Stereo/radio wires...?
« on: 07 January 2004, 16:19 »
Sorry if you've had this question a million times b4.

I'm about to wire my stereo into my mk2.  Basically, there are bare wires in the stereo hole, can anyone give me a simple list of which colour does what...?

From there i can solder it straight in..   Thanx..

Blue MK2

There are wires that go to the dash tweeters also. Not sure which ones but they are confusing ::)

Best to re-wire the lot using uprated speaker cable

be careful mate last time i did a head unit i fused the dash lights and head lights because i wired the earth wire on stereo to what i thought was earth wire on care and it turned out to be intermitantly live i.e. switches on when ignition is on  :P
