here is what i have on this car:

12 volt: wht/red

Radio switch: yelw/red

both found behind the radio. As always, check all the wires with a digital meter to make sure they are the right wires.

if the tip you need is how to get the radio out just pop out the lower dash panel pocket below the radio and remove it then there are 2 phillip screws under the radio bezel just remove those then you have to pop the radio bezel out by working around it poping the clips loose then you can just pull the bezel with the radio out.. You may be able to get the wires with just the lower pocket removed if the wires run down that far they would probably be wrapped in black wire loom. Just test with a DMM first.

Hmmm... Is that an aftermarket CD-Changer, what about the bus logic?

i dont mean to sound stupid, but what is the bus logic?? it has the orignal factory cassette and im putting a jvc changer into it(after market). the 12 disc cd changer is going in the trunk. if you could explain anything you know, it would be of help. thanks

Sounds like it's an RF Modulated changer going through the antenna. Once you get the radio out, double check the wires with a "Digital" Multimeter. One wire should give 12 volts without the key in the ignition and another wire will give 12 volts with the key in the "on" or "acc" position. And then find a good ground point to connect the ground wire to. Then, of course, plug in the antenna and set a station on the radio. it should work.
