Audio Help II

My 2003 Honda Civic came with a radio/CD player combo, but no tape deck. A tape deck can be purchased separately, and connects to the radio/cd player via a square, plastic connector that uses 9 of the available pins.
I have a perfectly good Matsushita tape deck from a 98 Honda Accord - - - same size. It also connected via a plug-in connector (round) - - - 8 pins and a shield - - - since the newer version has a plastic connector, I believe the 9th connector (on the new unit) is the ground - - - same number of wires - - - now all I need is a wiring diagram.
The deck I have is a Matsushita 08A03-571-130. Wiring diagram for either unit, or even "typical" connections for a 9-wire configuration would be helpful.

PS - - - I read the posts on "Audio help", and I believe Honda has solved all the problems of running multiple devices into the same speaker system with internal, electronic switching. There is a button on the radio/cd set marked "tape player" which does all the switching - - - the only question is what wires go where??
