Default Steering wheel stereo controls

So I purchased a new Head Unit to replace the stock one in my 02 TA. I also bought a PAC SWI-JACK Steering wheel interface device so that I could retain my steering wheel controls. This device is suppose to be compatible with my car and the Kenwood KVT-512 head unit that I bought.

The problem is...when I look at the vehicle application guide to figure out what wire to tap into (vehicles harness), it only lists a 89 Pontiac Firebird. The guide also states that if my vehicle isn't listed, pick a vehicle from the same manufacturer and same model year with the same type plug and use that application/wiring guide. Does anyone know what GM vehicle used the same wiring harness/plug as the TA w/monsoon? Has anyone ever used this device before?

I did a search but could not find the answer to my specific question.

Thanks in advance.

It is the dark blue wire in the main stereo harness.

No problem...I'm using the SWI-JACK with my Alpine HU and it works great, good luck with the rest of the install.
