in '04 there are actually two harness, you can tell which ones by the color of the plug in the back of the radio, basic was usually black, Audiophile w/sub was gray.
'World Plugs' are Black and you can find them if you look for before -'03
'Phase II' are Gray and are more common from '05 and after.
check out installer . com, i've bought some from them before.
Metra - 70-1771 is for World plugs
Metra - 70-5520 is phase II
