I have a 92LC, and recently purchased a stock 91 radio for my LC. The pins on the back of radio doesn't match any of my wire plugs I have where the radio should be in the dashboard.
How can I make this work?
 
Was the stock radio/CD/cassette installed in it when you bought it?
If it is aftermarket, did the previous owner splice in a non-OEM plug?
If you have pictures of the radio to be installed and the current open plugs available behind the dash (there should be more than one), that might be helpful.
 
I purchased my 92LC with no stock radio/CD/cassette. I purchased a 91 stock radio/CD/cassette and no oem wire harness came with it.
The 3 oem plugs in the dash are original, no aftermarket work has been done to it, but none of these 3 plugs fit in to the back of the radio. I will make pictures in a minute.
 
I wonder if you received the correct radio or not? It's been a while since I had an FJ80, so I'm not sure if the head unit changed between the FJ80 and FZJ80.

But I wonder if it should look like this one from a '96:

your radio is the same one that I had in my 93 before I upgraded. The largest connector should plug into the back of the radio, while the two smaller connectors are used for aftermarket applications. I am not sure why your stock connector is different than the radio you received. I don't recall if there was a patch harness in between the stock radio and the harness when I pulled it.
 
I just went to autoparts and ordered a oem 91 wire-harness and the picture they had matches the pins on the radio but I am unsure about the latter side. Iwill see when it comes in on 4 may, if it comes to the worse I will strip the latter end and strip the plug that comes close to the plug on harness and connect the wires and wrap electric tape around and done.
This project has been such a mystery. I will provide pictures for those who might have the same struggle as I do now.
