Yes and no. The antenna connector mid 07 or 8 changed. So you will likely need an adapter for the standard motorola connector your's has.

I would ask why you'd bother though unless supremely **** about looking stock, since you can get an after-market one to do that and much more for likely little extra money. And that won't crap out on you 6 months later. The stock units tend to get motor issues, and your cds become a meal.

thanks for such a quick reply wayne and to answer your question yes i do like the stock look i can pick up a single disk mp3 radio from a 08 for about $50 on ebay, so even if i get close to a year of use i'll be happy thanks for all the info

The part you will likely need for the radio to work:
Chrysler Antenna Adapter (METRA 40-cr20 pictured below):

SUPRA88

Make sure the plugs are the same main power plug is the same but there are 2 more plugs for the factory amplifier auxiliary audio input and some have the low subwoofer output on the small plug

All of the S197s have this (8pin connector)for the "shaker" output to factory subs. The 16pin aux he just wouldn't use.
