Go to a good dealer, they'll sell you the appropriate adapter to plug the radio right in w/o any messing about with cable splices.
Many aftermarket companies sell adapters for aftermarket wire harnesses. They have the original factory harness at one end and you cennect that to the harness that came with the radio. Check your local car audio installer.
One of the easiest and quickest ways to do this, is to go to an audio store and buy a wire harness. It should plug right into the factory plug (providing that it is still intact) and then plug into your new radio. If not, it will have ready to go wires for the harness that came with your radio.
well the ground is balck, power is yellow and red, and the remote is usually blue, to find the speakers you can get a AA battery and put the other wires to it and the speaker that makes a buzz that is the one it belongs to.
it might, it depends on the brand of the new radio and what plugs they use. if not, most good electronic stores sell adapters to join different brands if you dont want to strip and splice the wires by hand.

Buy a harness for your vehicle... splice the wires together by color.. wrap them in electrical tape =)
go to a place where they sell car stereos and ask for a wire harness for your van they only cost about 20 bucks and they pulg into your factory wire harness and the harness wires should be color matched to your stereo if it an after market stereo
you have to go to walmart.. go and pick up a harness conversion kit.. they are like 10 bucks.. or go to any auto store.. then match the colors or lettering of the wires to the new wires on the harness.. it will come with a color diagram as well.. its an easy 10 minute job.
you need the proper wiring harness to change the stereo in a cobalt or the security features will kick in once you have the proper harness you just have to match wires

go to wall mart buy a after market harness and a wire crimp set remove old radio conect new harness to existing old one and crimp all the same color wires from the new harnes to the new radio its easy
Its fairly simple. you will need to unscrew your dash and pull off the front plate of your dash, then you will need to unscrew the stock radio, then you will need to go ahead and pull out the adapter from the back of your radio. Next you will need to attach your adapter harness to your car harness and splice the color coded wires to the harness on your new CD player.-Shocker
To wire a Hino truck radio, first disconnect the truck's battery to prevent any electrical shorts. Remove the old radio by unscrewing it and unplugging the wiring harness and antenna. Connect the new radio by matching the wires from the radio harness to the corresponding wires in the truck (usually color-coded), ensuring proper connections for power, ground, and speakers. Once connected, secure the radio in place, reattach the battery, and test the radio for functionality.
Usually the aftermarket radio you put in needs a wiring harness you can buy at most audio stores and big electronic stores like Best Buy. The back of the package will tell you which wires connect by color. Remember, solder is the best tool for connecting wires but usually permanent.
