* Greg Umbay notes that on Keyless entry vehicles, these wire can be found coming out of the green connector at the back of the radio. ** Thanks to Mr. Umbay for this wire location!

Our deepest thanks go out to Bill O'Hair and Dino Gutierrez for the information on the Sixth generation models. They also suggest that an alternate location for the control unit would be the metal bracket behind the mirror control switch or left of the steering column.
