My daughter has her OEM radio that was swapped out for a real one. I'm
an AM, talk radio guy with a dead radio. Is it an easy swap?
TIA

Most of the Chrysler radios used the same mounting convention from the
mid 1980's until the late 1990's. For your van, there are two mounting
tabs. The first one is located in on the upper right corner, and mounts
to the right. The second one is located on the lower left corner, and
points down. If your Neon radio is setup this way, it will probably
work. The Stratus/Breeze/Cirrus, has a lower mounting tab points to the
left.

If her's is an Infinity radio and yours was not, you can't swap them since
the
wiring is different. (plugs are the same, though, but electrically they are
different)

I have a OEM Chrysler AM/FM radio, non-infinity that I picked up at a
wrecker for about $5, I don't know if it works. It was an opportunistic
grab
since I can't use it in my vehicles (both of which are Infinity-wired).
Your
welcome to it if you need it.

Hers is a CC model P04858584AH. In the rear, it has an 8 pin
connection and 2, 7 pin connectors, 1 for feed (Gray) and the other for
speakers (Black). There is a threaded hole in its upper center and 2
prongs, whose purpose I'm clueless to, on the upper left rear. The
antennae connection is at the upper left, looking at the rear of the
radio.

That radio will fit and play in the vehicle

Hi,

That radio has the new style mounting tabs, the part # your giving,
if this is a pic here:

Electrically it may work, but I do not believe it will mount in.

The threaded hole in the upper center is a mounting bracket hole. The 8
pin connector I believe is for a plug that can go to an optional amplifier
or
line in/out put. The 2 prongs go to a connector to the CCD bus that allow
a chrysler drb scantool talk to the radio.

Here's the radio I have, notice the difference in mounting brackets:

This is the old style mounting tabs which is what you have in your 94.
As I mentioned, you can have mine for free. I don't know if it works
of course, no way to test. As long as your speakers do not say
Infinity my radio will work fine for you.

There's a lot of OEM radios on Ebay, you can look at others to see
what is out there.

I would also recommend you hold on to her radio if she doesen't want
to. One of these days she will sell or otherwise dispose of her car, and
at that time she will want to get her new radio back out, then you can
put the old one back in.

them out, but I'll most certainly keep your generous offer in mind.

make sure the problem is the radio ... there is a powered speaker relay that
goes out and can cause the sound not to work ... In my case, for a 1990 I
bought a replacement scrap yard radio only to find it was the relay. A
fairly low cost and easily replaceable part.
