Need Help Don't know what to do

I believe I have an extra pair of plugs for the stereo, if your interested and willing to drive to Santa Cruz, I'll give them to you.

Re: Need Help Don't know what to do
yes, you'll need to get the harness. they go from $9 - $19 Cdn. well worth it.
Re: Need Help Don't know what to do
The Harness I saw(online) I don't think they will fit what I got. The mx-3's casette stereo has like 3 slots...a big one, a small one...and then a plug...And power plug. The Sony stereo has one plug big plug. Then actual Left Right Audio jacks...same ones you'll find in house stereo. I'll check it out. But I'm curious if the harness could adapt to everything <P>Jason

Re: Need Help Don't know what to do
no, it will fit. The adapter will connect the two sets(or it should). Or you can do it the hard way and cut all the wires and look at a chart to tell which color wire is which feature....

Re: Need Help Don't know what to do
Look up Car Stereo in your Yellow Pages and go down and pick up the wiring harness... if you plan on keeping that stereo for a long time or whatever.<P>Trust me, doing the stuff yourself will save you money to buy more toys, or lunch at McD's!

Re: Need Help Don't know what to do
You can do it without an adapter harness just got to match wires correctly<BR>here you go<BR>Here's what I get from the online manual wiring diagram pg Z-102<BR>Blue/red - battery<BR>Blue/black - Ignition<BR>Black - ground<BR>Red - deck lighting (avoid not needed)<BR>Red/black - deck lighting (avoid not needed)<BR>blue/orange - front left -<BR>Violet - front left +<BR>white - front right -<BR>Blue/white - front right +<BR>Pink - rear left -<BR>grey/black - rear left +<BR>light green/red - rear right -<BR>light green/black - rear right +<P>the red and red/black wire are part of the interior lighting dimmer circuit for the instrumentation lights. for an aftermarket radio they are not needed unless the unit has provision for this but most don't.
