Stereo wiring hi am trying to wire in a car stereo however the iso wiring is different colours to the cars.. so i'm having trouble distinguishing what colour the live, live continues and earth should be in this car.. please help

Yes you can buy an adapter, they are cheap, have a look on ebay

the gauge of the wire may be too small. bring it to a shop.

wires are colour code for the purpose of being able to distinguish what wire is which at the end of the wiring loom(harness) If all the wires were the same colour then identifying where each terminal went would be impossible. IT means that if you have a main red wire with a purple stripe in the engine compartment then where ever you find that wire in the car /under dash / in the boot it is the same wire regardless of how many connections and diversions there are.

use a 9volt battery and grab only speaker wires only and touch them to the 9vt battery this will tell witch speaker is witch. for mor help please call 419 689 1114 for futher assistance i will be more then happy to help you

if you are putting an after marker stereo the wiring is different from a stock radio some audio stores sell adapters for after market stereos that you jus clip on to stock wiring

WIRES ARE DIFFERENT!

YOU HAVE TWO OPTTIONS

1. YOU CAN GET AN ADAPTER LIKE AT WALMART FOR $7 MADE JUST FOR YOUR CAR AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CUT ANY WIRES

OR

2. YOU NEED TO CUT THE WIRES, THEN YOU CAN GO TO WWW.INSTALLER.COM AND THE COLOR CODE CHART FOR YOUR CAR

Go to halfords or somwher like that buy the iso connector for your make and model
if your car still has the ford plugs on the ends of the wires just plug in the connector between car and stereo If the ford plugs are missing cut the ford end off the connector match the wires to your car and solder together and plug into your stereo or any others you buy in the future with an ISO connection Did this with my 89 orion.
