85 buick park ave head installation help?

[copejunkie]

alright, i got a buddy of mine to seel me a park avenue ultra the other day.

So, it had an old school cassette/cd player in it, that would be cool if this was still 1995, but this one doesn't read burnt cds at all.

So i went to replace it with the Pioneer head that i had in my old truck, but whenever i pulled the dash off i was met with a pleothora of wires... way more than needed to wire just a cd player in... i have run into this before, but never have figured out how to get everything working.

So, the best i can figure the temperature control and maybe the power windows are wired into this (just a wild guess on the windows, but i am pretty sure the temp control is in there)

I don't really care to go buy an adapter, if i have to i will... but does anyone here know how to distinguish the wires and whatnot, i have a multimeter... not to sure how to use it, but i can learn.

iirc, there are three yellow wires, and three black wires.... i found the hot wire.

if anyone can just tell me how to bypass the temperature control around and make it work, then i am more than capable of running my own wires and setting fuses and finding out which wires are which speaker through trial and error.

thanks for any help in advance

Stereo

cool thanks,

but it still doesn't really help me.

i have the ultra model, and just by looking at that it seems that is for a base model.

the difference, the ultra has the temperature controller under the radio, not to mention a whole lot of stuff that the base model doesn't have... pretty high tech for the time.

so, if i just cut out the old stereo, then i know the temp controller won't work... which ain't too bad now in the summer (the AC isn't charged up anyway), but when wintertime comes the heater won't work and that is gonna **** lol.

appreciate the help though
