Hello Mr. vic420413,

Greetings from Chicagoland.

If you have a spare $18 or so, you could buy a Haynes' manual, though it is not very thorough. There is a diagram on the audio in the manual.

Usually, the connector for audio should have limited number of wires, as you know. 2 for PWR & GND, 4 or more for speakers (depending on the # of speakers), 1 or 2 for illumination, 1-2 for switching, etc... Also, see if the wires have identifications, I recently installed a radio on a Ford truck and the connector I bought at AutoZone had all id's so the installation was a snap. Without them or diagram, I would have wasted hours with my multimeter to find which wire goes to where.

If there is a shop near you that specializes in automotive audio installation, that would be the quickest way I assume.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you any better at this point.
