I'm thinking about installing a CD changer in my 05, it will be frequency modulated. My problem is locating wiring taps to hook up the always hot wire and the ignition on wire. ground is no problem. Can anybody advise me on this.
Thanks
Unit considering is a Pioneer CDX-FM657

Problem solved, thanks for the help.

 

It might be helpful if someone could post a picture of the 6th. gen. (05 monte) radio wiring harness schematic.
Thanks

Metra makes a variety of adapter harnesses that allow you to plug aftermarket stereos directly into the factory wiring. That would be the easiest way to do it.

Problem solved, thanks for the help.

Using the rear acc. power wiring for always hot 12 v. and ground, using the switched power on the unused seat heater switch connecter. Both in the same area behind seat heater switch cover in console above cup holder.
Hope this helps someone in need of the same type wire circuits.
