Don't chop up that factory harness get the adapter harness from Scoche or Metra first thing. Walmart or Best Buy will stock it.

Yep they should and there should be a code on the harness package when you get it.

Yes get an adaptor. They plug into the factory harness and you then can crimp the connectors together and you can unplug it from the factory harness if you want.
