Harness for 2007 Town & Country

[Hektor]

A Best Buy installation tech told me that my 2007 Chrysler Town & Country couldn't use the standard $20 wiring harness for a Pioneer stereo. He said I'd need a special $150 one because Chrysler upgraded their wiring system. The radio in my T&C is a CD/Tape unit, with a 3-letter code (I THINK it's RAK).

Searching on this forum, I found a post about a Dodge Ram needing a harness, CHYAH05.

Is this the same thing I'd need for my 07 T&C?

if it is truly an 07 then they are incorrect and a regular $20 harness will work if it is an 08 then hey are correct and you need a can-bus interface

It's definitely a 2007. They told me that it was 2007 and on that needed the new harness.

Is there somewhere I can look this up, that'll show that a 2007 uses the old harness?

Not that I don't trust you, I'm sure you're right, I just want another source that shows it so I can convince the Best Buy guys if I have them do the install.

Thanks!

The only question I have for Cructhfield's site is that it asks if I have the Infinity radio or non-Infinity radio. How do I know? The deck in the van is the CD/Tape combo, with code RAZ (I think).

I tried the 2007 and 2008 without Infinity, and found that what Worlddre and SethPhillips said is right. It listed a $15 harness for the 2007 and a $120 harness for the 2008.

It didn't tell me the part number for the $15 harness though (the BHA1818 number).
