and testing.

Hey any way you can do this on one that has infinity sound?
I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan, and this was mostly the same, I had a different harness, it was the standalone, not the dual as shown here. Everything else was the same. Thank you Provo Beast Audio!
I have a 2006 and the harness i ordered didnt fit. Could you link the one you bought?
Yeah this definitely should if been clarified. I believe 01 had the two separate harness
This video was so helpful! The only thing different was that I needed an antenna adapter. Thank you, so much!
Cool,I hope mine turns out,alright, the guy installing it seems confident enough, thsts a clue hes done 1 or 2 Radio installs with success
Great video, straight to the point and very helpful. A couple small steps were skipped over but nothing major. Very good job!
I ponder of something great / my lungs will fill and then deflate / They fill with fire, exhale desire, I know its dire my time today;
I have these thoughts so often I ought to replace that slot with what I once bought cause somebody stole my car radio
and now i just sit in silence
Thank you..I'll be changing my AC and you helped me figure out how to get to it.
Was there no factory amp to bypass?
Many thanks Buddy! Worked like a charm. Prbably the fastest radio installation I have ever done.
nice close ups on your hand
Excellent instructional video!! Thank you!!
My factory radio has a 6 CD changer towards the bottom of the housing
Great vid man thanks so much Iv been fixing my van during quarantine could not figure it out thanks
Great video!
This appears to be a van WITHOUT the Infinity audio system.
Please see the description of the video.
I think it as got a amp what little black wire on mine is the amp neg the red is the live turn on.
Man thanks a lot, during this quarantine, I decided to do it, and it was really easy with your video ! Thanks a lot, very clear and understandable ;)
Cheers!
Hi, was there no factory amp in your vehicle? Only I thought this doesn’t work when you have the factory amp left in the vehicle? Thanks in advance
Just did this to a 2007 dodge grand caravan. No issues works great.
Like you said the steering wheel controls dont work.
Impressed with how easy it was.
I need to find the other harness so i can use my dvd player. Any suggestions?
Different year models have different harnesses. This needs to be clarified. Besides that good video
Connection harness changed after 2003 but good vid
Have a 2001 town and country and I'm not getting any sound out of aftermarket raido ?
You may have a factory amplifier that isn't turning on with the new radio. I'd try connecting the blue / white wire on the aftermarket harness to the new radio.
Thanks for the amazing video!
Sucks my kit didn't come with the part for the ground cable
Nice ,I'm giveingi ng it a try.
No sound coming out of my speakers.
Ever get it figured out? I’m having the same issue in my Chrysler town and country
It was the fuse in the front ride side of the fuse box.
Nathan Bosworth I found a forum post from 2009 and we figured it out, thank you for the response !
Can anyone tell me, what wiring harness you need, so your DVD player continues to play sound through the speakers? Is it the same wiring harness in the video, or a different one?? I don't want to buy the wrong harness. But I can't find a video anywhere on TH-cam, where someone has a DVD player in a Grand Caravan like we do!
Thank you for this!
Good video very educational
Subscribe!
you cant just take that rounded bracket thing off the factory stereo?
Very well done, thank you.
My 2006 Dodge Grand caravan, has problem with maybe a false contact somewhere, the Bluetooth works on and off, same for auxiliary connections, when problem occurs I'm left with only the radio working but nothing else
At 3:47 you say "this guy came out" which sort of looks to be a brown wire, maybe? Anyway, it was the only connector you didn't really identify and you didn't use it when you installed the new receiver. Can you tell me what that wire is for? Factory steering wheel audio control wire, perhaps? Thank you.
Where can I buy rhis kit???
I'm really looking for a good kit for my caravan
What if you have a amplifier in your vehicle and don't get no sound how do you get it to work having that issue with a 2004 chrysler pacifica
What if there is a factory amp how do you get the sound on
Douglas Carter the amp I assume is inside The radio and did you ever have any issue with this vehicle
I’m having the same issue no sound but the radio works. Where does the data white wire for the computer go?
Thanks a lot for the video. I have a question, does the wheel controls still work with the change of the autoradio?
This van wasn't equipped with steering wheel controls, but if it was, you would need a separate module to allow you that functionality with a radio thats compatible. Modules like the Axxess ASWC-1 would allow you to keep those buttons functional on the steering wheel.
@@ProvoBeastAudio i have a caravan 07 with steering controls. How can i find a compatible stereo for it? What i should be looking for?
How would you go about this in a 05 T&C with external 6disk/DVD changer?? Please if anyone know let me know.. Thank you.
Will this be the same as the 2005 dodge grand caravan with the infinity audio system
My 01 harness adapter has the middle white wire saying auto volume...? Either way i hooked it to the other solid white however i get no sound i have the lxi t&c. Thoughts?
Do I have to bypass my satellite receiver to install aftermarket stereo or will the replacement harness do that?
I'm not too savvy but I'm going to learn.. Can you install a double din stereo on a 2003 caravan? I'd have to buy the dash piece right? Or do I only do single din stereo?
Hey, installing this radio, did you loose the dvd player? And second question wll be, which radio can i pick so i dont loose dvd?
I don't think you can, I inherited a 2001 T&C and the factory stereo died after only a few years, so my dad put in an aftermarket, but from then on the CD changer didn't work. I tried looking for a radio that will communicate with the factory CD 4 disk changer but found nothing. I bought a used factory stereo and I am in the process of installing it. If you find a solution let me know-hope this helps
What about full speaker replacement?
I don't know if you will see this comment.. But it would of been more helpful to show how you put wires together than skipping it.. Because I'm at a loss trying to put mine together

@@ProvoBeastAudio THANKYOU!!
these does not work for dodge caravan 2005 complete different
My dodge has a dvd player how do i plug it in?
Is there a reason someone might have installed the stereo improperly and now it is draining the battery, causing the van not to start?
That's the blue wire, aka remote wire. It turns the radio off when there is no key in the ignition. Otherwise it would still be "live".
I have 2005 Chrysler Town and Country, it has a DVD player installed in it from the factory. I'm wondering if replacing the radio will affect or disable the DVD player in any way. Thoughts?
Ben Duckett i need a code for set up stereo of grand caravan 2008
Can I put a 2 Din in my 2003 Town and Country minivan?
I installed my aftermarket stereo but it makes a funny sound when i turn the volume up to 23
If you have a factory amplifier, that could be the issue.
My 2002 adapter is nothing like that
can you still use your buttons on the side of the steering wheel to control the radio?
Yes, although this model didn't have them equipped. You will need this adapter additionally to make it work: www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22808_Axxess-ASWC.html Use coupon code ProvoBeast to save some cash at checkout.
Any idea why I wouldn't have any sound after install? None. I'm baffled.
You may have the factory infinity system, and if so, you need to hook up the blue wire to your radio's blue / white wire.
Dougie Doug no you can't until you buy a separate piece of hardware
My 2005 dodge grand caravan stereo stopped playing any sound. Just below the stereo is the DVD player too. I guess there is no fuse to replace in the back of stereo? Or do I have to buy a new stereo..
Well if the radio isn't turning on, generally it is a fuse. But if the stereo and DVD player boots up but no sound, sounds like an issue with your radio. There isn't fuses on the back of the factory radio, unless it is an aftermarket one. Factory fuses are in the fuse panel.
Provo Beast Audio Installation ya the DVD player is separate down below. It plays dvds still but no sound. As for the stereo. The radio has no sound. And no sound for cds.i checked fuses in the engine. Replaced 1 that says "rdo" assuming it means radio fuse?
Not sure, sounds like you may need to take it to an audio shop to diagnose. Too hard to do so through youtube comments.
Provo Beast Audio Installation ok 1 more question to bug you. If I buy an after market stereo. Do they have hookups for my DVD player to plug into?
Well depends on how the factory one is wired. Check with sonic electornix as they may have kits available to retain that feature.
Donde puedo conseguir ese adaptador
Leslie Jaqueline Lugo Alvarado eso lo venden en Walmart. Solo que quizás no se oiga. Yo llevo mucho tiempo en eso y no he podido ponerle un stereo a mi town country. Porque no se escuchan las bocinas. Ya tienes la solución?
I would like to do this in my van, I was wondering if it will still play through all 6 speakers. Thanks
Yep, should play just fine through all 6.
Cool, thanks!
What trim you have kinda matters, Infinity speaker systems are amped and will cause problems/complicate.
so will a oem dvd changer.
Even with the infinity systems, the factory amp takes the 4 channel signal from the radio and still will retain the factory tweeters. It doesn't complicate it either, as this model still uses the same harness adapter, regardless of the amplified infinity system or not.
Yeah i just looked up the wiring and you're totally right, thought it was wired like my Audi with Bose which is a total mess to do anything with.
Actually did a amp, Pioneer 5.25" in the dash and 4 Ground Zero 6x9" in my wifes 06 GV yesterday and it was so easy to do I'm kinda shocked.
What about that bonding strap? I didn't see you hook that back up?
The factory boding strap had mainly two purposes, provided an additional ground as well as used as an additional level of security. There was really no point to hooking it up to the new radio, although if you really want to, i guess you could.
What did you do with the heavy duty Ground Strap? And is it necessary to use both the ground wires?
Heavy Duty ground strap i just left back behind the dash. Just connect the main ground wire (black wire) and you should be good.
Thanks man :)
Alpines, when in doubt buy Alpine speakers!
2007 Chrysler Town and Country radio looks nothing like that the wiring is completely different
Certain town and country's require the Metra 70-6502 Harness adapter if they don't have the infinity system. If you do, you will need the Metra 70-6504 harness.
my new alpine does not have any soiund
If you have the factory amplified system, ensure the blue or blue / white wire on the car harness adapter is connected to your new radio's blue / white wire.
Could you put in a double din touch screen?
Yes, but it requires you to replace the entire dash bezel. Something like this: www.amazon.com/CARAVAN-COUNTRY-Stereo-Installation-Double/dp/B06VWXY51W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1508991032&sr=8-5&keywords=Dodge+Caravan+double+din+dash+kit
Provo Beast Audio Installation thank you, I'm looking to buy a 07 tomorrow and that was my desideing factor
on a 2005 model town and country will work regardless if is factory amp installed??
Yep, same wiring harness.
NIce! thanks and thanks for the promo code ,just order my stero on soniceletronix!!
You didn't bother to connect anything to the extra connector. I can find zero information on what to do with it.
Generally, that small extra connector is for steering wheel volume controls (which this van wasn't equipped with). We didn't have a need to use it so we tucked it behind the radio.
Habla español
Moyses Cruz al parecer no. Ya usted resolvió?
Ajaaaa ahora habla en español jiji no entiendo nada
how did you bypass the factory amp
We didn't, it was retained with the new radio.
