 1987 Toyota Camry CSX (SV21) Audio Wiring HELP!!

My car was recently broken into and my stereo was stolen. Instead of the buggers unclipping the plug to my CD player they decided to cut the whole bunch of cables.
So now I'm trying to install the standard tape deck but I don't know which wire is which.
Can anyone tell me what colour wire is what and which wires to connect from the tape deck to the car?
Cheers
Maybe a scan of the wiring diagram would be great.
Thanks guys

This is standard procedure of theives. If they unclip the loomy thing from the back of the deck they will need to buy a new one from the manufactuer.... some of which won't supply without proof of purchase.
If they snip the wires they can be spliced into the next cars system.
Your original deck should have its own loom. All you have to do is test the wires left in the whole in your dash to see which speaker is connected to which wire. The power cables should be standard colours.
To do this rig up a D cell battery so that you can hook speaker wire up to the positive and negative terminals and test pairs of speaker wires till you hear a speaker pop and then label those wires. Leave the labels on so when you get a decent head unit you don't have to do it again.

Thanks for that.
So once I've labled the speaker wires, how do I determine what wires give the power, accessories, earth..etc..??
And also, if I want to rig it up to a standard Toyota (philips) tape deck, how do I determine what wire is what on the tape deck?
I actually started to work out the wires from the car, but the tape deck is hard, cause I only have about 10 wires from the tape deck, but 12 to choose from in the car?

its normal for most factory stereo looms to have more wires than the actual head unit takes (this allows for more advanced factory units to be used).
ok, from the top of my head the colours are this
Perm power (12V+ from batt) = Blue/yellow
Acces = ?? can't remember... use a test light or multimter
Earth = White/Black (as it is anywhere on the car)
Illumination = Green (also double check with test light/mulitmeter)
speakers will be in pairs, + with solid colour and the matching negative haveing a black stripe, eg white + white/black
can't remember exactly what the fronts are, but the colours as white and grey from memory.
rear right = purple + purple/black
rear left = green + green/black
hope this helps mate.

Thanks everyone for your help. I found a couple of other sites that were very useful. I printed off some pdfs and some of your advice and I managed to hook it up last night.
It scared the crap out of me though, cause when I was stripping some plastic off the wires, they would sometimes touch the other exposed wires and cause the whole dash to light up and the electronic aerial to pop up. But all is cool.
