Aftermarket CD player Install

Im trying to install an aftermarket cd player in my 84 maxima but I havent been able to locate a wiring harness.

Still need diagrams?

I realize this is late, especially for BigDud, but I've installed CD/DVD players in both of mine, using existing harnesses for one of them. I even integrated the still-working tape deck with the new head unit (requires rear Aux port).

So if anyone's still interested I can post how I wired things.

Do you have any pictures. I'm wondering how you got an aftermarket stereo to fit? I don't think they make dash kits
