Direct replacement head unit for 02 RT/10?

[GTS21]

Id like to get a newer head unit in my 02 RT/10 with bluetooth and iPod connectivity. Im not looking to replace speakers or other components. Is there a unit out there that just replaces the original head unit without re-wiring? Thanks

I just replaced my head unit, but it will be hard to find one that connects to the original DIN connector. I cut the original connector off, and spliced into the original wires (it's not that difficult, as the stock cd deck has a wiring diagram on a sticker, and you can easily check continuity with a multimeter to figure out any unknowns). I kept the stock amp and speakers, as I'm not an audio fanatic. Sounds great to me

Crutchfield is your best bet.

Thanks. Was just checking out the site. Nice to be able to search by car model.

Any single din unit should fit into the viper

I went with an Alpine unit as it still used the same style connector as the factory unit. I only had to move a few pins in the harness. Not having the cut the harness was important to me at the time.

I think Alpine has gone to a different style connector now.

Are you referring to the DIN connector, too, or the power connector only? I am just wondering if the DIN connector was used in other Alpine head units as well??
