Black one is maybe for antenna ?

 

[ClassicalBor]

black one is believe is the antenna rookie, the green is just your factory radio harness, the one in the red im not positive about, might be aux control for CD changer in trunk if you have one (i have one so i can check that out for you when i get time)

Actually, the antenna cable is just behind the red circle. When you removed your factory radio did you have a cassette player below the deck?

I would think that the black is probably the radio antenna and maybe the green is to the climate controls or something........

 

[9394clipse]

I would actually look behind the dash there under where it is poking out of and see if there is an empty connection available that the green circle connector goes to

I don't think CD changers were offered or even considered for these cars in 1991. But I agree that the one circled in green is for the radio. If you have a harness adaptor for your Dual headunit see if it matches up to be sure, you'll probably want one anyway unless you want to cut and splice.
Not sure about the one circled in red.

The black cable and the big harness on the left to go the power amplifier that is still bolted in. That's the horizontal box sitting below where the radio should be.

CD Changers were not offered as a factory option in 1g DSMs however CD Players were.

It was a cd player and cassette deck combo. So I have a stock amp in my car? That goldish kinda box in the back? Should I just take that out because I have a pioneer amp I'm going to put it? It wasn't that bad of a radio its just the stock speakers are trash from being 17 years old. Thanks for the help!

No, the box in the back is the ECU. Leave that alone.

The box that sits below the radio is the amp. You can take it out and save a few ounces in your vehicle's curb weight, or you can just leave it in there.

I don't know how big that Pioneer amp is, but you're probably better off installing that under the seat or in the back of the car.
