Blaupunkt Charleston installation help...
I recently received a Charleston head unit and some speakers from a fine Rennlister (billgot). It's in very nice condition...problem is the PO of my '87 944 hacked the poo out of the stock wiring harness. After about an hour of resplicing (I'll probably go back and solder/heat shrink later) I got power to the head unit.
Now my problem is getting sound to speakers...I found the speaker wire (I think...it had also been heavily hacked), but I'm apparently missing the connectors. I think I figured out where it all plugs in into the back of the head unit, so that's not a problem...it's the connectors. Is this a part that Radio Shack or someone like that will carry?
Next question, there are 2 wires coming out of my Charleston. One is for the antenna (that was the only wire not heavily hacked in my car), but the other one is a mystery to me. It sort of looks like a computer or video type cable and I can't find anything in my harness that even remotely will plug into this. What is it? Do I need it? How can I fix it?
Here are some pictures of the wiring harness and the back of the head unit...

What's the trick in removing it? I have the tool for removing a Blaupunkt radio, but the equalizer doesn't have the little holes on the side for pulling it out. Any expert advice would be appreciated.

Wess:
Blaupunkt uses some funky speaker connectors and they are scarce as hen's teeth. You might try here: Midwest Electronics
The second cable is for connecting either a Blaupunkt BEA-80 amp, or a Blaupunkt BQA-80 Amp/EQ.
