I already said it. Metra from advance, autozone or pep boys. Orielly's might have it too. It's a two piece harness. Find the one for your vehicle and then the one for your head unit connect them together and walla. Plug and play. I've used them for several vehicles.

So you are buying another harness for your head unit, just so you can plug the two harnesses together, instead of crimping/soldering? I'm lost.

A link would be great info as I have searched all over and have never found a true plug and play. When you say connect them together do you mean solder? Please prove me wrong but I don't see how that could be cost effective to manufacture a plug with so many options (vehicles matching aftermarket units)

I have used the Metra harnesses before, they plug into the factory harness and then splice/crimp into the actual radio harness. Its whole purpose is to avoid cutting the factory harness, great to have when putting an aftermarket radio in.
I have not seen an actual plug and play that has a plug that goes into a factory harness and the other end fit the radio itself though.

There is no plug and play without crimpimg wires together. Plug and play means you buy a wire harness that has your exact vehicles male/female plug on one end and the exact stereos male plug on the other. I think someone is very confused....

Yes a part number to plug my avh-2600bt into a standard 2007 F150 with no crimpimg or soldering is what I desire. Its a unicorn. It doesn't exist.
