Need factory radio advice, I may have factory cd for sale !

First of all I have a 96 RT/10 with a factory am/fm cassette and the factory amp in the trunk. The system sounds like crap of course and I was planning on adding an amp or 2 and a footwell sub with upgraded speakers. I did however want to use a factory Viper stereo in my car with a cd player.

I purchased from ebay this radio:

The unit looks good and I was pleased, until pulled my radio out. The plugs are completely different. This radio is from a Gen II car from my understanding a 2000 model. So my problem is what do I do now ? My current system(radio) has front and rear RCA jacks and a 6 pin plug in. The Alpine CD has like a 16 pin plug in and an 8 pin round connector I think. If this can be adapted great but if not I will just sell this alpine unit and replace with an aftermarket one.

Give me some thoughts.

not much help but the stock CD wasnt brilliant back in 2000 it must of been the bottom of the Alpine range, if gonna spent bucks on other parts of the install I'd get a better head unit, with much newer technology in it

I guess there's away around your wiring problem

What spray said, aftermarket setups always have accessory wires that you will not used. Someone with experience can wire that thing up in 5 minutes.

Ask your mechanics if you can upgrade to the new Mopar RB1 Navigation System (current accessory for Viper SRT-10).

You can always re-sell it on ebay. Let me know how much you would want for it.
