[QUOTE="ytradio, post: 431532, member: 19779"] If the other end of those wires still has a connector on them you may be able to go to a stereo shop and get an adapter harness for your Pioneer to the Jeep. It looks like to me you already had a different radio installed and someone cut the radio end plug off. If you don’t go the new harness route you need a meter. In my experience red is usually switched hot wire. Black is radio ground, yellow is continuous power supply to memory, you know clock and preset stations. I would check these with the meter to be sure. Then the rest should be for the speakers, and they will usually be colored pairs. Like two browns two greens, usually one of the pairs will have a different colored stripe to designate pos or neg between the two speaker wires. I’m not sure if the Jeep will have 4 sets of speaker wires or only 2. But the new Pioneer will probably have 4 sets. Just don’t use them all if you don’t have 4 speakers. You will have to use the balance and front to back fader to figure out which ones are which. [/QUOTE]
