I'm not sure what to tell you here. I didn't know that Chrysler
used anything weird for the antenna. When I did my '96 Dakota, I
didn't need any sort of adapters, everything just plugged right in.
When I installed an aftermarket radio in my Dart this summer, the 1970
antenna cable plugged right into the back of it. Both vehicles had
an antenna connector which looked exactly like what Crutchfield is
calling a Motorola plug.
I don't think you'll need any special adapters, but maybe someone
else who is more into car audio will be able to chime in, or it might
be worthwhile giving Crutchfield's tech support line a call. Maybe
Chrysler decided to get stupid and create their own proprietary
connectors. They hadn't as of 1996 which is the last year I have
experience with, but that is over 10 years ago after all. :-)
