What do the wire colors stand for?

I have the dash in my 1991 Corolla taken apart and the stock radio out, but I can't figure out which wire goes to what. The cd player that I have to put in has a color diagram on it, so I know what the wires on it are for. Its just that theres no diagram on the stock one. Can anyone tell me which color goes to what in my car please. Im going crazy without music.

Did you cut the factory plug ?? (you should not !!!. ///// Buy Metra adaptors) Makes it easy.

If you cut the plugs either put them back and buy adaptors or check out.

don't cut the blue wire, whatever you do, do not cut the blue one!!! ....or was it the red one, i don't know!


I didn't use a metra adapter either, I used a scosche. But really adapters are the way to go, mine was only $5 at sears.
