Radio?

[shmoos]

This message is for the NJ members. I live in the Trenton area and just got a 2000 gray viper. I want to put a new radio in it. I have the radio already but want to know a good place to have it installed. My local dodge dealer said they would put it in as long as they didn't have to Cut the wiring harness. I have the harness kit. I beleive there hourly rate is $98. I am not a cheap person but if I can get it done for less per hour I will as long as the place that is doing it is profesional. I am will to drive if I have to. Please pm me if you know of anyplace.

I had the OE radio replaced in my '01 GTS with a new Alpine. Kept the OE amp and wiring to it. Took quite a bit of wire splicing to match new radio to old harnesses.

Good luck on your installer search.

And stand behind them and watch them if you can...

I was planing on standing behind them. I found a wiring harness that is suppose to work with the factory wiring harness.

The local Dodge dealer will do it. I just hope the harness i got works with the car. If not. then i will have to splice into factory wiring.

I keep you informed.

how many quarts for the 2000

You need to get a manual!

The 2000 had gotten the larger oil pan and the capacity is 10 quarts, but check the oil level before putting the last one in.

Thanks. I was looking into getting the royal Purple oil. I had good luck with it on my S2000 i had.

I would be interested in that adapter harness, as no one to my knowledge has ever been able to come up with one.

A Dodge dealer Viper Tech scratched the dash so badly on my 94 hooking up a factory CD player (actually he tried and then told me he could not make it work and he needed to send it out to a car stereo shop) that I had to replace the dash. I took it to Sound Advice and they got it installed and working, but they added a few scratches of their own. I think the CD player install was around $100, and then $470 for a new dash. And that was back when you could still buy a new 94 dash.

I am planning on putting the car in for the radio next week. I will let you know if the harness works like it says. I might even do it myself. Havnt decided yet. but ether way i will let you know if it works or not.

Just get the Mobil 1 10w-30. It is a great oil, I don't know why everyone tries to re-invent the wheel.

The pin outs on the OE DIN rear amp cable on my '01 GTS were as follows, as needed for my Alpine CDA-9885 head:

Red Unshielded - Front Right Audio
Yellow Unshielded - Rear Left Audio
Brown Unshielded - Ground All Channels
Gray Jacket Sub-Cable White - Front Left Audio
Gray Jacket Sub-Cable Red - Rear Right Audio
Gray Jacket Sub-Cable Shield - Remote Amp Turn On Signal
Black Unshielded - Unused

nice color choice! sweet isn't it? watch it change colors depending on the light

I would be interested in the wiring harness adapter as well. The only thing I have been able to find is the 16 pin adpater to hook up an Alpine head unit, which is a female connector. I have not been able to find the radio replica,(male connector).

Let us know if it works.

I wonder whatever happened to this... I have reason to suspect the harness adapter didn't work. I haven't been able to find squat.
