Radio wiring harness Question

[orangeblue]

I bought a CD player, and need to make a new wiring harness. So my Q is does anyone know what each color wire goes to?

This post, and almost every subsequent post in this thread will advise you to not make your own harness, but to buy a Metra harness from Circuit City, Best Buy, etc..

Metra harnesses will plug directly into your stock harness and the wires it uses are color coded using the same standard that most aftermarket audio manufacturers use. This means that you'll simply be matching colors; i.e. blue from the metra harness to blue from the headunit harness.

If there are any wires that don't match, that means either your car or the headunit doesn't support a specific feature.

You'll find that there are plenty of things that can go wrong if you hack your stock harness and try to splice everything using the incomplete wiring diagrams that you'll find here.

Do as he says. Its so much easier and you will never have to worry about it again. I have a pioneer 9600 and no one had a harness for my deck because it was to new. If this happens usually the deck comes with a harness, then buy the harness from circuit city that is made for the older pioneers to fit your car. The harness from your deck will be color coded to the harness from circuit city, best buy or what ever.

I recommend going to a private stero shop near you. Buy from them and they will probably be alot more helpful and be more willing to help you in the future. Also private shops the people are ususally more experienced, and love what they do. The shops like circuit city and best buy have sometimes good knowledgable people but most likely arn't going to be as good of help as a private shop. I work at a private shop and I sometimes know more about best buys stuff than their employees do. Some of the stuff I dont even carry in my own shop.

But if your harness has already been cut out by the previous retard owner of the car, you could get a stock harness off a car at the junk yard and match the stock colors to stock colors, then buy an after market harness (AMP, Metra, Schoche) and match after market colors to after market colors. Then you can plug the harness in and this would make future deck installs much easier.

If you want to hard wire the Pioneer, Panasonic, Clarion, ect. I think there is a diagram on vfaq.

Step One: USE THE DAMNED SEARCH, IT'S WHY WE'VE ALREADY POSTED THE STEREO WIRING DIAGRAMS. SEVERAL TIMES.

Two: eBay.

my brother has a 92 stealth r/t and his harness was cut off too...i found a wiring diagram for what the old colors match up with on todays HUs and it works fine...it would be much easier with a aftermarket harnes as mentioned before...but if you have to do it this way i wouldnt think you'll have any problems assuming you find an accurate wiring diagram!! hope this helps and sorry to bring up a stealth in a world of dsm's

Stealths as well as most Mitsubishis, Hyundais, Eagles and I'm not sure what all else, use the same wiring for the stereo within a given generation.

I advise doing as everyone else has said, get an adaptor harness from a stereo shop. If your stock harness is cut then goto the salvage yard and cut one out and wire it in then put on the adapter harness.

For future reference, http://www.installdr.com has wiring diagrams for any car I've ever had to look up. Good site if you need it.
