Answer:

Nissan Radio Wiring
there is no reason to cut any wiring to install any aftermarket head unit.go to wall mart to the car audio area and give them the yr make and model of your ride and they will sell you the right plug in for your type car.this wires to your new head units wiring harness and plugs into the plugs you took your factory radio out of.they call it plug and play and it comes with a wiring diagram for your type car so follow it. its color coded. if you did cut off the plugs your best bet is to put them back.this part is about 9 dollars.
The best way to find out is with a voltmeter, or a 12V lamp. Connect one end to ground (-), and the other to each wire. With power indicated while the ignition is off, you've fount the memory keep-alive line. With power only while the ignition is on, you've found the accessory line.
