this guy says he doesnt have alot of money. I would just get a wiring harness, wire it to your deck and plug it into stock wiring. Its alot easier to sit in the living room and wire it up then go to your car and plug it in than to try getting back inside the dash stripping wires and such.

You are an imbicile.

With that out of the way, here it goes... from the top of my head...

Factory to Radio

+12v: Orange to Yellow

Ignition: Yellow to Red

Ground: Black to Black

Antenna: Pink to Blue

LF + : Tan to White

LF - : Gray to White/Black stripe

RF + : Lt. Green to Gray

RF - : Dk. Green to Gray/Black stripe

LR + : Brown to Green

LR - : Yellow to Green/Black stripe

RR + : Dk. Blue to Purple

RR - : Lt. Blue to Purple/Black stripe

That should be it I believe.

Cap off all other wire on the factory side, AND the radio side.

And if you ever put a different CD player in, leave slack from this install and all you'll have to do is match up colors...
