    Default anyone remember which wires to splice for Cd player?

    I remember having this problem in my 94. I just put in my aftermarket cd player headunit. Radio works fine, CD player has no sound.
    I remember having to swap a wire, but I can't remember which ones and I can't find anything on this new board in the archives anymore

    Anyone wanna help me out? I have the antenna adaptor and the headunit adaptor.
    thanks!

    I had the exact same problem when I installed mine. It's the auto turn on wire from your aftermarket's harness. There should be detailed wiring diagrams in your cd player's manual or whatever. I think that the auto turn on wire (it was blue on my clarion) needs to be connected to the blue/white stripe on the adaptor. I'm pretty sure thats it.

    yeah, thats right, I had the same problem. To be sure, you can pull the carpet away in the trunk by the amplifier. There should be separate plugs for power, signal in, and signal out. Find the power bunch and look for a white or white/blue wire, or another wire that matches what you have behind the dash to be sure.
