Radio stolen, wires cut..need advice
Car was brokenly into and all wires were cut pretty short including antenna wire..what's the best way to go about fixing this? I would appreciate any wire harness links that I might need and a wiring diagram for an 2002. Help please. I will upload a pic later since I can't do so from my phone thanks

Look up the12volt.com and make sure you have a voltmeter. If you want to do it right, you'll want to find a reverse (OEM) harness (which means you'll have to buy 2 harnesses total) to be wired back in. It'll make life easier if you ever decide to replace that radio again.

Here's an appropriate reverse harness: Metra 71-1721 - it will likely be missing the two
s2000-specific wires (dash switch and mute), but if you are going with an aftermarket
headunit anyway, you can hardwire those two straight to a DCI if you're going to use one.
Alternatively, it's possible to move unused wires/pins (such as the ones for rear speakers)
within the connector to the correct locations for the mute and dash wires.
Macgyver's site has a chart with the wire colors.
The antenna wire is a little trickier as it is coax and you'll need to make sure the shielding
is connected as well as the signal wire. To figure out the best way to do this I would guess
Google is your friend.
