It looks the same as someone who just posted from Dubai.

The car seems to have been manufactured in Korea,

That's probably the key. All the ones in US/Canada come from US or Mexico.

I want to swap out the stock radio for a nice JVC apple car play radio. I already found a 2 din faceplate, but I need help figuring out the wirering any ideas ?

Keep in mind that much of the communication between the radio and the car is done via the car's computer bus. You'll need a radio or adapter that "speaks" the car's language. How well it does that will determine how well you like the install.

Any idea on the radio wiring harness type?

Going from the base radio to the MyLink will require a harness mod.

I dont wsnt to the Mylink, I want to install an aftermarket 2 din radio from sony or JVC

See my prior post. You're going to need an adapter that can convert the chatter on the car's databus into things your head unit can handle.

My car doesn't have onstar and any of the fancy features. The canbus connection on the current headunit is only to display climate control settings right? I don't care too much about not being able to see how fast the fan is in the car is spinning as I can see on the knob itself.

Some the functions of the GMLAN:

• Turn signal sounds
• Hazzard signal clicks
• Warning Chimes
• Turn on/Turn off
• A/C settings
• Personalization of the car (setting options)
• Steering wheel controls
• Coordination with the Telemetrics unit, such as handsfree calling.
• Activate backup camera

There are adapters that do some of that, but I think they fall short on doing all of them.

This. Sonic and Spark had the 2.o MyLink. GM decided the Cruze was too cool for MyLink 2.0 and we never ever got it for the entire gen 1 run.

So, what does the US Cruze have?
