Here's a start at documenting the connector pins for the radio. The single-CD radio should only have C1 and C2, while the 6-disc and navigation radios should have all three connectors.

I have drawings of the connectors that indicate which pins are where, but do not have a way to post them yet. Once I do I will update this with both that and a picture of the back of my 6-disc radio when I get a chance.

The first column lists the pin, the second contains the wire gauge and the color combination, and the third its function as listed in the service manual.

Update to previous post. Installed the REN tonight and the C1 connector is there and fully wired. Now the BIG question is where do the wires go. When I had the rear interior torn apart I could not see the 22-pin connector but I did not remove the sub either. Nor did I see the connector for the rear view mirror in the headliner.

Time to hunt down this thing before I go crazy. If I have to take the vehicle apart I will. Going to wait for a free weekend and tear it down.

Hoping to get the Kickers delivered and installed this week and see how the system sounds. I don't expect a concert hall, but at least a little more than the Infinity's.
If I remember right from when I tore things apart a year ago, the C1 wiring behind the radio does not go far, only to C202 in the driver's side foot well. The wiring harness that runs between C202 and C313 on the rear quarter panel does not contain the wires to support the hands free module, and the harness that connects the module to C313 does not contain the wires or the connector to the module.
