Radio wiring diagram

Post by stuclark »

I'm wanting to change the radio in my CSK to a slightly newer unit (92 spec Clarion CD head unit) which of course has the now standard radio connectors. However, the radio / casette currently in the car (also a Clarion unit) doesn't have these connectors and is wired in to different plugs / sockets.

I'd really like to be able to fit a conversion type of cable which would allow me to swap between the "new" and old radio units. Can anyone help me with the wiring...?

I've been having another look into this... I'm beginning to think that the biggest problem might be the inclusion / lack of an amplifier in the radios.

I *think* that the standard radio / cassette in the CSK has an amp built in to it, but it seems that the unit I want to replace it with (PRC8733) doesn't have a built-in amp, so requires an external one (and therefore requires extra wiring).

Or at least, that's what I *think* the various wiring diagrams are telling me...
