Chrysler OEM FM/MP3 6 disc changer unit from 2005 300C to 1999 T&Cw/ Infinity - possible?

[Sven]

I've seen the new 300C HEMI with a MP3-6 disc changer-radio unit.

As I can't affort to buy this car by now I at least would like to fit
this radio in my 1999 T&C with Infinity system.

However, I understood that this radio uses a new bus system. Does anyone
of you know whether it could be changed to fit in a 1999 T&C - and can
tell me how this would have to be done?

Greetings from Germany - 1 litre gas is @ US$ 1,75 by now and it is
rising...

What is it in Euro? I was just there in July/August in Koeln, Schwerin, and
Brescia Italy. Seemed to be hovering from E 1.18 in Italy to about E 1.25 in
Koeln which I think would translate to ~ $1.50 to $1.60. Correct? As I
recall the exchange rate was $1.2505 per Euro. Can't wait to go back BTW had
a GREAT time!

Is EUR 1,40 now per litre - and the car is soaking it up when you go
more than 75 mph...

But still looking for some help on that 300C disc changer. Anyone around
who can help?

Sorry I couldn't help you on that Sven. FWIW though from what I see
difference wise in my 99 T&C to my 03 T&C (which has a changer BTW and the
99 does not) I don't believe they'll work. The 03 looks to be a completely
different head unit with no resemblance to the 99's.

Hi Larry. Thanks for your reply. Chrysler here as well said they changed
the bus for the radio, so seems not really a chance for me unless I get
one of these units for small money to see whether yes or no.

But I learnt that the T&C's/Voyager's had a radio with built-in 6-disc
changer. Anyone of you know which of these units would fit my 1999 T&C
with the OEM INFINITY radio cassette unit and system speakers? The
INFINITY seems to be bit problematic on this what I learnt so far...

You might try looking into an aftermarket head from say Alpine or Pioneer.
Both make a 1.5 DIN that fits and looks very well in the opening and perform
as well or better than the oem. You can then go with their own changer and
have no further issues. Wiring it is no problem as there are easy adapters
that work very well with them too. BTW I noticed on my 03 I don't believe
anything from it would physically fit properly in the 99. The dashes are
pretty different.

I learnt that the latest ALPINE MP3 changer will fit my radio with
adaptors. Will try to get them over here. Unfortunately no show of ID tag...

Tnx for your help,
