usually there is a wiring diagram for the HU wiring harness printed on the top of the unit, (at least thats how it was for my alpine and my friends pioneer), as for the truck, usually the colors match up for the speakers, and then usually yellow goes to power, black either is ground, or ground your HU to the chassis, and then there will be a remote wire and a few other accessory wires. when you purchase a wiring harness, they come with wiring diagrams.

yellow is constant 12 volts, black is ground. the rest are speaker wires, the ones with the black stripes are neg. the blue with stripe is power ant. the solid blue is remote

left fronts are white, right fronts are gray, left rears are purple and right rears are green

Why don't you just buy a wire harness? It will solve all of your problems.

what do u mean. I have one for my new hu that was the pic with the 4 wires its just that the new wires dont match up with the old

 

[PESteele 10+ year member]

the black wire is ground

the orange yellow and green wires all carry a charge

green wire carries a constant charge which probably means it is the clock and settings power wire

other 2 wires arent charged

also what does remote and accessory mean b/c on the hu it says the red wire is accessory but on website it says 12 volt. The stock has 2 power wires but new one has only 1 should i splice a 3 2gether. Im really Confused.

There is an adapter harness that you needed to buy... so you didnt have to go through this hack and test job.

it simply plugs right into your existing harness.

What make, model, and year is your car?

EDIT:

nevermind on that, heres the one you need from Metra 70-1770

that just changes all the colors 2 the aftermarket standards right
