Re: Installing New Stereo

>  93 9000CSET.  How difficult is it to install ? Thanks.

Pretty straight forward.  There are two rectangular harness connectors 
behind the factory Clarion head unit.  This is where your new head unit will 
make it's power, ground, electric-antenna and speaker connections.

I don't think there's a panel-dimmer wire provided.  If your radio 
illumination has the ability to dim along with your panel lights (and if you 
*must* have this feature hooked up), splice into a brown/white wire behind 
one of the dash switches (e.g. one of the seat-heeater rheostats).

You might find that there are no rear speaker wires provided in the 8-pin 
speaker connector.  In this case, you have a Clarion power amp under the 
passenger seat.  The rear speaker wires only go this far.  The amp connects 
to the Clarion head unit with a special cable with round plugs on the ends.

You'll also find that your '93 is pre-wired for a 6-pack CD changer.  A 
cable with round plugs on the ends runs from the vicinity of the electric 
antenna to the area behind the head unit.  I think it's got nine individual 
wires in it, so it might be useful (if the ends were appropriately cut and 
spliced) for hooking up a trunk-mounted changer for your new stereo system.
