Metra Double-DIN Dash Kit for Ram/Chrysler/Jeep — Matte Black 95-6518B, ABS, Includes Brackets & Hardware

This installation kit converts factory radio openings to accept modern Double-DIN head units while preserving the dashboard’s OEM look. It is precision-molded from high-grade ABS and finished in scratch-resistant matte black to blend with original interior trim. The kit includes brackets, hardware and step-by-step instructions, but does require sub-dash modifications to the factory cavity for a secure fit.

How does this dash kit simplify installing an aftermarket radio?

The Metra kit provides the structural frame and mounting points needed to secure a Double-DIN radio where the factory unit sat, eliminating the need to fabricate a custom bezel. Pre-formed openings and included brackets speed up alignment and mounting while maintaining a factory-like appearance.

• Standard 4" tall Double-DIN opening for most aftermarket radios
• Mounting brackets and hardware included to secure the radio
• Pre-shaped bezel reduces trimming and fitment guesswork
• Instruction sheet guides the modification and mounting process
