Direct Wiring for 2006 HHR with 7 speaker system and Amp
(for those who choose to keep the factory amp and change the head unit)
(or those who wish to use the factory amp with a carputer)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Harness 1]
Battery(+) = [RED/WHITE]
Ground(-) =
Left Front Low Level = [DARK-GREEN(-)] [TAN(+)]
Right Front Low Level = [LIGHT-GREEN(-)] [LIGHT-GREEN/WHITE(+)]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[B]Harness 2]
Amp Turn On Signal (same as power antenna) = [PINK]
Left Rear Low Level = [BROWN/WHITE(+)]
Right Rear Low Level = [TAN(-)] [DARK-BLUE(+)]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ignition line will have to be sourced elsewhere
as it is controlled by the GMLAN.

Check the fuse panel to the right of the center console for a source.

[[B]Hint](Power windows work after you shut off your car, until you open a door!)

Power windows are retained accessory, which is probably interlaced with the dome supervision...that's not a wire you're going to want to jump. The BCM is in the same panel as the fusepanel...you can grab the main accessory wire from the BCM- that's going to be your best bet.

You can also grab accessory at the ignition harness
