Mx3 stock stereo wiring to new head unit

Post by Letters11 »

Hello all,
I have a 1995 mx3 and it still has the stock cassette player in it. Im still working on getting that thing out of there but i was wondering what is the easiest way to get the correct wires for my aftermarket head unit. I searched around and counldnt really find anything of the same nature but i will keep searching this site. I was looking on ebay and i saw some wiring harnesses for around $6. Im not sure what i need to get my head unit to work. All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The harness I have even has the component written on each wire (ie: rear left, right front, battery, etc.) and they are color coded.

That chart is WRONG!

blue/white can't be three things at once.
