'07 Wiring diagram for radio needed please

I purchased the adapter to put my Clarion in the truck, and the adapter plug fits, but the pins do not match up, got wires on pins that are blank on the other side, so I don't have power and a couple others. The adapter is for an '06 cause they didn't have an '07. Did they change things? Anyway, if anybody has a diagram so I can figure out which wires are which coming into the stock stereo plugs, that'd be great. It is a 4-speaker stereo w/ Sirius from the factory, not the fancy infinity one. Thanks again,

Brian

Wiring

I put a Sony unit from Crutchfield in my 2007. I had to run switched power from the cigar lighter (pink and black wire) to make it work. My truck is the ST model, so I can't say anything about the fancy features, but the stereo works fine.

how did you pull the stereo out? i have a 6 disc to attach to mine.

there is a "dodge builder" website that has all the wiring, but i can't google now.

Well, my stereo popped right out w/ 4 little screws. 2 plugs on the back and the antenna. I need to look it over again, but I know the switched power was one that didn't line up, gotta take it apart again and see what all else doesn't line up. I'll have to try the cigarette lighter one. Rod, did you have any other problems or was the switched the only one? I'm on leave at home right now and needed the truck together to go out last night, so I just popped the factory one back in for now. Anyway, thanks for the help, I'll let you know as I figure it out here.

Wiring

I wired the adaptor according to Crutchfield's directions, but there aren't that many wires going to the radio on mine. I have a suspicion that a lot of the features ( some of which my truck doesn't have) are controlled by the computer and don't translate well. But, the switched power was the only problem I had.

So, does anybody know what wire to tap into to make the radio dim when you turn the lights on? I did like was said about hooking up to cig lighter, but I've got 2 unused wires on the factory plug that I can't figure what they are. One is white/orange and the other is white, one is 4.5v and the other around .6v. They dont' change with the headlight switch. Thanks for any help!

Silver the wiring harness you bought was for an '05 and older. Starting in '06 DC went to some weird kind of grounding system, I'm sure somebody will chime in on this that knows more. You can buy the correct harness from Schocse(if thats how its spelled) I forget the part # but its about $150. I had the same problem. Not having the dim feature hasn't bothered me as much as I thought it would. Also if you haven't already bought it you'll need an antena adapter, and the trim. You may have to ask for one that fits the durango, take a good look at the one they give you.Good luck.

Well, the kit and everything fits perfect, got the antenna adapter, and got it working, just had to get the switched 12v from the cigarette lighter and I have no dim. Other than that, everything else works great. So if I get the $150 harness the dim will work? Thanks,

Brian

I talked to a tech from the company that makes the harness and from what I understood, it will work. I'm not gonna drop $150 for it though.
go to scosche.com and the Part#: DCCR03SRB . I already threw my paperwork away but i'm pretty sure this is it.
