RE: radio installation
I usually make them by nabbing plugs from the junk yard. It isnt that awful hard, if you have a digital volt ohm meter you can figure it all out, If ya tap the speaker itll actually produce voltage and then ya know that those 2 wires are for that speaker. Door panels arent that hard to take off either, but easiest cheapest way is just ta go to the junk yard and clip some plugs off and wire it up.

RE: radio installation
the gray connector:
brown/red = left door speaker (-)
dark blue/red = right door speaker (-)
black/yellow = park lamp switch output (turns the radio lights on when parking lights or headlights are on)
orange = fused panel lamps dimmer switch signal (dims your radio lights when you dim your gauge lights)
red/white = fused ignition switch output (accessory/run key position - this is the power for the radio)
pink = fused B (+) (radio memory - this is "live" at all times the battery is connected)
black connector:
dark green/red = 12 volt output (premium radio)
brown/yellow = left rear speaker (+)
dark blue/white = right rear speaker (+)
dark green = left door speaker (+)
violet = right door speaker (+)
brown/light blue = left rear speaker (-)
dark blue/orange = right rear speaker (-)
ground for the radio is provided via a grounding strap on the actual radio.
