I need a wiring diagram for the stereo. I have a Pioneer system that I am trying to install and need the pin out diagram for the factory stereo. It has 2 8 pin connectors side by side and then 1 7 pin connector behind it. I don't want to start cutting so can someone post a diagram for me?

You should be able to find them here, The Install Doctor - The Do-It-Yourself Car Stereo Installation Resource. This site has wiring info on many makes and models. If this does not help my next question is did the car have a premium Mach stereo or regular base model? I can provide the info for both just let me know. You can buy a adapter harnesses for this specific reason and they only cost about $10. You just connect the aftermarket stereo to the harness and plug it into the factory plugs. You can get them at your local Best Buy and even Walmart. Here is a pic of the harness for standad(not Mach) stereo. If this is the right plug you can tell what the wires are just by looking at the colors. Need more help just let me know.

Thanks Kevo...I have the regular base stereo I think. It doesn't say Mach or anything and had a CD player mounted under the stereo. I have recently changed out the front speakers and my son got me a Pioneer stereo for X-mas(I know, I'm dragging a bit on this). We pulled the stereo yesterday and came to an abrupt halt when I saw the pin connectors. So you can buy those adapter harnesses at walmart?

Are you trying to replace your stereo with aftermarket and bypass the factory amps? What is your goal? What year is your Mustang? If you are replacing your stereo with aftermarket you have two options, integrate the factory amps and speakers or replace the speaker too and wire direct. Here is a link to where I explain the issues,http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...ach-460-a.html

RJ8806, Walmart had it in stock last time I was there, auto parts stores usually sell them too.
