i have an old cd player i want to hookup in my jeep but lost the instructions. is there anyway to find out what wire is for what? the diagram for the jeep wires is on the stock radio just need to figure out the cd players wires. audio shops want more than its worth to hook it up. its a panasonic CQ-C1001U if that helps.

The cd player wiring should be regular aftermarket colors:

Yellow-12 volt constant, Red-12 volt accessory, Black-ground, Blue-power antenna, Orange- illumination

White-Left front +, WHITE/ black-left front -

Grey-Right front +, Grey/black- right front -

Green-Left rear +, GREEN/ black- left rear -

Purple-Right rear +, PURPLE / black- right rear -

i have no clue when it comes to wiring lol. i think i can figure out the speakers. after the speaker wires are seperated there is no orange i have yellow,black,and red. then theres a blue and blue/white that have never been used still have the caps on the end. so would my yellow go to battery,red go to acc/ign,blue to the power antenna,black to the ground, and then i'm left with the blue/white so would that one be the illumination ?

no, the blue/white is your amp turn on lead. The only reason I said orange is some radio's have it and some don't. You have the other wires right.
