About 30 seconds on Google gave me lots of hits. Grasshopper, your google-fu is weak.

First: installdr.com loaded for me when I posted the link; the web hosting service (EHost) appears to be down now. That is nothing I have control over, nor could I know that the hosting service went down between the time I posted and the time you checked the link. A little research would have cleared that right up for you.

Second: you have failed to state *why* the second document is no help to you. List the specific issues you are having--i.e., try to look like you're putting as much effort into this as you expect us to.



Cold shoulder? A three-day wait on a net forum is not a snub, especially over the weekend. That in no way excuses your attitude. If you had come to the site and explained what you had searched for and found (or not), and detailed what you were running into trouble with, that would have gone a long way toward getting some answers. i.e.: "The documents I have found list the harness colour scheme as <blah blah blah> but the colours I found are <yada yada yada>; how do I resolve this?"



Maybe once you've realized that all you have to do to gain that so-called status is post 30 times, and you'll not make silly comparisons like that. You can have whatever deadlines you have, but that doesn't make it any higher on anybody else's priority list.

When you're asking for free help, it's a really bad idea to insult those you're asking.



There is every chance that somebody here knows your topic. Give it a bit of time and don't jump down the collective throat of the forum. Keep looking. Post the problems you are having. My personal experience with wiring badly documented car stereos is limited to Subaru, Dodge, and Nissan (OK, the Nissan had good docs), otherwise I might have helped (except I saw your second post first, which more or less put me off caring).
