Having confusions about changing the OEM Chrysler into an aftermarket radio? Are you experiencing problems in replacing the OEM Chrysler radio to a after market radio? It is actually a very easy task to achieve this task, provided you are sure about the various techniques and common components of the radio. Even if you are not sure about this, it will not take much time to know about this and then initiate the changing process. The wire diagram can be found in the manual or if you do not have the manual in your hands, then you can possibly download the wire diagram by incorporating a search in Google.
Removing the OEM Chrysler
First step involved in changing the OEM Chrysler radio involves the removal of the component. It is possible to remove this unit just by pulling. Sometimes, it is essential to use the special tools to remove the unit. This should be done when the OEM radio is rigidly fixed. Care should be taken when using the tools such that they do not damage the wiring of the OEM unit. It is necessary to segregate the wires without mixing. By using the wire diagram, it is possible to identify the various wires that have the potential to be reused while fixing the aftermarket radio. Removal of this unit will not take much time, if you are able to proceed in a proper manner.
Mounting of aftermarket radios
Mounting of aftermarket radios can be done in two methods. First method is the ISO mounting and the second method is the ring mounting. This can be used when it is possible to screw the radio into the brackets present in the dash. In the ring mounting method, there is a ring made up of metal that will get fit into the hole of the OEM Chrysler radio or one can utilize the aftermarket kit to fix it into the hole present in the dash. Most of the cars have the ring type mounting. If the OEM radio is fixed rigidly into the hole, there is a necessity to use the special tools that will enable it to be removed.
Procedure for installing the aftermarket radio
By following the original wiring diagram that is available in the manual or by downloading it through the internet, strip and snip the power and accessory. Then ground the various wires that are found from the old radio settings, this is a safety measure that will provide protection. The antenna adaptor should be connected. It is essential that the antenna adaptor is connected to get proper reception. After installing the adaptor, everything should be snapped together.
If you experience difference in sizes between the size of the aftermarket radio set and the holes in the dash, it is essential to fine tune the size of the radio. If the hole is not deep enough, use special tools to increase the depth of the hole. If the size of the hole is greater, then special kit is required to adjust to the size. Don't throw away the OEM radio since it will be of use when you decide to sell the car.
