I'm putting a 84-88 factory Delco radio into a 82 Regal. Both are 12-pin.
- Here is how I understand it in 82 with manual old school tuner...
Group 1 connector = yellow, black, grey (power, ground, dimmer)
Group 2 connector = lt green RF+, dk green RF-, lt brown LF+, gray LF- (front speakers)
Group 3 connector = dk blue RR+, lt blue RR-, brown LR+, yellow LR- (rear speakers)
The yellow power wire would also light up the slideing tuner dial at all times, gray dimmer wire would dim when you turned the headlight knob to dim the dash.
- Here is 84-88, still 12-pin, upgraded to illuminated, digital clock, and memory...
Group 1 connector = yellow, black, grey (power, ground, dimmer)
Group 2 connector = lt green RF+, dk green RF-, lt brown LF+, gray LF- (front speakers)
Group 3 connector = dk blue RR+, lt blue RR-, brown LR+, yellow LR- (rear speakers)
NEW Group 4 external connector = orange, brown (memory, parking lamps)
With the newer style digital radio, GM left the setup alone for the most part and just added an external connector to accommodate the newer radio technology. Everything works the same, only the illumination gets a dedicated feed from the parking lamp circuit (brown) and is able to keep it's memory (orange.)
No?
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
