radio install wiring help
83' 944 N/A
i hooked up the speaker wires fine but cant figure out which wires to connect to get power to the radio? PO hacked up the wiring so im kind of confused right now
got this from another forum is everything correct? i dont have an orange wire coming from my new radio
ˇ brown speaker wire with red stripe marked "black – right" goes to gray wire,
ˇ plain brown speaker wire marked "black – right" goes to gray wire with black stripe,
ˇ brown speaker wire with red stripe marked "white – left" goes to white wire,
ˇ plain brown speaker wire marked "white – left" goes to white wire with black stripe,
ˇ small red power wire with fuse marked "permanent 12v" goes to orange wire,
ˇ small whitish power wire marked "antenna power" goes to blue wire,
ˇ large red power wire marked "ignition 12v" goes to yellow wire, and
ˇ large brown power wire marked "ground" goes to black wire.

its clearly been hacked about by the previous owner and none of the wires are likely to be original so a Porsche schematic is unlikely to help.
If you don't have any basic electrical knowledge and multimeter testing skills I would strongly advise you to take it to an Auto Electrician and get them to wire it up for 30-40 bucks or whatever and get a proper job done that won't fry your wiring

red/yellow with the 2.5amp fuse, actually comes from your tachometer power loop.

the red/yellow wire with the fuse in it is the constant and the red/blue is switched!
coming from the harness on the radio is a larger yellow wire and a smaller red wire
along with two purple and two green wires which im assuming are for accessories.

yeah the readings i got confirm your statement the red/blue is indeed the switch wire because its only reading 12v when the ignition switch is on.
