My Sunfire has no radio accessory switched 12v wire. Instead it has a purple wire that apparently turned on/off the factory one. I've been reading about extending an additional wire directly to the ignition switch panel harness. Does anyone knows what type/measure of connector do I need to plug a new cable to the existing harness? There are some free slots there, but I can't figure out the connector type just by looking. Thanks for your help.

its pretty simple, the remote wire is used to tell the amplifier that the cd player has came on. once the cd player has came on, the amp then comes on. simply take a light tester that has a sharp tip, turn the ignition until the cd player comes on, and start testing all of the wires. when you hit a wire in which the light tester says there is power flowing through it, turn the cd player off. if the light goes off with the cd player, you have found a wire that is suitable for a remote wire. dont know how to use a light tester? http://www.bcae1.com/testlite.htm

Did the radio play after you took the key out?
And do the chimes come through the speakers?
If so, then you need to get a harness to go inbetween the radio and the car harness.
