How do you wire up a CD player to a 1986 Chevrolet Celebrity stereo wiring?

Answer 1

Quite easy to do if....your original wiring for the radio is all there including the connectors! If so, all you need to do is go to Canadian Tire if in Canada, Walmart automotive section, or a do it yourself car parts supplier or aftermarket audio store and you can buy a connector that is made for your car specifically. It will give you a connector that plugs directly into your original radio connectors that used to connect into the back of your original car radio. The connector comes with a pamphlet to tell you what wires on the connector are for power, ground, speakers, and what not. Simply use the wiring info supplied with the CD player to match the wires to the correct wires on the CD player and once they are connected plug the two connectors together. You can usually find the info on which colored wire is for what on a sticker on the CD player itself. The connector you need to purchase is approximately 7.00 Canadian (likely about 4.00 American)

remember to wire the orange wire to the battery because if you don't your dash lights, dome lights and horn wont work. i found this out the hard way.
