Hi,

I've got an AM/FM/CD player that I pulled out of a 1996 Dodge Stratus (I
think this is basically the same as a Chrysler Sirrus) that I am trying to
install into my 1987 GMC S15 quarter ton truck. I'm a little confused on
the pinouts (quite different between the two) and thought there might be
some experts out there to offer some advice.

Chrysler Pinout (2 connectors, 14 pins):

Feed connector Speaker connector
----------------- ----------------------
| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | | 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
----------------- ----------------------

The top label provides the following:

Part Number: P4858555
12V D.C. Negative Ground

1: BAT
2: ACC
3: ILL
4: PARK
5: RF-
6: LF-
7: MUTE
8: RR-
9: LR-
10: RF+
11: LF+
12: RR+
13: LR+
14: ANT

GMC S15 (DELCO Radio) Pinout:

------- ------- ---------
| 1 2 | | 5 6 | | 9 10 |
| 3 4 | | 7 8 | | 11 12 |
------- ------- ---------

My quarter ton only has 7 wires out of the total of 14 hooked up (no rear
speakers), the others are blanked. After an afternoon of googling, it looks
like these are the interesting pins

1: 12V power
2: (empty) Antenna
3: Ground
4: Illumination
5: RF-
6: LF-
7: RF+
8: LF+
9: (empty) LR-
10: (empty) RR-
11: (empty) LR+
12: (empty) RR+
13: (empty) Memory
14: (emtpy) Dimmer

Ok, so I hook up the two radios using the following mappings:

C1 - G1
C5 - G5
C6 - G6
C10 - G7
C11 - G8
C3 - G4

This doesn't work. Radio doesn't turn on, no activity. I've realised that
I have no idea which pins I should be using for 12V DC and Ground on the
Chrysler radio, and didn't want to just pin hop experiment. Anyone have a
suggestion? Where should the G1 (12V) and the G3 (Ground) attach to the
chrysler radio? I know for certain that both the radio and the wires in the
truck are ok -- the chrysler radio works in the stratus, and the old delco
works in the truck.

Thanks in advance. Please reply both the newsgroup, and via email if you
don't mind )...

I believe the Chrysler radio gets it's ground though the case. Is
there a stud on the case for hooking up a ground wire?

Must be hot when key is on.

It takes two power pins and ground to make a modern radio work.

Hi,

1: BAT
Must be hot

2: ACC

Must be hot when key is on.

Did you have power to pin two?

It takes two power pins and ground to make a modern radio work.

This is exactly what I was missing, I only tried havin the ignition OR the
battery hot, not both. So, the radio powers up now.

But...all I get coming out is a series of short beeps that get faster and
faster. Is this some kind of anti-theft measure (in a stock radio!?), or is
there something I need attached to the powered antenna? (I currently just
have a bare wire from that pin).

Thanks for all the good suggestions thus far!
