Pioneer wire colors
I have a Pioneer cd player laying around and want to stick it in my truck. My problem is that I don't have the owners manual so I don't know the color coding on the speaker leads.
I've searched for the model number (which I don't have with me) and it came up empty. I've searched Pioneers webiste and they don't even list the model number.
Aren't the color codes standardized on the things?

Re: Pioneer wire colors (Ak. Mal)
what are the colors? depending on how old it is Pioneer changed their colors. I have owners manuels for many of their radios going back ten years. It should not be a problem letting you know what the colors are.
These have not changed
Yellow constant 12v
Red switched 12v
Orange illumination
Blue power antenna/amplifier
Black ground
the speaker wires is what has changed it might have green and green black/gray and gray black/purple and purple black/and white and white black. Or it could be older and have a few different speaker colors. Some pioneer radios had a few other wires also. So post up what it has and I will try to tell you what they all are.

Re: Pioneer wire colors (EatRice)
It is a Pioneer DEH-235. It is a Wal-Mart el cheapo I bought for temporary use. I think I bought it around 1997.
I have the following unaccounted for wires:
black/green stripe
black/gray stripe
green/red stripe
gray/red strip
gray
gray/black stripe
green
green/black stripe
If the wire colors followed a more conventional method of solid + and stripe - I could figure this out. But what they did just doesn't make sense.
Thanks for the help.
