Most of these cars had very high-quality radios that used a remote amplifier under the passenger front seat. When you down-grade to an aftermarket radio, you have to bypass that amplifier.
Also be aware that only on Chrysler products, their amplifiers do not increase volume or power. Any radio will work with or without the amplifier, but the tone response won't be right. Chrysler amplifiers are only used for tone conditioning for the shape of the car's body. Since any Chrysler radio will run speakers directly or with an amplifier, you can try to do the same thing with your new radio. To do that, you will need to connect the "Power antenna" wire from the new radio to the wire in terminal number 7 in the black plug. The wire colors may not be the same as shown, so you have to go by location.
2000 was right in the middle of when they were changing from the two gray and black plugs to a single white plug with two rows of terminals. If you have that new-style plug, I'll find a drawing of it for you.
