First of I believe that car has a class 2 data bus system https://www.velocitymotorsport.com/install_notes/OBDII.htm which means that it dose not have a switched+ 12 volt ( red wire) .now In order to get a switched + 12 volt you will need to tap into the pink wire located in the ignition wiring harness. But before we go any further can you tell me if the door chime still works? Also I take it you are installing an aftermarket head unit?

Door chime is operational. Key in ignition, and door open = chime.

I am trying to install a OE buick radio,same dimentions as the one stolen.

I an using a GM03R reverse car stereo connector.

Wiring is as follows:3 Yellow,1 Orange,1 Dark Blue,2 grey,1dark grey,1Black\white stripe,1 light blue,1 tan,3 dark green,1 light green. 15 wires all together.
