I guess I missed this yesterday. Take a good picture of your harness and I can walk ya through it. No one makes a harness for the older ones. I dont recall them making one for the three series until 92. My ex-boss had an 86-87 and we couldnt find one for his.

You can get some t-taps and tap into every wire and still retain the stock plug, it just eats up some room behind the radio. They look like and hook up like this:
