Thats exactly what I did, use the crutchfield connector to the radio harness, all soldered and wired correctly and check with meter for continunity. My OEM 12 v constant source was just dead at the OEM connector itself. Bad pin or bad wire someplace in the OEM loom. things like that do happen. The switched power works fine. But its all running now and all good. I am a EE with 20+ years of working on patriot systems, ATC systems, satellite, and all kinds stuff. Have taken them all apart and back again....I will realize though that it does take skill to do a proper stereo install ,that has a different skill set than ripping the guts out of a nexrad radar. I'm just glad it works, till I route a wire right to the battery. XM and iPOd work, so does Nav.
