You want to wire in a Tape deck from a grand prix? No! really? Why? Buy a new radio. You would need the wiring diagram from that stock radio out of the grand prix, and the wire diagram from the 190e and then it would still be trial and error. I dont even think the power will turn on. Im pretty sure the antenna wont fit. I see failure coming. I don't think its even possible without adapters and other things. Plus, with such an old car, its almost worth it to have bestbuy or CC install it because of the nation wide life time warranty and if they brake something doing the install they fix it.

Sorry about the other message, I just wasnt reading it right I guess. So you have an aftermarket radio. You need to wire into the MB? I dont have the wire diagram. Are the wires cut from the MB? If not, you might be able to get a Smart Harness from circiut city. That will plug right into the car and it will tell you what wire is for what speaker (~$15)

do you have 6 speakers? I think the 6 speaker system has the amp and the 4 speaker system does not. Im not 100% . I have the 6 speaker system and when I replaced my speakers my front dash had factory wires and my rear dash had aftermarket wires, My door speakers I cant seem to get to so I idnt replace those.

There is also a car audio section on the forum, check with them too.
