hey I have a 1979 oldsmobile cutlass supreme and the wiring for the head unit is not like the standard rectangle plug and I have no idea how to connect the wiring on the beast.  The wiring plugs that are present on the car are 2 round connectors with 5 or 6 wires each and I have no corelation as to what that they would connect on the now standard rectanglular plug.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey wildbilld,

I suggest to look beyond the connectors for the typical GM colors as follows:

Wire Color = Function

GRY = Speaker Return Left Front

TAN = Speaker Feed Left Front

DK GRN = Speaker Return Right Front

LT GRN = Speaker Feed Right Front

BLK = Ground

PPL/WHT = LED Dimming Signal

GRY = Instrument Panel Lamp Feed

YEL = Fuse Accessory

ORN = Fuse Battery

PNK = Power Antenna On
   
LT BLU = Speaker Return Right Rear

DK BLU = Speaker Feed Right Rear

YEL = Speaker Return Left Rear

BRN = Speaker Feed Left Rear
