Default Bose Question (Again?? Oh no...)

I bought a 1.5 DIN Gold Bose am/fm/cd for my 86 Vette which has a Bose cassette that sucks. Anyway,the new unit came out of a 91 Caddy and I had no problem making it fit the car with just slight modification...

How the heck do I connect the wiring??? The plug-in's in my car sure don't match the radio, though I would assume that all my wires sould mate up with some pin on the radio.

Anyone have any ideas??? Where can I get the proper plugs to plug into the new radio?? :confused: :banghead: :confused:

I just went through the exact same thing, except, I held off on buying the identicle radio because the dealer told me that although the radio will fit with some minor alterations; you will need to secure the wiring diagrams for the old Boese system and the new one to marry the two together. You may be able to buy a conversion plug to connect the old system to the new radio. Good luck and keep me posted on how you make out.
