Are you installing the factory XM or an aftermarket setup?

I guess it really depends on what harness you were trying to splice into?

I am trying to splice into the harness that goes from from truck into the back of my radio. I just need to know what color wire are the constant hot, ground and accesory wire.

(Is there a website that has a wiring schematic of my radio harness that tells me what each color wire in my stock radio harness coincides with.)
