No I am not turning this into an argument. I can't think of a good
excuse for cutting the factory harness, but I do get your point. I was
needlessly unpleasant in my first reply to tluvz4 and for that I
apologize.

 

Experience is the best teacher. Give your kid sometime until he decides he
wants the factory stereo and he'll learn real quick. You tell him not to do
it without an explanation and choices, and he won't listen.

hack up the wiring. thats what i did when i was a kid too. never again,
though... the aggravation of hacking alone is worth $20. not to mention
being able to get good soldered connections, and being able to go back
to a factory stereo, if needed.

 

Are you turning this into an argument? Ok, ok. FREE is better than $8. It
takes a few days to get the harness if you were to buy it online; teenagers
are very impatient. To buy locally right away, it's usually $15+. Now you
tell me, what would a teenager do?

Randolph, $20 dollars are a lot of money for the average teenage kid (I'm
referring to how much it would cost to get an adapter). After all it's a 91
car. Probably won't be resold, and even if it does, it will go in the hands
of a DIY-er or someone who doesn't care about the wiring. I don't mean treat
it badly but come on now, it's not something you should trip over.

If you're an installer, then you'd suggest the customer spend an extra 20
and have his radio easy to replace without cutting the factory connector.

I installed an aftermarket player in a friend's 92 mitsubishi but since he
didn't have the $20 to spend on a wiring harness, I had to cut the stock
connector and wire the radio directly. It would've been much easier for me
to use a wiring harness. If I had to choose when I was doing the install, I
would've gone for the adaptor since it makes life much easier for everyone
(but it always comes down to the funding :)

That kid need a spanking, and I'm not talking about the kind you pay
women in leather outfits to give you...

The wiring diagram for the stereo is easy to find (manufacturer's web
site), but that is probably not what you need.

Do you still have the connector he cut off, and does it have long enough
wires on it that you can see the wire colors?

I believe the pinout on the '91 is the same as the '92 (even though the
92 is the next generation Civic). You can find the pinout at the end of
the document at
http://www.installdr.com/walkoffhome...PDF/466017.pdf
The factory wire colors might be different than yours, but the function
and location of each pin should be the same. You should be able to piece
it together /if/ the snipped-off connector still can be located.

Disconnect the battery negative cable before working on this, and also
make sure all loose wires are taped off before you drive the car, don't
want short circuits in there! Oh, and make sure your son's retarded
friend does not come within 50' of the car again.

Look on Kenwood's web site. They may have downloadable installation
directions.

Thanx, I know, but it's too late my son's friend already did it. Now I need
the wiring diagram w/o harness. Unfortunately I'm not having much luck. It
was a second hand stereo,so no install directions. If you have any other
ideas I'm listening. Thanx

Is this a question, or a reply to another post?

WalMart has wiring harness adapters so you just plug in without
butchering the car's harness. They may have the kit for mounting too.
