    I can't say for certain, but I'm 99.9% sure you will find the connections for a radio in the dash wiring harness. Never had a Festiva without a radio myself.
    You should also have wire present for the two dash speakers and the two rear speakers.

      I pulled a factory radio block off plate out of the junk yard a few years ago and the plugs were connected to the back of the plate. So you should also have them. If you install an aftermarket radio get a harness so you don't have to cut up the factory harness.

            My '89 came with a radio and antenna. I would guess yours does not have the antenna or the antenna cable? The antenna on mine is in the driver's door post.

            Correction: My car came without a radio but with the antenna and cable. It's my memory which is faulty. I bought a cheap radio and installed it. Before I put in the radio there was a moulded plastic recess in the dash where you could put stuff - sunglasses, cigarettes, whatever. I still have the moulded plastic recess. I tend not to toss things out.
