i'm not sure the exact color codes but some factory wire collors are so close i usualy just hold a metra or equivalent aftermarket harness up beside the factory harness and count pins.If you have to buy a harness just do it quick and return it for a refund I let my customers do it all the time. good luck

I was gonna suggest the exact same thing...you can go to any best buy or circuit city and they should let you do it; the thing is around here a lot of the local places hardwire everything so a local shop might not have the reverse harness for you to look at. but allthe chain stores carry basically the same thing, at least for that particular vehicle they should have it.

if they don't have the reverse harness you ca plug the factory one into the aftermarkett and follow the wires throgh the plug .just be carefull af bare wires on the aftermarkett and don't leave the radio unplugged long enogh for the anti theft to lock you out (youre owners manule should say how long it takes usualy 1 hour)
