Default Hooking up CD player without harness?

is this possible? someone stole my harness from my old CD player (along with the cd player)... one of my friends just gave me his CD player, but it has no harness along with it - would it be possible to wire it up without having to go out and buy a new one? this is only going to be temporary because I'm gettin a new car in about a month

Not easy man, but I've done it to 4 or 5 radios because dad wanted cheap ones to go in his tractors
If you're handy with a soldering iron you can solder some wires straight onto the pins at the back, if you know which wire goes where then it's not so bad, otherwise you have a few hours with a multimeter and a test light ahead of you

talking about hard wiring a radio? like cutting the plug on the factory harness and wiring the radio harness in? or are we talking about cutting the factory plug and wiring into the radio without a radio harness? cause that's not feasible, but the first one is, it's not too hard, anyone on here can give you honda colors, let me know

that's more than this CD player is worth yes I was talking like from the factory honda wiring right to the CD player, I only have 2 speakers in my car - so it would be ign switch, power, ground, left and right front speakers...

anyone know the wiring colors for honda? My guess would be something like yellow for ignition, red for power, black for ground, unsure of speaker wire colors

manufactuer's chagre $8-10 for shipping and handeling for those parts. if you order a harness from them, it could easily cost you over $30 for the harness. your best bet would be ebay, or asking around.
what kind of radio is it anyways?
