I'm trying to find the hidden usb cable that on the radio wiring harness but can't find it. I have the 130 res, it's even on my build sheet but no luck. Is it that I just can't find it or do I even have it? I'd appreciate an help. Below are some pics...

I take it your looking in from the bottom glovebox? If so you need to remove the Pocket(express) or the upper glovebox and look in there...mine was taped into the harness to the left almost on the side of the radio. Hope that helps

It's pretty hidden, not just sitting in the open. Cut some of the tape on that harness and look for a thick black coated wire, it should lead you right to it...

If you still can't find it you can always pop off the center bezel, remove the radio and make sure it is plugged into the radio. If it is, just follow the wire, if it's not plugged in, you know for sure you don't have it...

Ok so I can reach my hand and feel the back of the radio and this black wire is plugged in to the back. If this isn't it I'm going to assume I don't have it. It's a plastic box around the usb port right? So I should be able to feel it.

That looks like it, and yes the usb port itsself is incased in a black plasic box...although that might be the antenna wire. Just keep following it and see where it leads you

According to that part number on the tag that is the wire for the sat radio, keep digging brother! I know part of mine was wrapped into that harness right above it with the blue wires, the actuall black box with the usb connector was more toward the radio itself...

It's the antenna wire, it runs to the passenger side and down to the floor board. Thank you very much for the help but it seems that I don't have it

Not a problem, sorry man, its a nice feature to have. You might be able to buy the wire/harness itself and plug it into the radio in the back, might be worth checking into...
