posted this before but gona see if any one has more info
any one install a after market headunit in a 2005 dodge ram with infinity sound with out bypassing the infinity amp?

 

I installed an Eclispe H/U in my 05 Ram 3500 Diesel, but I bypassed the infinity amp simply because the factory system sounds horrible with all the EQ built in to the stock system (it's programmed in the amp). From what I was told it is also a huge pain to access the amp, so I figured why bother.

Here is a post with some infromation regarding the systems in our trucks, kind of interesting.

I installed an Eclispe H/U in my 2000 and have the stock amp powering the back infinity sound set up
what do you need to know ?

 

2000 is simple
2005 dosent have a remote turn on wire for the amp
when you bypassed the amp did all the speackers work like the dash speackers?

 

shouldn't a 12v acc. wire be easy enough to run

i mean there isent a wire on the factory harness to to power up the infinty amp. just the databuss wires

 

I understood what you said. I was just commenting on if bypassing the factory amp, and needed a remote turn on for the new amp, they are easily ran from any 12v acc source.

ok i misunderstood you,

 

ok, here's the scoop.

2003-2005 infinity system in dodge ram is fun, it uses a fixed audio output from the headunit. all volume/tone and fader/balance is done at the amp itself. there really isn't anything that can be done at the moment. No one has a module that can accomidate this (unlike for the GM Bose in the 04-06 trucks)

Why are you wanting to change the headunit?

 

He wants a in dash dvd headunit combo
yea, guess bypass the amp it is lol
some one told me a headunit adapter harness from a hyundai would fit the output side of the amp?
is the amp behind the glove box?
