[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7796503, member: 576029"] looks like the factory wires were tapped. if so, you have a bit of work to correct that. you want a mechanical fastener (crimp) or solder and only use electrical tape to insulate, not hold things together. a car gets too hot and electrical tape will fail (if it's not the good stuff - Super 33+). you'll need the manual for the cassette deck or refer to the sticker on the unit that tells you wire colors/function. i agree you want to have the wire harness adapter. even Walmart may carry it for $10. you'll want to get proper crimp connectors while you're there.
