I want to install an aftermarket stereo in my 1996 Kia Sportage. The wires are differently colored than the cars factory wire color! I need to know which wire goes to what!
Dont know if you tried this already but go to a car audio store and ask for an adapter the plugs into your stereo and then it plugs into the factory wiring harness. its easier and cleaner and less stressfull. if you done so write back and Ill see if I can send you a pick or something.

Go by a stereo shop and get an adapter for your car. It connects all of the correct wires to the aftermarket radio without damaging or removing wires from old connector.
does this model have the built in amp? brownred may be the clock. do you know what each of the wires on the stereo controls? if you know this i can help you.
either way give me a list of the colors you dont know
every vehicle is different. If you get a radio harness (just plugs into the factory plug) from an automotive store the colours will correspond to the aftermarket stereo unit
