Step 2: Identify the Wiring Harness
Locate the wiring harness that came with your Pioneer CD player. It will typically be a black or gray connector with multiple wires.
Step 3: Identify the Car Stereo Wiring Harness
Locate the wiring harness for your car stereo. It will typically be a different color than the Pioneer CD player harness and will have the same number of wires.

Step 5: Connect the Wires
Connect the wires from the Pioneer CD player harness to the wires from the car stereo harness by twisting them together.
Step 6: Solder the Wires (optional)
For a more secure connection, you can solder the wires together. To do this, heat the soldering iron until it is hot, and then apply a small amount of solder to the twisted wires.
Step 7: Wrap the Wires with Electrical Tape
Wrap the twisted wires with electrical tape to insulate them.
Step 8: Connect the Power
Reconnect the power to your car stereo by replacing the fuse in the fuse block.
