The instructions are pitiful. It looks like PAC decided to save money on the plugs by making you figure out how to connect the wires to the 24 pin connector, as opposed to providing a plug-in solution like they did with the first version. Shame, shame...

Anyway, I had to solder wires to the 24 pin connector when I installed my 6 CD Changer. First, you need to remove the connector pin locks from the connector. I then used a mini screwdriver to extract the pins, one at the time, from the connector, then solder the wire to the "crimped" area of the existing pin. You have to be careful here, as too much heat will melt the existing wire, and too much solder will keep the pin from fitting/locking back into the connector. Then push the pin back into the connector until it locks. You might need to bend the locking tang of the pin back into shape before it will lock. Finally, re-assemble the connector pin locks.

Quick connects *might* work instead of soldering, but space behind the stereo when mounted might be an issue. I suppose you could unwrap some of the tape from the wiring to the 24 pin connector, to clamp the quick connector on the factory wire further away from the radio connector.

BTW – Be sure to disconnect the battery before doing any of this.

Good luck - Let us know how it goes...
