Hi,
Trying to replace my basic radio in my 2012 Express with a Pioneer AVH-X3600BHS. Obviously it doesn't fit! Trimmed enough of the plastic dash but now hits the metal bracket deeper in the dash. From my measurements it is about 1/4" difference.

I'm sure I will need to "trim" some sheetmetal but how did you guys get in there to cut it out?
Did you just cut a vertical slit and bend it over?
Do you take even amounts off top and bottom to keep the face centered?

Any help is appreciated !

2009 - 2012 Ram radios are all the same size

This video is with a pre 2009 Ram, so yours will be a bit different

MOSTLY go to the Crutchfield website
enter your truck info
it will have things to check off & when you go through the list of radios & find the one that you bought,
Go to the INFO on how to install

Good Luck

Got a small hand held hacksaw and cut the corners but no way in he11 is the sheetmetal going to bend over??

Do I just need to buy a saz-all and hack that sheetmetal out?
