hi all thanks for reading. i just bought a 323 and dont know what all the coloured wires are for. ive got:

white
purple
orange
red/black
blue/orange
blue/red
blue/black

then another plug with:

blue
blue/red
blue/yellow
blue/black

ive blown 6 fuses in my attempts, can anyone save the 7th from death row? thanks!

 

did you get a wiring harness for it? crutchfield has them, or most auto parts shops and whatnot do... wiring harnesses make the job a zillion times easier because usually the wire colors just match up.

in your case, however, i looked around google and came up with this link, it may help you.

Head Unit Wire Harnesses

 

thanks thats it!

ive been a complete plonker, i couldnt match up the harness's from the new radio to the car harness and didnt think to connect the harness from the old radio onto the new radio, if that makes sense. i butchered the wires though so that link will help me build it up again, cheers for that mate.
