Wired it up at the HU, it's a messed up head...For some reason the switched and the ground both have two wires running into the HU, where they crimped onto the car's wiring they threw in two wires from the HU's ground and 12v going into it. Anyway, radio works, save the fact that the manual...

Wiring harness is a no-go, factory one was cut off sometime in the past and a generic brand cd player's harness crimped to the factory wires, no wiring diagram for the HU. I grabbed the wiring diagram for the car off the12volt.com, my biggest concern is that it's cool if I just splice the 12v...
