hey,

I got got a new cd player to replace my stock "active speaker" setup. My problem is that i have no clue what the color code is of the wires inside my car...does anyone have a list of what these are, I have searched the forums for a hellufa long time I still could not find it.

thanks!
woody

 

Matt93SE's FAQ page has some info here:
http://www.ee.utulsa.edu/~mblehm/faq...fo/radio_info/
that should give you all the wire colors you need

if you need any help with removing head unit or speakers, check out my page:

good luck

 

hey, thanks man, but that page doesn't have what all the wires are..like the power anntena switch...dimmer switch...stuff like that? do you just match up the colors that come off the adaptor thats on your deck? are the colors like universal for the most part or something? please help me out!

thanks
Woody

 

easiest way is to buy one of those harness adapters at Best Buy or wherever for about $15 or so
connect all the wires coming from your new radio to the harness and plug it in
the harness will tell you which wires control what and then look in teh manual for your headunit to tell you which wires are which
then connect the ones that are the same

it's pretty easy

 

since yours is the non-bose system, you'll also have to bypass the small amplifier on your rear deck.
instructions are on my FAQ page for this also.
