I got a panasonic head unit but i don't have the diagram for what the wires are. I think its 16 pin. My brother tried to hook it up but it keeps blowing fuses. I aready have the wire harness diagram for my 92 eclipse. I just need to know what the wires coming from the head unit do for a 16 pin, thanks

If it's a head unit made within the last 3 or 4 years the colors will definitely just match up to the colors of the wiring harness you got for your vehicle. This is the standard that all aftermarket manufacturers follow:

blue wire goes to the power antenna wire, yellow goes to +12v constant, and black goes to ground. Not sure why there's two black wires but you should probably hook up both of them to ground. Do they look like they both come from the same spot on the harnes? Or are they totally separate wires?

What about a red wire? wasn't there one of those? There should definitely be some kind of wire which tells the head unit only to turn on when the key is in the accessory or ON position. Usually this is a red wire but the coloring might be a bit different.

Here's the manual online, you should be able to figure it out from here as a last resort.
