[QUOTE="awalbert88, post: 312401, member: 545461"] Agreed, trial and error is the quickest way to break a radio. Get a wiring diagram for the Kia stereo, then either get a harness or wiring diagram for the Festiva. Festiva's are quite fun to work on (*sarcasm*). When hooking up an old Sony head unit to my ex's Festiva, I used a multimeter to find the 12v, ground, and ignition feeds from the old wiring, and then color-matched the speaker wires. I suggest getting a wiring harness for the Festiva, however, as the connectors used by Kia when they designed the Festiva (yes, you read that correctly) are incredibly stupid and a real pain to work with.
