How do you remove the radio in a 2002 dodge ram 1500 pickup?

Not sure but a 2001 Dodge 1500 is easy. Gently pull the dash bexell off - it has about 10 retaining points. Just pull gently, it'll come. I had to put the tilt wheel allthe way down and the gearshift in low to get the bezel clear off the wheel. There are 2 bolts mounting the radio - pretty easy. The hard part for me was reattaching the antenna. It plugs into the back but the line is short. I had to remove one of the little storage cubbyholes ( another two bolts) on the right side of the radio to get access.

DOn't really know how different a 2002 is from an 01 - but I'm guessing its not much different

I used a putty knife and placed it at each retainer location and gave a sudden tap at each point. If you try to gently pry you will crack the bezel. I cracked my slightly then used a putty knife. Went back in easily.

This guy sells the best radio removal instructions on the net. Photos and step by step. I think he charges $4 and gives you an immediate download.
