CD player wiring troubles

My cd player quit working, so I bought a Pioneer one, thinking that I could just plug it in and go. The plug was a different style, so now im stuck. Ive got the pigtail with the deck, but the colors dont match up to the stock wiring. What do I do? Is there a diagram somewhere?

I think this link will take you to two harness pigtails.. you have the cd player side, right?

pick up one of these at Best Buy.. join them together then its plug & play..

If you are asking the question you have posted you HAVE NO BUSINESS installing a radio in a car.... it should only be about 30-50 bucks to pay someone to do it.... Either do a ton of research and learn or pay to have it done.

Thanks for your concern, but I found what I needed. Some people on this site are actually helpful.

If I may ask, what are using to connect the wires together?

Micro Torch

That will work, I was just trying to make sure the OP was using something appropriate.
