I have a panasonic cd player that was hooked into the cassette deck on a 96 subaru outback. I would like to put the cd player with the cassette deck in my 97 toyota t100.

Both cassette decks were manufactured by Matsushita. The cd player plugs into my toyota cassette deck, but there are two additional wires on the cd player, but they appear to just be power and ground for the backlights. When I plug it in, it does not work. Probably the plugs are wired differently, even though they plug together. The plug in question is the small round one, approx. 1/2 inch in diameter. It plugs the cd player into the back of the cassette deck.

Is there anywhere I could find out if they are wired differently and so rewire it to work?

I know you are probably wondering why I don't go buy a new cd player, but I like factory players because of their simplicity, and I have this one out of the subaru.

Sorry, they are both manufactured by Matsushita.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure if it was more stereo specific or wiring specific.

That is funny, tho...

-->As far as interconecting them? Probably not going to happen. Just because they "come from the same genes", as it were, that DOES NOT mean that they are going to speak the same language. Think: "Twins, born to the same parents (Matsush-ta) both kids given up for adoption, one adopted in Mexico, (the Toyota) and the other in North Korea (the Subaru)". Same situation. Different languages, same "hardware", as it were...

That HARDWARE will interconnect OK, because it's cheaper that way... Software and firmware costs little to NOTHING to re-write. Hardware requires re-tooling.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
