Am replacing headunit and need help on wiring. Installing a Avic-n3 in dash. Does anyone have color codes on factory wiring?. Would like to use as many from original headunit as possible?

Check on top of your old radio. It should have a wireing color code chart....then just match them up. Usually the colors are the same as the new unit.

Assuming we are talking about a 92+ C4 dont you have to use tan aftermarket adapter to the behind the glove box reciver?

If not why would you want to go hacking wires back up in there?

That would be a HUGE PITA. JMHO

You almost never have to use an adapter. An adapter kit just usually makes life easier. I am not all sure what a 92 and up might have hinding in the forsaken lands but it sounds if that is true it might be alot easier to just get a kit. It all depends on what you want to use and if you want to by-pass anything. Good luck on the install though!
