Problems with a new radio...

I have posted this in multiple forums for months, specific and general ones, but now one to date was able to help me. I thought I give it a shot here as well.

My wife has a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that came with the single disk radio system. We like the controls and so I purchase the same radio for our Camper. I found one used but it did not come with the wiring harness. I since purchased the MOPAR wiring harness according to my local Chrysler dealer and it plugs into the "A" port on the right side of the radio (from behind).





The harness part number is 68032281AA Wiring-Radio.
The radio part number is P05107095AJ.

I also unplugged my wife's radio and noticed the following cables (see picture). I measured 12.5V permanently on the red/black thick gage wires. This is regardless of key in ignition or door open. So this tells me that one other cable needs to be a control cable.

Cables are as follows:



1 RED
2 White
8 green with blue stripe
9 green with orange stripe
10 grey with blue stripe
11 grey with orange stripe
12 BLACK
13 white with red stripe

Rest is empty.

I assume at this point that 2x grey and 2x green are for the speakers. White and White/Red seem to carry 2.4V regardless of ignition and door status.

So I am further assuming that I can not use this radio outside of a Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler as it appears that it need a control signal to start/stop.

When I use it on the Black/Red only it starts up, goes through a CD cycle and then powers off. Pushing the Power button does not help.

I need help! I know that someone out there is able to help! Please advise.
