I can't say for sure, but I thin this one will work. Don't hold me to that.

That sort of harness is crap. It's the same type of deal that gives you RCA outputs out of your high level output.

The only other option I see at this point is to buy some RCA wires, cut them and plug them into your aftermarket head unit. Then run the cut RCA wires into the factory amplifiers.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...27957?n=172282

If you cut one end off of this wire, you will be left with essentially a two conductor wire (positive and negative for one speaker). You will need 2 of these.

To make this even easier, buy the harness I showed you, cut that leve adjustor off and connect the cut site of the RCA's to the harness. This will make it easier to discern which speaker/lead you are plugging into.

This should work, in theory.

I recently hooked up my Pioneer deck with a wiring harness and the mach 460 system sounded even better! Brings out ever more crips lyrics and bass!

Try this, it is for 00-04, but it may work on yours. Or look at the others he has to see if he has one for your car,
