EARLY 97 Model - uses small connector similar to those found on a personal computers. This connector is secured by two screws passing through a
metal flange. The connector has 25 pins, numbered 1-25.
Important:
The early production 97 MY vehicles have the same type of connector as the 96 MY vehicles but the pin outs location of the mono audio output
leads are different. The transceiver will plug in directly to the vehicle harness but, installation without an adapter harness will result in a phone inop

LATE 97 MY uses standard Packard automotive style connector, secured by a plastic locking tab. This connector has 23 pins, and identified by alpha

Harness P/N 16268667/with clam shell case is the same as harness P/N 16250385/without clam shell case. The clam shell provides a secure connection
by two screws passing through a metal flange.
