Maybe I am missing something in trying to translate your question into just what your trying to ask. There are only 3 cables that normally get connected to the 05 head and radio. You have the interface cable going to the radio brick. Match the color of the cable connector between the radio and head with the color of the connector on the radio and control head. The accessory connector is the same thing. The last is the high current feed to the transmitter PA. Large red to +12 volts and large black to ground.

A little elaboration on the accessory cable. You have a:

black wire - goes to ground

yellow wire - goes to ignition power source

red wire - connect to +12 volts hot all the time.

This red wire can really screw you given the fact that if you switch it on and off with the ignition, it will cause the radio to pull about 700 ma. through the large PA +12 volt red wire on the radio when the ignition is off. There was a service note on this several years back about making sure it had a hot feed all the time or you would kill the vehicle given enough time.

Don't forget to fuse the power feeds.
