There is no acc (switched power) behind the radio in an 06. It's Can-Bus. You need to run a wire from the new headunit to the fuse panel or ignition column and get a switched 12V source there.

had one more question, With it needing a switchable source could i splice the ignition and acc wire and run it off the red wire from the wiring kit vs running another wire?
