I just bought a '95 Dakota 2WD,& the radio doesn't work.
I went to the local pick&pull,& got one out of a '99 Caravan.When I went to install
it,I noticed that the connectors are different.
I think that I paid too much for it (AM?FM?Cassette),& don't think they'll
let me exchange it (although I'll try).
Any ideas/advice on how it could be made to work?Also/what years/models
will exchange with it?

I bought a BOSS radio off Amazon and also picked up the harness for it and install kit. All for around $35.00. No CD on the radio, but Bluetooth and detachable face plate. Here is one I got and it will work for yours.
