MK3 Golf headunit wiring colours....
« on: 05 March 2009, 22:55 »
Hi

the last owner of my car didnt have a clue with headunits, so bodged it with the wiring, i discovered!

anyway, can anyone tell me what colour wire does what? not so important for the speakers.

But the power, memory etc are what I need to know if possible.


Thanks

Jon

Have you tried getting hold of a wiring diagram?

could this be a MOVED thread?

And where to move it? The Audio section?

As an idea, why not find someone breaking one and get them to cut the plug off for the loom and you could then match and join up as required.
