Well its all pretty much color coded. You will have two hanresses. One to plug into the stock harness of the car and the other for the headunit. The either solder or crimp all the wires together by matching up color plug and play and you finished pretty much.

I don't know about the two blue wires from the stock, but the blue from the HU is to signal an amplifier to turn on or off when you turn your HU on or off. I suggest going to Bestbuy or Circuitcity for a harness. I've seen the at Walmart too. About 5-10 bucks, all problems solved. Good luck

Yo what up? ya, i tried installing a head unit in my dad's car, a 1986 chevy celebrity, and well lets just say i messed some of the things on the dash up. I got the dash back together, but i cant seem to get it apart enough, when i had it apart, to take out the stock system and install my new head unit and then reinstall the dash. If anyone has any advise please help! thankx!!!

Just one question, where does the ground wire goes?
I have a 1992 Toyota Paseo.

Also, should I cut the wires already there to crimp them with the ones for the head unit??
