INstalling HU on a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I have a question about wiring my HU up to this car. It has the basic stereo system (no OEM amps, no bluetooth, ect.) I have a wiring diagram for this and I was wondering how do I wire up the data communication lines (CAN BUS +/-). I have been searching up and down on the internet and have found nothing for this issue. Everything is for 04 and earlier. I'm not snipping into these lines because I don't need to take down all the modules in the car lol. Anyways, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Does that convert the CAN BUS into what?

12v acc

That sucks ***. Can I bypass it or anything? Why couldn't I just hook up to 12v accy on the harnes I have?

Or does it just not work that way. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way the canbus is a data code translated by the factory radio telling to turn on. The metra part translates that into a 12v acc. You can't go to the ignition harness either since the acc is negteigger through a resistor. I don't ever recommend going to the fuse box unless you grab a wire behind that you verify is the same wire connected to the acc fuse which could take a a while

Ok cool. Thanks for the help I ended up going with this harness. http://www.peripheralelectronics.com/?ProductId=154

Everytime I have ordered something from crutchfield its been wrong lol. Plus, I found about 4 different makes of this harness. This one was right in the middle.
