new radio

Hi Dags
When your next down at a car parts/acc store, grab a manual such as gregorys.
I bought mine for $50,may seem a lot but there be other stuff in there that you don't know you'll need later, and yes it has a wiring diagram

Hi dags should be able to buy a conversion plug brand x to brand b strathfield dick smith super cheap
regards flatout

Just pulled the following from the Gregorys #520 manual for the TD and diesel.

Battery + = Blue/violet
Acc +ve = Grey
Aerial = Violet
Earth = Brown
LF speaker + = pink
LF speaker - = Violet
RF speaker + = Light Green
RF speaker - = Blue
LR speaker + = Black
LR speaker - = Yellow
RR speaker + = Red
RR speaker - = White

When I did the Rodeo I approached it a different way: I Googled the radio/cassette model I was taking out and got a wiring code.
I used that to work out the car's wiring code by checking what colours joined what, before I disconnected the old unit.

Dags, looks like PhilG has given you the answer you were after.
(Just in case it doesn't work out for some reason, you can tap wires on the terminals of a 9volt battery and listen for the "clicking" speaker. *** DO NOT hold on though- and do as quickly as possible- otherwise you can fry the voice coil by sending it a DC signal. I use a Telco "F-Set" at work to trace cables, but you're unlikely to have access to one??)

Hot tip- DON'T cut the factory unit's plug off- strip the cables back and solder on your new radio's cables- makes it easier to revert to original set-up down the line. Also, if you've got an auxilliary battery, best to run the radio power to that and just join (parallel) the radio's ignition trigger wire to the radio's power wire.

thanks for your help and tips everyone Dags

If ya have a look at most car acc places they have plug adapters that plug into the olf stereo plug and then straight into the new system. I know you can get them for most normal cars but 4bys Im not sure.
