first off, there is NO accessory wire in that vehicle, so if you think you are on an accesssory it is probably the data buss, hope you didnt fry the BCM!!!!! You will need an interface to get an ignition and keep the RAP (retained accessory power), this is what keeps the radio on until the doors open. We always use the GMCHIME from Soundgate, Metra and a slew of other companies make them also.
