The Chrysler SoccerMom van

Don't know about the Nitro (that is the new KA platform) or even the new Liberty (KK) EVIC, but when I was researching the compatibility of EVIC/OTIS for the KJ I was very surprised when I realized that models for the following would work:
Grand Cherokee '99+ (WJ)
Dodge Intrepid '98+, Chrysler Concorde '98+, Chrysler LHS '99+, Chrysler 300M '99+ (LH)
and then obviously the Liberty '02+ (KJ)
(Note: different years did have different functionality)
See the link here:

This is really not surprising as they all came out of the same parts bin (my '04 KJ dash looks identical to my Dad's '04 PT Cruiser dash...)
I also seem to remember reading at some point that the Chrysler Sebring and the Town & Country "might" work as well, but don't quote me on that...
