Second link and third link work. It looks like you have a non DSP harness. I would imagine it is the same as Crowz without DSP. From all my reading, you need to have the DSP harness for things to work properly and you will still need to have the DSP coded to Mid Basis to keep the system for querying the factory navigation. This has all been covered in this thread, I'm not sure how you didn't see it.

Yea, looks like Crowz. I will be getting China to send me the right one
Thanks everyone!!!!!!

Yep that sure looks like mine alright so getting them to send the right harness probably will fix you right up. Good luck with it.

I have a related question on speaker wiring. Think I will reuse existing speaker wires.
I need to know how they are wired. The 6 “ I took out is 8ohm. My amp is going to be 4ohm. Trying to see what or how they wire OE speakers so I can make the proper adjustments. There are 3 up front and I assume they are all on one channel.
That make sense?

Thanks

Don't forget the mids in the dash. They are different oHm from factory. Mine were 3 I believe. But they were also in very bad shape with disintegrated cones.

I searched the forums (dont see much) and think the system is set up at 2ohms. That dash speaker is throwing me off. I need 4. the amp will do 4 but i dont needs 200w/channel. lol
also think some of the wires are wired independently but not able to confirm. I do know when i took out the front door woofer its a 8ohm speaker. I will check the tweeter and see what that is..
