It's a 98 GL. This is the first time I tough the audio/car. Forgive me if these are really dumb questions, and please help shed some light on this:
I am replacing the factory radio/cassette for a newer model CD. I can find the 8 wires to the speakers, but am puzzled on the rest wirings. Plus, it's different than what on the diagram of the Haynes manual (http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=528075755&size=o).
The Haynes manual has 6 wires:
1: Orange/Black, looks like connect to the battery;
2: Black/Green, looks like to the Ground;
3: Blue/Black, looks like to the ignition switch;
4: White/Green: looks like to the light switch;
5: Black/Orange: to alarm;
6: Black/Green: to the Ground;
The actual wiring:
Same as the diagram, except:
- No. 5 is missing (understandable, as no alarm equipped);
- 7: Blue/Red, not sure where it connects to
The new unit only require 3 wires: ground/battery/ignition
So the questions:
1) Is it right that Wire No. 1 is the battery, No. 2 is the ground, and No. 3 is the ignition?
2) What do I do with the original wirings of No. 4, 6, 7?
3) What is the function of wire 7?
thank you very much!
