Replacing your 968's Radio

I don't know about you, but the first thing I wanted to do when I got my new 968 was to replace that crappy CR-1 radio/cassette. If you've ever replaced a car stereo before then you should have no problems. The 968 stereo is a tight fit however and tends to get quite hot which affects my units ability to play CD-R's. Anyway if you want to tackle this job yourself, I've got copies of the 968 radio wiring diagram. The diagram is in three parts, Left Centre and Right all zipped up (in GIF format) in this file (1.2MB). One point you might like to note is that the wiring diagram shows a security connection. This was not connected on my car so didn't cause me any problems, however if it is connected in your car, I was told you simply need to ground the wire. I couldn't verify this so if your alarm goes off after installing your new radio, then you may have to un-ground that wire.
