I have an older Civic 4WD wagon. A friend gave me a stock Honda
AM/FM/Cassette (mid-'80's?) which would be an upgrade over what's in it now.
Unfortunately, the female plug didn't come with it. Does anyone have a
diagram or link to one, so I can know how to connect the wires?

Thanks,

Unc

If the car is from the '84 - '87 generation I can get you the wiring
diagram for it. Let me know if this is what you need, + a valid e-mail
address.

Whatever you do, do not cut the wires in the car. Many places sell the
plug that goes into the stereo as well as a connector that plugs into
the wire harness in the car. Get one of each and build an adapter. The
"usual suspects" for these connectors / harnesses are:

Is it a Honda radio in there now? If yes, the radios are probably
interchangeable. Most of the radios have the wiring diagram on a sticker
on the radio. bob

Thanks gents. Mine is an '85. The current radio is an after-market brand.
The dental floss inside broke, i.e., it can no longer be tuned. Easier to
replace than repair. When I got the car, the female plug was gone...
nothing but a bunch of leads hanging there. I added rear speakers.

I'll check out the links and go from there.
