Hi folks. I'm in the process of pulling my dash apart on my 05 ram to upgrade the radio to an adriod auto radio. I've downloaded various wiring diagrams and bought a connector adapter but here's what I'm running into. The wire colors don't completely match and I have (2) connectors that went into the back of the radio and the adpapter harness only had one connector. I pulled out the infinity amp and bought the harness that allows you to bypass the amp and go right to the speakers but to be honest this stuff doesn't seem to line up. Does anyone have any suggestions or a good wiring diagram? I wrote down the colors of the wires coming out of both factory connectors and I'm a little unsure how to hook all of this up. Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Also I'm curious how the steering wheel controls come into play as I didn't see any wires labeled for that on the wiring diagram I found.

So I ended up running wires directly from the radio to the actual speakers and didn't mess with the various connectors for the infinity amp. If I was patient enough I could probably find enough info to use those connectors but it seemed uneccesarily complicated. I'm hoping to test it out today or tomorrow.

Now just trying to figure out the steering wheel controls interface.

So a little update on my project. Got the new radio to work and front/rear cameras good including my sub connection so good there. I bought the AXXESS steering wheel control module and connected exactly as it stated in the vehicle specific instructions. It seems to be triggering the ABS light which is very odd. I spoke to tech support at AXXESS and they confirmed I connected it correctly and they've never heard of it triggering any codes. Curious if anyone else has been down this road and if you have any suggestions? The module is the AXSWC steering wheel control module and I'm attaching to pin 14 (white wire w/purple stripe) on the factory radio wiring harness. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
