Ok on the back of your stereo you will have several wires. The colors will be, blue with a white stripe, white, white with a black stripe, Gray, Gray w/ black stripe, Green, Green w/ black stripe, Purple, Purple w/ black stripe, Black, Blue, Light blue, Red, Yellow. If you do not have these colors then post and tell us so. This is what these wires do. Blue with white stripe, this is the remote wire to turn a amp on and off. You only need this if you have a amp, if not put some electrical tape on it and move on. Post and tell us if you are putting in a amp, I can help with those too. White, this is the positive wire to the front left speaker, run a wire from it to the positive (+) terminal on your aftermarket front speaker. White with black stripe, this is the negative wire to the front left speaker, run a wire from it to the negative (-) terminal on your aftermarket front speaker. Gray, this is the positive wire to the front right speaker, run a wire from it to the positive (+) terminal on your aftermarket front speaker. Gray with black stripe, this is the negative wire to the front right speaker, run a wire from it to the negative (-) terminal on your aftermarket front speaker. Green, this is the positive wire to the rear left speaker, run a wire from it to the positive (+) terminal on your aftermarket rear speaker. Green with black stripe, this is the negative wire to the rear left speaker, run a wire from it to the negative (-) terminal on your aftermarket rear speaker. Purple, this is the positive wire to the rear right speaker, run a wire from it to the positive (+) terminal on your aftermarket rear speaker. Purple with black stripe, this is the negative wire to the rear right speaker, run a wire from it to the negative (-) terminal on your aftermarket rear speaker. Black, this is your ground wire, you must connect this to a large peice of metal on your car. If you feel around above where your radio will be you should feel some small bolts, these will do. Blue, this is for a power antenna, I really doubt you have one so just electrical tape it and move on. Light blue, this is optional and some decks don't have it. It is the ATT function on the deck. I didn't connect mine, its more annoyance than help. Electrical tape it and move on. Red, this is your constant power, there should be a yellow wire that you can see in the radio compartment DO NOT CUT THIS WIRE! You can peel back some plastic on it with a razor and wrap around this wire as it is consistant power but do not cut it, you will regret it in the long run. The other option is to find a fuse that always has constant power, not sure which one does. Look in your owners manual for the horn fuse. Yellow, this is your main power, you can also wrap this around the wire that I just talked about. In my setup I ran a wire from the battery down the steering column, connected the yellow wire to the wire running to the battery and continued back to my Amp. On the back of your deck you might have a pair of RCA openings, these are called Pre amp outputs. If you don't have a amp then just ignore them. You will also have a deep round hole, this is where you plug the antenna in. If you have any questions then post. Dont forget to Electical tape all the wires!
