Installing a 2002 chrysler cd receiver

My son wrecked his new chrysler and i have comeup with the stereo out of it.. God, I am trying to put it in a 1979 chev 3/4 ton p/u..  Course my old truck doesnt have the new modern connectors, LOL. what I need to know is what are the connector wiring colors on this chrysler one.. and how do they matchup with my old chevy..  thanks guys..

I found the color codes in wiring section on here.. Now the only thing I have to do is make sure it all matches up and see if it will work.. Gotta cut a hole in the dash to make this big hummer fit, then rock and roll..  If anyone has any suggestions would appreciate them..??

Thanks Chris..

I see that unique antenna plug.. I for sure have to fix that, my old window plug is the only thing I got to work with.. Didnt even think of best buy..  Say do these new fangled units have to be completely hookup up to work.. I am only going to use the rear speaker, somebody told me that all the wires have to be connected for this chrysler radio to work.. Is that right, or can I just use my old backyard splices.. hehehe.. Dont get me wrong this 79 has been completely restored and is painted a gunmetal gray that is mean looking..

The Metra wiring harness that should plug into your Chrysler radio and allow you to hook it up easily is 71-1817.

In theory, the only things that need to be hooked up are constant power, ground, and switched power.  With that, the unit should turn on.  Assuming the head unit has built-in power amps, It really doesn't matter to the radio if you use one or four of the speaker outputs (as long as they are used properly.)  So yes, you should be able to just hook up the rear set.

If it's an Infinity system there are extrnal amps in the Chrysler and the head unit may not be powered.  If this is the case you will have to use an external amp for your speakers... and the Metra adapter above may not work.

I also seem to recall that some Chrysler Infinity systems do have built-in security codes, but since this came out of one of your vehicles you should have that if it is needed.

Chris,

Shoot I cut the wiring harness wires off when I got the radio out of it.. thinking I knew mine didnt have one.. Thought all I had to do was hook it up to mine.. But I see I was wrong there.. This chrysler one has 14 wires on it.. The only two I couldnt figure out was one being Purple and yellow and the other Green and red.. I hooked up the ignition wires to mine.. grounded it and it wouldnt turn on.. Perhaps it is an infinity system, I am not sure.. From what you are saying I need to also hook up the constant power to have it turn on.. Right?? Didnt the infinity system have more than 4 speakers??  I looked at the site on that part number and didnt see any oem harness for the radio itself.. hmmmmmm...  I am going to have to ask my kid what was in that car.. When he gets back from Iraq..
