Stereo wiring HELP!
 

OK I just bought a '92 Protege DX. Seems the previous owner wanted an aftermarket stereo and decided to cut the factory wiring harness off :eek: (And did a really crappy job at that, only one speaker works and the power antenna does not go up)
Well I have a nice new Panasonic CD player sitting here and I can't wire it up!
Does anyone have a wiring diagram or at least tell me the colors of the factory wires and what they're for??

Thanks a bunch

G1 Radio wire colors.
 

blue/red = 12v power
blue/black = ignition switched power

blue/orange = driver door speaker
violet = driver door speaker

white = passenger door speaker
blue/white = passenger door speaker

white/blue = driver rear speaker
black/blue = driver rear speaker

blue/white = passenger rear speaker
blue = passenger rear speaker

red/black = illumination

it doesn't say which is + or - for the speakers, but all you need is a 9volt battery and the speakers installed. touch each post of the battery with the speaker wires and watch the speaker, if it pops outward, your polarity is correct, if it sucks it inward, then it's reversed.

The power antenna must be after market and will work if the correct wire is given 12v+. The Panasonic could either have a dedicated power antenna wire, an amp turn on wire or both power antenna and remote amp turn on wires.

my panasonic does have seperate amp/antenna turn on wires but which one in the factory wires is for the antenna, or is it some entirely different system?

Thanks for the rest of the info though :)

Nevermind about the power antenna, I have no idea why I thought there was one haha...guess I'm not used to having a pull out one :D

:laugh:
right, no power antenna's on a 1st gen, don't think they came on 2nd gens either...maybe not even 3rd gens, 'cept for the P5...??:dunno:

I guess by now, you should be groovin to some tight tunes :bt:

P5 antenna
 

No power antenna on my P5, just that little guy on the roof with the cool backwards rake to it :cool:... amazingly that is a darn good antenna (or the reciever in the stock head unit is above average, which I doubt).

But of course! And this ain't half done :D
