I am attempting to replace a busted Sony CDX-6020 with a new Pioneer DEH-1500 Head Unit in my '90 Cherokee Laredo.
Need help wiring....i have the wiring schematic for the new unit but don't know if i need to change anything on the current wiring. I'm kinda in a hurry....gotta be ready friday morning and any available help will be much appreciated.

change current wireing? first off do you have the stock plug? or cut wires? from there we can help you figure out what you need to do but we need to know that.

There are conversion kits that adapt Stock wiring harness to most Aftermarket HU's. Simple, cheap and easy to use as well. You can get this harness conversion at WalMart, BB, CC or any good car audio shop for under $15.00.
If the old stock harness was cut off and hardwired to the Sony HU, look closely at how the wires are now connected to the Sony HU. Make a list of the harness colors that come from the dash and what colors they mate to in the HU harness. That will be your guide.

the color codes for the two deck should be the same, as well as the mounting. just disconnect one wire at a time and then hook up the same colored wire on the new deck. If the sony is or has been working properly there should be no problems
