I attempted to put a new head unit in my 2001 SLT CC last winter. I ended up not putting the head unit in because it didn't look right. Like kevster said, crutchfield is very helpful for finding parts. Try calling their help line, good people answering the phones for free advice.

As for the removal of the stock radio, you need to take the facing off the whole dash. It isn't necessarily hard, but you have to be careful and go slow so you don't break anything. I wish I had the site address, but I have seen a website where a guy has diagramed the whole process for removing the dash in a Dakota. Once you get the dash removed, there are just four (i think) bolts holding the head unit in and then a couple of wires in the back that you just unplug. Not too difficult really. Good luck!

DC changed the layout of the stereo in 2001. You won't be able to find a 1.5DIN that has the rounded edges yet. You can buy a 1DIN unit and buy the spacer and it should work for you.
