Wiring (if you have the directions or at least know what wires go to
what, it shouldn't be hard. If not...
Coming out of the stereo ***usually*** is something like:
Red = Positive - constant power - retains clock and channel mem.
Yellow = switched power - turns off stereo when you shut off the car
(wish mine did that)
Black = ground (negative)
Blue = dash lights - dims the display at night
Green = power antena (Yeah, right.)
Speaker wires by trial and error.
Now for my question...
I would REALLY like a CD player too. B U T, I don't want to hack out a
big section of the dash.
Okay, so it's two questions.
1) Just out of curiousity, (assuming it's available), what does that
section of dash cost if I wanted to replace it later?
2) Has anyone done this, (cut the dash to accomodate a modern car
stereo)? What did you use to cut the dash? How hard was it do?
