On the SSL, the wiring from the speakers goes under the driver's seat, not the dash, so you would have to figure something else out with that. The radio harness is the same between both radios, so it will turn on, but that's it.

The DIN plug should be in the dash. I can't imagine someone going to the trouble of removing that. Have you looked behind the cubby under the AC controls?

Hey thanks but I dont think it's going to help ..I think I need the

METRA 70-7002 DODGE/MITSUBISHI 1992-2005 AMP BYPASS WIRING HARNESS..link below


I think this harness will plug in the harness under the drivers seat and the wires go where the radio is located so you can run a after market radio ..Seems like a pita to go after market on the SSL evo

No, the factory amp has a different plug. You are going to need to run wires from the radio to under the seat, or to each speaker.
