[QUOTE="PA2013, post: 8448852, member: 667987"] Thank you for the clarification, this is helpful and answers 5, 6, and 7 pretty well. And thanks for pointing out the antenna adapter, I would've forgot all about that. What I'm still not clear on however, is which wire on the harness is for the steering wheel controls. I've looked at several diagrams and the only ones that seem to show the steering wheel controls at all are the ones for the factory premium radios: [IMG]http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/ggrote1/2011-01-02_223018_radio1.gif[/IMG] Comparing this to the base level radio diagram shows that they are actually almost identical: [IMG]http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/ggrote1/2011-01-02_222857_radio.gif[/IMG] Here's where it gets interesting: If I follow the diagram for the premium radio, it says that pin E6 (which would be the fourth pin from the top left corner) is the steering wheel control signal. However, looking at the picture of the Metra 70-2001 shows that it omits this pin as it only has four columns of pins from the right side. Is this just an incorrectly rendered picture or is it something else? What exactly is the difference between the "dimmer" and "illumination"? [/QUOTE]
