I did a search and found the radio harness colors for a 96 C220, but evidently the colors are not the same, as they don't match up.
This is what I have in my 95 C220. It is a sweet little car with only 43,000 original miles. I would like to put in an after market cd/receiver but need to know the wire color code. I have already pulled the oem unit from the trunck and the console. Is there a separate amplifier I need to know about?

Socket A: 1. Green/white stripe, 2. Empty,
3. Yellow/black stripe, 4. Red/lue stripe, 5. Blue/white stripe, 6. Gray/blue stripe, 7. Pink/green stripe, 8. Brown.

Socket B: 1. White, 2. Brown/white stripe, 3. Orange, 4. Brown/ornge stripe, 5. Green, 6. Brown/green stripe, 7. Pink, 8. Brown/pink stripe.

Third Socket: 1. Orange, 2. Yellow, 3. Gray, 4. Black, 5. Blue, 6. Brown, 7. White, 8. Empty

Any help with the identification of the wires would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
