I’ve dove back into the DSM world and am sorta trying to recreate the car I purchased in 1992.

The radio that I had in the car is the one pictured. This radio, that I found local, is from a 92-93 Dodge Stealth. I’ve looked through the noob forum and the electrical forum but didn’t see anything pertaining to this. I did see some information concerning the radio codes from 2002 or so. Back in ‘92 I remember purchasing the car with the radio pictured. I then bought the double DIN unit from a wreck so that I could have the CD unit in the dash. I remember it all being plug and play. That was 32 years ago. My question is if anyone has successfully transplanted this radio into a 1g DSM (Laser) and did they have to do anything “special”?

Ultimately, I’d like to send the radio out and have Bluetooth added. I know a modern head unit would fix all my problems, but I like originality and sentimentality.

Hello, i know this is a late reply to a half year old question, but i was wondering, did you succeed in installing this radio in your Laser? Im interested in installing the same radio in my 2G Eclipse, i think it should be plug and play assuming the plug connector for that radio is the same as mine (i have a single din original radio, the Type 1 that has AM/FM Cassette Tape player with anti-theft (code basically). I think its a single plug, from what i understand early 90s DSMs and Chrysler/Mitsu’s used a 2 plug connector, and mid to late 90s ones used a single plug connector. The radio in your pictures looks like the exact one im looking for to do the same radio swap in my 2G so thats why i ask if you succeeded in installing it without much trouble or if it was plug and play.

I was able to make a harness that bridged the eclipse two plug connector plugs to the later one plug connector and it worked fine. The connectors were found easily on eBay.

Been doing some research on the Chrysler/Mitsu radios of 1G 2G era since i’ve been meaning to get the same radio you have, which if im not wrong is a non-Infinity radio, and thus the amp should be internal. I learned there’s a radio exactly like the one you have but with 2 plugs from earlier Dodge Stealths / 3000GTs, in fact there’s a guy on ebay who has one listed still if im not mistaken. The 2 plug connector should be plug and play i would think to your 1G, but that’s irrelevant since you got your radio harnessed. Anyways how does the radio you have connected function for you? Do the equalizer sliders work well? I really like the idea of getting myself this same radio since it has a cassette tape player, the analog equalizer, and the aux port, speaking of, how does the aux port work for you, do you connect a phone and play music thru the cars speakers? I imagine it was intended to work alongside cd players and maybe sony walkmans, but if you can connect say an iphone to it via usb-c or lightning cable to aux and play music thru apple music or spotify and it just works i think that’d be really swell. These images i got from 3Si, i just added the annotations for reference. I’m 99% sure that the radio in my 2G is the exact same radio in the first image bottom left, the single din, i believe the plug connector is exactly like the one on your radio, a single plug rather than a 2 plug, so thats mostly why i think it’d be plug and play in my scenario. If i ended up with a 2 plug connector i’d need to do the same thing you did but in the opposite manner, making a single plug to 2 plug harness, assuming i get an earlier radio.
