Default Radio

I am looking for a stock cassette/ CD factory radio and have a lot of different answers about what will work. Would anyone know what is a direct fit for a 97 ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

1997-2004. Try eBay or a junk yard.

The Mopar radios from the 1980's through 2001 will plug right in. Some later ones after 2001 will work and the CD/Cassette units were the late 90's and up. These were tough radios and when I was working, we would wire them up on our lift trucks for keeping away on third shift. The after market radios would last a year, maybe, before the dust and vibration destroyed them. Our lift trucks were leased on three year leases. I used the same radio for 3 leases until I went into management.
