Need some advice here from any radio smart guys....

Will this radio off ebay fit into my 1998 Dakota?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7979369615&category=38641&sspagename=WDVW

It's a factory radio from a newer 300M and I really like the looks of it. My guess is no, but I want to know for sure. Thanks.

I just found it it's the same kind of radio in the 05 Dakotas if that's any help.

easiest way to find out....

cross reference the aftermarket kits and harness for both vehicles...if they match, then yes....



skip ahead a bit...the faces should be contoured different, so no....

No, it will not fit or even work in a '98. That radio only works in new CAN-Bus Chrysler vehicles.

Nope. The 2002-2005 "Round-face" J1850 radios and the 2004-up CAN radios use the same 22-pin connector. Even so, a CAN radio won't work in a J1850 vehicle, and vice versa.

I've got a factory Am/FM/CD player from my 2003 Dak sitting in my closet.

I removed it as soon as I got the truck. never thought of selling it. But now that I've modded my dash to the extent that i now have, I may never use it.
