Audio Systems: car stereo color code, car stereo amplifier, toyota corrola


Question
I have factory stereo from 2000 toyota corrola. Mod#86120-04090  ref#cq-Ls7710x Iwould like the color code of the two wire plug at the back of unit. Also can you tell me why this unit has a button marked CD, another marked DISC But does not have a place to insert a CD? I hope with the correct color code I can hook this unit up in the cabin of my boat.      Thanks  Dave

Answer
Don't know about the radio unit, but here is the color code scheme for the car - and maybe you can work backwards to the radio you have:

The radios from 2000 generally had provisions for addition of a changer.  The buttons are for when the cd player is added to the system.
