installation question about the factory Uconnect >>>

I have a 2007 3500 CTD 4x4. I purchased a factory Uconnect to install in conjunction with the navigator radio.

The instructions that come with the kit are very sad. It's hard to make anything out and there's just about no written instructions.

So anyway, I have everything installed and tried it out.... nothing. I'm not sure I'm getting power to the uconnect.

The instructions show ( depending on your vehicle ) to cut a wire on the harness, tape it up and run a loose wire hanging from the harness to a feed ( cigarette lighter ).

This is where I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing. Has anyone installed the factory kit on at least a 06 ?

I've tried the search engine but, really didn't find anything but, people having to make their own harness. Are there any threads or links anyone knows of that will help ?

Thanks

Any help is greatly appreciated.
