2005 grand cherokee is the same wiring as the new 300/300C Magnum.

The 05 is completely different from the 04.

Constant: Light Blue/Red (+) @ Ign Harness
(I use a thicker constant @ the fusebox to the left of the steering column)
Ignition: Pink/Light Green (+) @ Ign Harness
Accessory: PURPLE / Brown (-) Needs a 560 ohm resistor @ Ign Harness
Starter: Pink/Orange (+) @ Ign Harness
Starter 2: PURPLE / Brown (-) Needs a 150 ohm resistor @ Ign Harness (Same wire acc above)

For parking lights use the hazards wire (-) @ the steering column. It is WHITE/ blue. There is a white w/ a dull blue and a white w/ a bright blue. It is the bright blue. And yes supplying the negative to this wire makes the lights flash the entire time.

The horn wire is dark GREEN/ orange (+) under the hood.

Brake is your normal WHITE/ tan.

Has the new key with the keyless in the head. I usually pull the guts out of the key (make sure to remove the keyless battery!) and give the customer the key back so at least they can still use it in the doors.. Supposedly a PKU-CH2 also works, but I haven't tried it.
