Not seeing the back of the radio pic- I have no idea what the connector on the back of a Reno looks like but you might be able to get a connector and/or a pigtail harness made by Stefan at SWStereo.com, he specializes in moderately old German car stereo.

No idea whether a Rennlist membership allows for larger pictures, or perhaps you just need to host the pictures remotely, like on Photobucket?

http://s1065.photobucket.com/albums/u388/nwmgnt/

my main problem is how to connect the rear radio wiring to the car. i have all the rear radio plugs.....

from what i can tell:

--ground
--constant 12v power
--switched 12v power
--antenna?
--then 4 speakers

my problem is with the wiring in the car currently, i dont know what is ground, constant 12v, switched 12v etc....

the previous owner just left all these wires in that radio hole.....

Looks like the same power connection on my '90 GT, and there there must be 4-channels of onboard amplication (?) that use those 2-pin Blaupunkt connectors you got (?) Or are those preamp outs to an external amp to the right of the passenger seat? (Sorry, never seen a stock factory setup in an '87...)



ASSuming the power harness is the same from '87 to '90, here's the pinout, to an adapter Stefan made for me.
