Okay…to hold the confusion down…this is an OLD VIDEO. It was made around January 28th-Feb 3rd, 2009 before the van’s engine failed. The van has NOT been …

I heard you have to do something with the speakers. Did you have any issues
with that?

emilygrae says:

Thanks! It took just a little longer to install than it took to watch your
video, after seeing where all the screws were to the dang front plate!

Does the buttons on the steering wheel work with the new radio?

snowcatns says:

Vehicles bearing the Chrysler Voyager nameplate were briefly sold in the
United States from 2001–2003 as a rebadged version of the short-wheelbase
(SWB) variant of the Plymouth Voyager following the 2001 folding of the
Plymouth division of DaimlerChrysler AG.

it’s amazing how much you have to take a part, just to install a stereo…
=) My buddies and I are getting ready to install a new stereo in a 86
suburban. We are lucky that we will be replacing the stock one, so the
wiring harnesses should be intact. My truck on the other hand is a maze of
scotch locks and so many other assorted wiring crimes, that the previous
owner should be put on trial

have you ever had a problem with that car with the fuel system or it not
starting ’cause ive got a ’97 of theat exact same van but i cant get it to
turn over it’ll crank the engine but it wont turn over

bradq says:

my kenwood only played through one speaker and sounded like a tin can. put
the stock radio back in and it works fine. I would like to at least put my
speakers rockford speakers in but there are 5 wires going to the speakers
where my rockfords have only two jacks? wassup with that?

i had the same radio on my 1993 Plymouth Voyager ^0^ sadly it got donated
for cancer research :/ but i still kept the radio

uxwbill says:

@Pavivel I don’t think it has one, though I suppose it could have been
offered as an option.

uxwbill says:

I can’t offer you much help if you’re not specific about what you have
(factory or aftermarket stereo) and if you have made any mistakes in
wiring. If you got the wiring wrong, especially if you reversed the
positive and negative power connections, the radio is probably damaged and
will require repairs.

Nice video! I just changed out the radio in my 2000 Voyager (same tape deck
issue)! A few notes from my experience: 1) The AC knobs did not have to be
removed. (Watch out — one has a ball bearing you might lose.) 2) The
screws were hex type, so I had to get out my socket set. (3/8″) 3) The
ground had a 1/4″x20 screw going straight into the factory radio. I bought
a ring crimp and a nut to attach the new ground. Thanks for the vid! Screw
locations were very helpful (especially the bottom two!)

MrOne2watch says:

well i won’t say its good to see the van running. LOL but it’s nice to see
that dodge still kept using the ever so loved short antenna cables comming.
i have had 3 of those dodge/Chrysler vans. from the late 80’s models to the
late 90’s models. and after all the bad words i said they still use the
same cable…. did you ever have electrical trouble with yours? one of mine
caught fire and burnt to the ground. after about two weeks of a new
battery. which i think was the cause of the fire…

uxwbill says:

@thepaashaas Yes, it is. I would hazard a guess that it could live up to
its name because it is driving the factory speakers. Turn it up high enough
and they’d probably explode!

Mytechtime says:

circuit city? they closed in 2009

uxwbill says:

For this particular van, look for an installation kit that will fit any of
the Plymouth Reliant or Dodge Aries cars…the mounting kit is *exactly*
the same, as is the wiring harness adapter. You may have better luck
specifying a Dodge Caravan. It seems that not many people are aware that a
*Chrysler* branded Grand Voyager *did* exist.

CWM880 says:

@CWM880 speaking of my question whats your mom going to do…… keep
driving the buick or switch back to the Plymouth?

andymadshood says:

Can you please show us how you fix the cassette deck that you took from the
car please

clubcar98 says:

“Her radio, just a little old cassette player has decided, probably out of
self defense, given the kinda crap she listens to…” LOL! That is
hilarious. Interesting how they did not change the wires much…but seemed
to turn out just the same. Too bad I did not take advantage of any Circuit
City bankruptcy deals back then…

tubageek2006 says:

I know the van is now dead. are there any plans to fix it? if not you can
do what we did with our 89 grand caravan with 375,000 miles on the original
motor and transmission. We put it in the back yard and used it as a storage
unit. Out of curiosity, did you enjoy driving the van. When ours worked it
drove great

uxwbill says:

@mazda3guy00 I’m glad you enjoy the videos we make. Thank you for watching.
Do feel free to drop in and comment or write a private message any time.

grindstr says:

Just wondering… Because I had the same problem with the install kit.
Which one/brand/model actually worked. I have a couple now that just
haven’t worked out. Thanks!

uxwbill says:

@djcatdog525 No. This is an old video. The van is to be sold tomorrow
afternoon and will probably be parted out.

CalebJ77 says:

crutchfield would have provided you with an extension wire for that antenna
cable and the install kit free.

djcatdog525 says:

did you fix the van

Raymond Walden says:

@uxwbill I had a first generation s-10 that I gave to my brother, he
decided to put an aftermarket radio in it and it ended up sticking out of
the dash a few inches… Those first generation s-10 had a really small
cab. It is a good truck, but cramped. Over 218,000 miles on the original
2.8 and clutch… pretty respectable, actually.

uxwbill says:

@PutSome5tankOnIt Well, if I were to find that a stereo seemed like it had
a higher IQ than myself, I would set it to doing all my “brain work”.
Hopefully it would not be smart enough to arrive at the conclusion that I
should be paying it or something, because that would be bad!

uxwbill says:

@MrOne2watch I kind of skipped the swearing phase of installation when I
saw that short antenna cable and moved right on to a judicious application
of violence(tm). After enough of that, the cable did come out a little
further, enough to make it possible to actually connect the cable to the
radio. Given my luck, I really thought that I might have pulled the cable
in two, but I did not.

Jason Moore says:

Hello I did the same installation on a 00 Plymouth Grand Voyager. Bought
the wiring kit and hooked everything up. The radio works fine, but now the
power door locks will not work with the key off. With the key on it does.
Any tips

natalie whelan says:

how do i get a radio code for my 2002 voyager

vwestlife says:

Chrysler kept the Voyager name because it was Plymouth’s biggest selling
vehicle, and they didn’t want to lose any of that market share from all the
former Chrysler/Plymouth dealers that were becoming Chrysler-only or
Chrysler/Jeep dealers.
