I am willing to bet yours is a plug and play too. Do a search on your stereo in this forum and I bet others installed the same stereo. I think the only difference in wiring would be if you had the factory nav unit. The install took me a while only because people kept calling me and I didn't want to rush it. I just unplugged the negative on the battery of the car. Used the radio keys provided by Crutchfield and slid the old radio out. Then I plugged everything in. The back of our factory radio has the exact same setup as the new Blaupunkt. Same plugs, design and everything! Really wierd! Makes me wonder if you really could put a Blaupunkt ipod adaptor on our factory radio. The plug is there in the same spot and the prongs look identical to the spot on the Blaupunkt that I plugged the ipod adptor in!

By the way, I am a real novice at this! I can't help you on the wires. But there is a 99% good chance you can just plug and play. I love the new radio... just not crazy about the red buttons. But it does match the other red buttons on the console (like the AC button).
