Help Me Out Please, Wiring

[aPapester]

Hey Can Someone help me out? So i bought a new stereo thinking that the harness on the one that came with the car would just plug in into it. apparently not

I dont wanna drop 100$ for a stereo shop to just twist some wires together



Can someone just pair together the numbers and letters for me? I just have no idea what each wire goes to.

I hate driving around without sound and delivering pizza's is gonna suck tomorrow without a stereo

First question: year, model please.

Second, did you look at the sticky on how to wire your stereo?

Everything you need to know is in that thread.

Feel free to PM me if you need more help.

I love when people make it seem like it's super easy to do themselves, and there is no way you should pay a shop to do it, but can't do it themselves, after all, it "just twisting some wires together"

Anyways, do you own a multimeter? You can use that and a 1.5 volt battery to determine what wire goes where. Or read the sticky I guess.

No battery popping an amplified car, you know that!

Yeah I looked through it but I couldn't make sense of it, I tried that wiring but it wouldn't start up
