I am trying to install a new stereo, the plugs don't match.

I have found several sources for what wire colors are ie power, lf ,rf speakers but they do not match what i have in the car. replacing the stock radio with a dual xdm6820.

Just get a wireing harness from someplace like best(aka worst)buy. You'll get ripped off for 17.99 but it'll have the correct colors, and you dont need to hack off your old connector.Or...befriend someone who works there and the part becomes 1.89 or so. Hmm...wonder why I quit that place now:-\

wal mart has a connector that works on the old school XT6, very surprising as auto parts store don't carry much for that odd ball car. but they might have something for yours. i will say the connector works, but the color codes they supply are incorrect in the packaging, but i imagine newer/more popular cars would be more streamlined.

 

i've seen people post easy ways to tell which wires are which and i've done it, it's not that hard.

 

you can check for continuity between speakers and the wires at the radio as well.

 

have you searched, might be posed on here, alot of that stereo stuff is generic.
