in general red to hot and black to ground the colors go to the speakers. if you want the thing to run when ever.
if you are wanting to hook it up soit only plays with the switch on then test the wires to see which ones are hot at the cars radion plug and use that wire for the red power wire.

either way you hook it up it may have a always hot lead for the clock that goes strtaight to the fuse box.

if you have the original harness in the dash with the plastic connector on it go to walmart or best buy or someplace that sells the adaptor. i think they run between 5-20 dollars depending on where you buy.

it'll have everything that goes to the orinal harness and will have directions for connecting it to you aftermarket head unit.

it'll tell you what wire on the adapter sid is what and then you match them to your head units wires.
