yes, you read that right. 85 tempo. i pulled it out of storage cause
our other car is having too many issues. as a project yesterday i
pulled a cd player out of the closet and decided i was gonna wire it
up. BUT! whoever installed the poineer cassette player back in the
day was a little too happy with wire cutters! i bought it used in 90
or 91 so i've never so much as touched the wiring of the radio before.

i can't find a wiring diagram or colors or anything! is there someone
who can let me know what's what? i need to know colors, etc.

the cassette player that was in there worked fine previously.

Try asking on rec.audio.car. You might also be able to find some
diagram info at crutchfield.com.
