Personally for good mechanical strength I'd recommend using a pair of RCA jacks in the dash. 1/8" phone jack is pretty fragile, and the plug is even worse, although a right-angle head helps.

Quarter-inch phone would be an alternative.

The strongest would be quarter-inch phone, using a 90-degree metal plug.

Switchcraft used to make the best, maybe still do:
