Default Help with wiring aftermarket headunit Please!!

Hey,
I just bought a 1992 ES 300.
It currently has a 10 disk cd changer and the stock headunit so I want to put an aftermarket headunit in.

Before you read anymore I would like to say that I've spent multiple hours trying to find the information to do this on the net and I could'nt find anything that enabled me to complete the install.

I got the stock headunit out with ease (I was quite surprised). I just need to know what color wires I need to matchup with my wiring harness. I've taken a couple pictures so you know what I'm working with.

I'm installing a Alpine headunit, 600watt Kenwood amp, vented bandpass box with two 12" infinity subs (1200w max a piece).

Thanks for the help!!

Here's a picture of the wires coming out of the stock head unit

If you need me to clarify any of the colors just tell me

Thanks alot!

I looked around for one and couldn't find it. The local audioshops didn't have any in stock. I figured if i could just find out which wires to matchup it would be quicker (since i wouldnt have to wait on shipping) and cheaper.

Blacksburg. I'm a big Virginia Tech fan!

Yeh the car is in mint condition. The interior is immaculate.. Someone certainly babied this car!

My plans for the car:
Stereo upgrades
intake
tinted windows
18" chrome rims
Possibly paint it black at some point (but the current paint is in excellent condion so I'm not sure when I'll do this)

ah, just asking because my girlfriend just moved from lynchburg, VA.

it looks great! looks like you have a little fogging in the driver side headlight... but it may just be the picture... it's a really easy fix.

do you have AIM?
