    First off, I dont know anything about car stereos.

    I have an 88 Grand Prix, I acquired a Kenwood CD deck from Jishory a few days ago.

    The stereo in the car right now is the factory stereo. There is a tape deck and a radio. I pulled out the stereo inside the car and all of the wires are way different than the harness that came with the stereo I got from Josh. Do I need to buy anything to make the Kenwood fit? Is there a way I can match up the wires and just use wire connectors?

    If so, how would I go about finding out which wire goes where?


    Thanks.


    I found this while searching around. How accurate does the info look?

    You can go to wal mart or something and buy a wiring harness that will match it up
