    I looked in the basement toolbox for mine, but I assume when we moved a year ago I threw it out.

    I just took out the stereo to see how the wires look. There are only two connectors. Not bad. All I need is the adapter you guys mentioned.

    I don’t know if you use Amazon or not but if you get the part number off Best Buy and google it on Amazon they are cheap. Also these connectors are the best I have ever used. You can buy a smaller amount if you like them. I do my own wiring and have for many years. The plug in the picture may not be the exact one you need. I did not google your specific info.

    Ya,or even Wally World...think theyre still open. The Scosche or whatever .Stereo controls in steering wheel? Is an additional PIA.

    My steering wheel only has the volume buttons, but they’ve never worked on mine.

    You need to look for a radio that has H/D in the model # so you get a radio that will last more than a few mo. I nave put a few car radios in my truck that did not last a short time?

    The connector you posted matches mine. One connector has 12 pins, and the other has two pins.

    Double check it because it looks like they are both male. The one on Best Buy is a female, but if my memory is correct the truck has a short harness that can be disconnected and then the male would work.

    About the blue connector I posted, that’s apparently for the stereo microphone, which I don’t use. I think I’m all set. Thank you all for your help!

    It's a little more than mic I think. I had to unplug mine a couple times to get the radio to reset the bluetooth pairing to my phone. But I do remember running a trip without the blue plug in and everything else worked save bluetooth. If you want another bluetooth radio, it will be built in and not need that.

    Also, I have to second those connectors. They are awesome. No crimping, and a watertight, unmovable seal.
