Hello I am installing an indash on my brother in laws car can someone please help me with the wire break down for this vehicle? I will also be installing a reverse camera so if you can supply me with a complete breakdown I will be greatly appreciated!Chris G.

Does it have the Boston Acoustic system? Or is it the standard audio system? If standard, Metra's 70-6522 or xsvi6522 If it has the Boston System, it will use their CHTO-03 harness.

Not being witty or sarcastic at all- but perhaps it might be a good idea to have your buddy who is an installer do the install? With all the networking, multiplexing, and such, going on in today's vehicles, taking it to a professional may well save money in the not-so-long run. Believe me, I totally "get" the idea of DIY. But part of that is knowing when you need to "CTG" (Call the guy... who does know what he's doing)"Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. - Robert A.

Your cigarette lighter will be Ignition +12, you can use that. I am using that for my OnStar System. Your AUX +12 will be constant.

not all cigarette lighter/12v sockets are an ignition feed, there is just as good a chance that it will be a constant feed. even in the same cars the behavior of the 12v sockets can be different for other trim levels. it is best to test the socket before you assume it will give you an ignition to tap off of.

Absolutely agree. It's always best to test before implementation, anyway..."Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. - Robert A. Heinlein"

Perfect will do I love using my power probe so I will be testing and also fusing it!Chris G.

Hemi: I'm sure you probably know this, but just in case: Leave alone anything covered in yellow tape or tubing. It's the airbag and bad doings lie within.."Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it. - Robert A. Heinlein"

If you have a Dash area lighter socket, and then also have an AUX inside the Arm Rest, or on back of the Arm Rest, 9 out of 10, the one on the DASH is ignition +12. Most New Chryslers' are like that. PLUS, anyone would be a fool not to test it first, that should go without saying, but apparently not... My bad...
