If you go into the electronics/stereos section I believe WhiteBird00 has a sticky, if not you can ask him. He really knows his stuff and has tons of diagrams.

It may be more work than its worth, but if you're willing then more power to ya!

I just used a haynes manual and traced through it, you can probably search under my name and see a bunch of pics of the different wireing I took out, it came in well over 50# of wire relays BCM and all taken out...
