Well, may be most brands. I replace the Clarion cassette radio with a Blaupunkt CD/radio. No more codes. The car is 89 900S. I believe the radio wiring is the same. Eight wires for the four speakers, one constant power, one switched power, one switched power for the antenna(may be only one switched power) and a ground. Bentley has the descriptions.
