Default CD changer harness problem please help!!

Ok I need some help. I bought a cd changer from a forum member and I'm trying to hook it up tonight. Where does the harness plug into? the back of the factory deck or in the passenger footwell? I was hopeing to get some help before I take anymore interior panels out.

the GM cd changer harness is about 12 feet long. One end has a single connector (changer end). The other end has two connectors - one 3 pin and one 4 pin - that plugs into mating connectors in the passenger footwell area.

Thats the problem This is a Gm electronics cdx-m2016 but it has a 18 pin plug which is only using 7 wires but even the color code does not match up. I found th 3 pin and 4 pin plug you guys are talking about but this plug is not the same. ????

Harness is about 18ft long but no visable part #. the red clip on the deck end has a P.E.D 2 molded in connector. No other markings.
I was told it was a factory changer from a 01 vert

That is the wrong harness and will not work

The CD changer is also different.

The stock changers part # was 25685332

THIS is what you need. Or you can get the harness from the dealer.

Do you know if that cable will work with this changer? I googled the part number and it comes back as a pioneer changer.

I sent a PM to the Seller maybe he can help me out with how he had it installed.

Thanks again
