Harness to Reverse Harness Pigtail for OEM Head Unit

Spoke to KCAutosound today (that guy knows his stuff) about the harness to reverse harness pigtail to the OEM Head Unit. I'm trying to add a system to my factory HU without cutting the factory harness so I picked up a Scosche FD23B and FD23RB to try to splice together to make a pigtail. Apparently there are a couple of pins that don't match? Can anyone help someone with limited electrical splicing knowledge on how to make the connection between these two work? What pins need to be moved/switched/replaced/etc? Can someone give a step by step on how to do it?

KCAutosound, you mentioned that a parrot blue tooth harness will do the same thing as the Scosche harnesses. Is this the harness you are referring to: BWFCSS-2P
Do any of the pins in the parrot harness need to be rearranged or is this a true plug and play application?

I forgot to mention that I have a 2006 Lariat SuperCrew in case it matters

As far as I remember, all the pins match up. But then again it is a Scosche product....

Blaupuntk makes a splice, you can buy just the splice and use a line output converter, or buy the extension cable too, with the extension cable you can go to the speaker level inputs of your amp. Here is the link to crutchfield where I purchased mine. It was the easiest harness I could find so I didnt have to hack my factory harness.

Good call menas2000. I forgot about the Blaupuntk harness. They made this for thier add-on amplifier systems that will wire directly into the OEM wiring on vehicles.
