You can use a battery size AA find the wire for speaker its a pair ( 2 wires) , usually the color is will not differ some time if pos. no stripe then the neg. has stripe color on it. connect the wire to the batt. and you can hear sound upon touching it to batt. if the wire ic going to the speaker. so you will need only the diagram for new radio.

All you need to do is get a forward and a reverse wiring harness for the radio. go to any type of car audio shop that deals only with car audio and such.

The best way to do it is to buy a wiring harness for your car, go to an automotive place and ask for the correct wiring harness for your car.

Im trying to put an xovision XOD1752BT in my 2005 ford focus and the wires in back of radio aint the same colors on the2005 ford focus can you tell me what color wires go on what color wires.

Hopefully you have not cut off the factory radio plug. Go to any store that sells car audio and buy the adapter harness for your car. The wire colors will then match up.

Wiring for radio

generic wiring schematics seldom match the OEM wiring as to get the diagram the book publishers have to virtually strip down a vehicle as the diagrams are copy write protected. IN many cases the manufacturers of the vehicles change wiring harness suppliers and the OEM schematics will vary to your vehicle. When in doubt take it to an installer and have them fit it as diy people generally install incorrectly and produce faults in the CPU program

I have a 94 SL 5 spd with manual steering. What hardware do I need to convert to power steering?

The car itself is worth 500 dollars if it runs, you are going to spend twice that much converting it. So spend a thousand dollars and buy a 99 saturn with power steering and then sell yours for five hundred. That way you are only out 500 and all of your parts are 5 years newer.

I need a radio manual so I can program my 94 satturn sl model car. I bought it used and no way to program the radio, no instructions.

You will need to go to the Saturn Dealer to obtain the code, the Radio Code Is VIN# specific. Check your Owner's Manual, sometimes it is printed inside of there, or the previous owner may have written it down.
