Default 1993 SC400 CD Changer Pinout

Hi folks,

Long story short, I purchased an adapter from Amazon that plugs into the OEM CD changer port on the back of my stereo to give me an aux input. Well it doesn't work - at least not as-is. I imagine the pinout is incorrect, as the SC400 is not specifically listed as one of the supported vehicles. Here's the product:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EUZ8K02/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_7MH6G24QTW2EGZ5X5W6R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EUZ8K02/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_7MH6G24QTW2EGZ5X5W6R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I tried manually pulling the red and yellow wires and directly connecting them to 12V. No dice. Also confirmed good ground on the pin going to black. So 2 questions:

1) Do you think I can get this adapter to work by rewiring it?
2) Do you have suggestions on the rewiring?

I guess a 3rd question is, has anyone seen one of these adapters specifically for the SC400?

Any help would be great appreciated!

Thanks y'all

Thanks LeX2K. I'm pretty sure the 93 SC has different wiring... I may just give up and go with an FM modulator but it would be SO COOL if I could mod this device to work... Need wiring pinout at very least though...
