For the 2005:

Radio 12v gray/red+radio harness
Radio Ground black and black/lt. green-radio harness
Radio Ignition pink/yellow+radio harness
Radio Illumination orange/tan (dimmer)+radio harness
Factory Amp Turn-on N/A
Power Antenna N/A
Notes: The amplifier is behind the glove box.
LF Speaker +/- : dk. grn/yel/ dk. grn/lt. blue (+,- radio harness or amplifier)
RF Speaker +/- : gray/yellow/ gray/lt. blue(+,- radio harness or amplifier)
LR Speaker +/- : gray/lt. grn/ gray/dk. grn(+,- radio harness or amplifier)
RR Speaker +/- : dk. grn/lt. grn/ dk. grn/gray (+,- radio harness or amplifier)
Immobilizer Bypass Module: Required: Yes Type: Sentry Key Part #: 555C, 556U, or 555U
Notes: Only vehicles with gray keys have the immobilizer.

You may need to look to another souce for your remote turn on. I didan installon my '06 and just used the fuse box under the hood. Just plugged the remote wire into one side of the fuse slot and if the amp turned off when I turned the key off, that was my source. Pretty much guess and check.

I don't have any info for the '07 though, sorry. I would imagine that it wouldn't be too much different from the '06 because they both use the CAN-BUS system, but I can neither confirm nor deny this.


P.S. the12volt.com is a great forum specializing in vehicle wiring and accessories.
