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.

no its the basic radio i need to find a 12 volt feed because the harness that i bought doesnt supply it because factory radios nowedays uses the regular constant 12 volt and just drops voltage as per a buddy of mine who is an installer. I also need the reverse wire signal so i can connect the reverse camera. Thanks ------------- Chris G.

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)

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"

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..

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...

you are probably right, but ive been surprised before having done the same car a few times in a row and there will be one odd ball the is not like the others.
and yes, you should always tell people who post for advice to test their wires because you never know when someone just woke up one day and decided they were gonna play car technician because it cant be that hard right? you just hook these wires to those wires and thats it right? thats how some people are. which usually leads to posts like " the radio works fine but now my car wont start, what should i do?"
