Ok, no worries, I couldnt tell it. I will swap them when I do the final install, still have to drill a hole in the face, and modify a spot on the case to install the jack. I will post a pic of it when I get it all done.

I really appreciate your help with this budm. I looked at it for several days. I figured the input would have to go through the orange, and green wires, but had no idea how to hook into it, and where to ground it. I am still learning about this stuff when I have time to sit down and work with it. I have 2 plazma tv's I am looking at now. I may be posting about them as well.

How does it sound any way?
I did the mod for my 1977 TransAm.

Sounds great. Plug in my phone and it switches right to it. Unplug it, and it goes right back to the radio. Sounds just as good, and as loud as the radio. Mine is going in a 85 short wide GMC Sierra Classic.

Glad to see the finished products. I saw lots of info on the web for these old car stereos, some of them are pretty expensive on EBAY.

I searched around the net for several days trying to find out how to hook the aux jack up to this one. Found several other models, but not this one. Even found videos, but the guys were advertising installing a jack for you, not how to do it. I wanted to go back with an original radio in my pickup, or as close as I could, (I think the Sierra Classic's came with cassette radios). I looked on ebay, but as you said, they are pretty pricey. I happened to wonder into a second hand store one day just to look around, and lucked into this one for $5. At the time I had no idea if it would even still work, but for $5, I was willing to take a chance. Glad I did.
