Hey, I just picked up this Alpine head unit and I'm trying to install it myself. I got the stock head unit out, and cut the plug off the wires coming through into the inside of the stereo cavity. I plan to just hardwire all the wires together, from the head unit into this wire bundle, but I can't for the life of me find a audio wiring diagram for my 2001... Just every other year....
Anyway, if anyone could help me out here and pair these head unit color/descriptions up with the colors they should connect to... or even better, just point me to a proper wiring diagram/something similar, that'd be great.
Also, will I run into any problems with this twist 'em together and tape 'em up" approach?
Here are the head unit colors:
Red - Switched Power
Pink - Audio Interrupt in Lead
Orange - Illumination
Gray - Front Right Speaker +
Gray/Black - Front Right Speaker -
White - Front Left Speaker +
WHITE/ Black - Front Right Speaker -
Black - Ground Lead
Blue - Power Antenna Lead
Blue/White - Remote Turn On Lead
Violet - Rear Right Speaker +
Violet/Black - Rear Right Speaker -
Green - Rear Left Speaker +
GREEN/ Black - Rear Left Speaker -
Yellow - Battery Lead
Thanks :]

Why not go and spend the 20 bucks on the correct parts and not hack the truck wiring? You will also need the anenna adapter cause the one in the truck is too small for the new radio. If you get the harness you need then all you will have to do is match up the wires color for color. And never twist and tape. Most stereo shops will give you a handful os butt connects. if not you can get them from anywhere for less than $2.00

a couple questions

do you have onstar?

does the door chime come through the driver door speaker?

do you have a bose system in there?

if you say yes to any of these questions the install will be a lot harder than you think and you should take it to a professional.
