I obtained a nice 5220 with a cab this week but the radio was not installed at the original purchase. I have read the two threads that say a regular auto DIN 1 radio will work so I don't have to shell out $700 to JD Parts for an overpriced Delco unit. I'm a little unclear on the wiring connections. I would assume that with a tech sheet on the cab wiring harness, a set of wire cutters and some wire connectors that I could bypass the connectors on the harness and the radio and bug the correct wires together to make the radio functional. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Your experience would be helpful. Also, do you really need an exterior or could one be connected to the rear of the radio and left in the radio box? Thanks!
