Default Wire Harness Help

Hello, i have a 2009 xlt without navigation. I am looking at ordering a Kenwood DNX-7140 GPS..... unit. I am having difficulty fing the wire harness to adapt to the stock Radio plugs. If i don't have sync and steering wheel controls would anyone have a part number on a harness? Any company, Metra or????
thanks

try going to pac-audio.com and type in your make model, etc they have several options depending on what you want the harness to do, and in my opinion they make a quality product

Thanks, i just checked it out but i can't figure out which one. I have no sync or steering controls. i just want to be able to plug and play to a new unot without cutting. I guess i need the power and ground, illum as well as speakers.

if you are not needing to retain the sync system i would say you probably need the c2r-frd1, i found it on ebay for about $90... here is part of the description on it....Allows the replacement of original factory installed radio with an upgraded aftermarket radio while retaining certain factory features that would have been lost otherwise. Engineered to interface seamlessy with the vehicle's computer datatbus system. Provides navigation trigger wires and timed accessory output for replacing the factory radio. Retains the factory installed amplified audio system and rear seat entertainment (if equipped).... it appears as though that harness will give you the retained power feature as well as the trigger wires you will need for an aftermarket nav system such as the parking brake, and reverse sensing wires. Check that out and see if that meets your needs.

Here is also one you can use. This should allow you to solder in the house then go out and plug it in. Also keep in mind that you will need an antennae adapter.

No problem and that's affimative, the chrysler adapter is the one I used.

Also, are you going to use your steering wheel buttons to control your HU?
