There is a section on it in my 1994 service manual. If there are any on line, I suggest checking them out.
There are three separate plugs to install the MSSS, at least in my '94.
One goes to the radio.
The other two go to the smaller unit under the radio - basically an amplifier, I think.
One plug is for the speakers.
The other one controls Mute/Mode, and turns on the ALC & Body Sonic System (seat thumpers - great to get rid of kidney stones
I have not used my MSSS in over 5 years, so I am writing from memory.

Awesome Tim Allen posted half of it. HERE
Did your Miata come with that radio? If you don't have tweeters and "bass thumpers" factory installed in your car, you'll have to do a slight modification to the wiring.
Easy task, just splice a 12volt source, one for the button lights, the other to power on the speakers.

I have an original service manual from Pioneer for the MSSS1.
I have scanned and posted about 18 pages out of 56 of it so far.
I'm going to have to scan the larger fold-out pages at Kinko's or someplace like it that can handle large pages.

If you are handy at electronics and can figure out how to repair these things, send me a PM ASAP!!
I have 3 or 4 extra MSSS1 radios that all need the CD player portion fixed. When you insert a CD, it spits it back out.
I am also looking for a way to wire an AUX input for an iPod directly into the unit.

I had the problem with CDs and tapes being spat out problem on mine, luckily I have a friend who works in a electronics repair shop
He took it, took it apart, fitted a new belt, cleaned the laser, and otherwise generally cleaned it and now it works
The only downside is that it doesn't accept my ipod->tape adapter still, but at least I don't have to listen to the radio now.
The Aux input would be something I'm sure a load on MSSS owners would be interested in Tim
I'll ask and see if my friend has any thoughts.

Very cool!
So cleaning the CD laser eye should help, huh?
I'll have to try that.
Yeah, a LOT of us would be interested in the AUX input for the iPod!
Let your friend know about the service manual scans if he doesn't have them. There are a lot of good schematics in there.

FYI I'm selling one of these radios on ebay, the current bid is $50 and I doubt if it will go higher...

If you are local we can meet in one of the CR meetings and you can avoid shipping.
Cheers

Quite possibly. There was someone her interested in buying it, but I haven't gotten a response from him after several attempts.
I even have the rare face cover!

You know...I had almost forgotten about doing that until I saw this post replied to.
I hope to get that done after Thanksgiving sometime. I just need to get to a Kinko's, but the nearest one is about 30 miles from home or work.

Not sure about the charges at Kinko's. I just have to get by one of their shops and do it!
I second this... I barely have any sound out of the left side
