Hey guys,
So my car originally didn’t come with a radio at all since picking it up a little over a year ago. I’ve finally got it running pretty decent after doing some heavy maintenance on her. So I figured I’d spoil myself a bit and try to get some tunes going back in the car.
I scored a factory radio unit #MB649793 with a factory aux port(In the early 90s?!) pretty sure it was meant for CD players back then though.
Anywho, I’m pretty sure this is actually from a factory 92-94 Eclipse, and not my 1990. However I’ve seen this exact factory radio unit ran on other 1ga’s so I figured it should be no problem.
Well as I tried digging back there looking for the connections, I cannot find a single connection that can plug into the back of this unit.
The only plug I found that was just dangling there seems to have a totally different connection, and what looks to be pretty fresh electrical tape over the wiring.
Can you guys take a look at these pics and confirm if this is the stock radio connection for a 1990 Eclipse? Or is my fear correct that someone already went in previously and hacked off the stock radio connections and spliced in a different kind for some other radio?
Thanks
