I'm thinking of upgrading the radio in my 98 Ranger since I've got a 2019 Jeep as my daily driver I've enjoyed the touchscreen radio. I wasn't aware you could add it to the Ranger or maybe it's too much trouble. I watched some videos of owner's adding bluetooth, dvd, carplay compatible radios in Rangers. It appears out of every one I've watched they had to cut the radio bezel. Is there any brand of radio that will fit without having to cut anything? If I can I want it to have dvd/cd/navigation/radio features. I see some that even come with back up cameras which I've got on my Jeep but not necessary on a Ranger. How complicated is it compared to installing just an aftermarket cd player? I did that years ago but have switched back to factory radio once that one failed. It also doesn't have to be the most expensive or fanciest one since it's a work truck but it gets driven a lot. I'm wondering if these knock off brands on ebay will work? I've got the factory Premium 80-watt radio in there now that works great although mine was originally a standard am/fm/cassette so there's no amplifier. I don't think there even was an amp on a 98 anyway but even the speakers are factory.
wh23g3g,
Where did this go ?
Which radio did you buy ?
How did the install go ?
