How To Dodge Neon Stereo Wiring Diagram

You have several options when you want to install a new stereo into your Dodge Neon. You can take it to a professional stereo installer or Do it yourself with our Neon Stereo Wiring schematic. Whether you are installing an MP3 player or aftermarket stereo, this car audio wiring guide can help you get the job done.

The Dodge Neon began life as the Chrysler Neon, starting from the year 1994. This represented the first generation Neon that was produced from 1994-1999.

Today I’ll be showing you what the car stereo wiring is behind every year of the Neon. We will begin with the wiring diagram in a first generation Neon.

First Generation Neon Stereo Wiring Schematic – 1994-1999

Although the first generation Neon used a factory stereo layout that looks to be DIN sized, in fact you will need a stereo install kit. This kit should come with mounting plates and a backing plate to fill up the surrounding space around your aftermarket stereo.

When installing a radio into your Dodge Neon, this install kit will also often come with a plug and play wiring harness. This allows you to tee your factory speakers into your new stereo and makes the install easy and straightforward.

If your aftermarket stereo has a removable face like the one shown above, or a tilt down face make sure your install kit has the proper spacing. If your Dodge Neon stereo isn’t mounted correctly, the features may not work as well as you want them to.

You can access the Dodge Neon car audio wiring by removing the shifter base and the bottom of the center console.

Second Generation Neon Stereo Wiring Schematic – 1999-2005

The next generation of Dodge Neon featured a redesign of the interior and dash. While the changes made the center console and stereo more easily accessible, you will still need an install kit. Where as the first generation Neon radio install kit had plastic backing, the second generation should also include stereo mounting brackets.

The later model Dodge Neon made it slightly easier to remove your stereo. The center console face can be pulled out and removed, giving you access to the Neon radio mounting bolts.

This makes installing your Dodge Neon radio install kit easy. Again if your radio has special features like a removable face or tilt down screen, you must install the backing and mounting brackets properly.
