Dude, it's a radio, it ain't that hard to figure out. Get a cheap V/O meter with a continuity setting if you're not sure where something goes, but really, what are you going to have? A constant power, an intermittent power, ground, antenna, and 4 sets of speaker wires. You can easily locate all of those connections with a V/O meter, probably in less time than it'd take to find a diagram.

Oh, depending on the radio, you might have a dimmer wire as well. Go pick up a wiring harness from the junk yard if someone cut it out and then butt splice the like wires together. If it's aftermarket, go get a wiring harness from any audio store and follow the color codes on the back of the package.

congratulations...you spent all of that time, and still didn't tell this kid how to hook up his radio. you just told him the generic new head unit color coding.


go to installdr.com and look up your car.
