You don't need a wiring diagram, just go to best buy, or any big electrionics store, buy the wiring harness for your car, and the mounting hardware, the wiring harness is simple (green to green, red to red) you get the picture?

That is the best way to do it and afterwards if you want to sell the car you just unplug your cd player and hook the stock one up. Its a snap.

If you have a basic knowledge of auto electrics, it’s easy to work out which wires do what using a test light. It’s also very easy to download the wiring diagrams from www.fc3s.org, which will answer all your questions. There’s no need to hack up the factory harness. Just terminate the head unit’s harness with male spade terminals and plug them straight into the factory plugs. Cakewalk.

Dont forget to bypass the factory speaker amps. Your aftermarket head unit wont work with them. Basically run new speaker wire to each speaker OR hack up the harness that plugs into the speaker amp and run a wire to the speaker. I'd recommend running new wire to the speakers.
