What about the CD player are you trying to reverse engineer?

[FresnoZ]

Sorry, just mean undoing the wiring for the AM FM radio.

Do you have the faceplate or model number for the Blaupunkt?

I hope to get my kids to sleep soon so I can get my center console removed to see what the wiring looks like

I did a quick google search for the Nevada 168 manual and came up with a lot of hits. If you can't figure it out just by looking at the wiring, it appears that manuals are out there on-line if necessary. There just can't be a whole lot going on:

Constant power
Switched power
Speakers
Antenna control maybe
Faceplate brightness control maybe

That ought to be about it.
