Aftermarket radio wiring harness


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for some info on the wiring harness needed for an aftermarket head unit.

 

I have a 2010 Journey SXT, without steering wheel controls and an REQ radio.  I'm getting mixed messages if i need a canbus module, even though there is no external amp.  Some suggest canbus is needed to control turning the radio on and off.

 

Crutchfield wants to sell me a PAC C2R-CHY4 Wiring Interface, which includes a "radio replacement module".  Has a bunch of stuff.  But i don't know if i need all that.

 

Metra has a simpler wiring harness for $20.  

 

But i'm reading that without a canbus module the lights won't work right on the radio, nor will it shut off when you turn off the ignition.  Not sure what to believe.
