Original Wiring Colors

[jbrunk]

This ones for all the stereo guys out there.

I bought my friends old crappy x-plod head unit the other day and installed it with little trouble- exept having to take quite a bit apart just to get to the bose. but anyway, i hooked it all up and it lit up and all, but when i put a cd in it wouldnt play. i could see the track title and the song playing but it wasnt coming trough the speakers.

I need to know the factory wire colors, and maybe the sony colors and what each of these goes to. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks

Well, not quite sure about the factory GM wiring, but most aftermarket harnesses follow this scheme...
Yellow- Battery
Red- Accesory
Black- Ground
Blue- Power Antenna
Blue w/line- remote
Orange (pink)- Illumination
White- Left front pos
White/Blk- left front neg
Gray- Right front pos
gray/blk- right front neg
green- left rear pos
green/blk- left rear neg
purple- right rear pos
purple/blk- right rear neg

Aha!
GM--
Dark Blue- RR+
Light Blue- RR-
Brown- RL+
Yellow- RL-
Light Brown- FL+
Gray- FL-
Light Green- FR+
Dark Green- FR-
The best thing to do would be to go to one of the local audio shops and pick up the harness that changes factory wires into the aftermarket standard colors... then splice the sony plug to it...

if you have the bose system, its a whole lot harder, i believe.
