Hi,

I bought my 964 with a none working radio, so I knew I would have fun trying to get it working again as the gremlins have been messing around in there.
I removed the set and found a real bunch of wires all over the place and not wired to my standards so can I please pester you all again and ask some stupid questions.

I need the colour codeing for all four speakers and the main power cables etc as its not good what the previous owner has done.
I can see the ariel and a black cable loomed together which is the power for the ariel.
Then there is three others coming from a seperate loom,and then the rats nest of speaker cables to sort out.

Thanks for your help in advance Gaz

ps, it will end up on fire if I don't rectify the previous owners D I Y' ING

all I know is the green one is important and needs to be hooked up or the end taped off so it cant ground.

Thanks for that snippet of information,but please someone on here must be a wiring guru,,,
I KNOW HOW TO FIND A PERMANANET AND SWITCHED LIVE,but please give me the function of the wires as I have explained as I want to do a quality job myself and not a botched attempt like the previous owner.

Many thanks in advance Gaz

ps, I have searched and the 964 companion doesn't give that info.

I no longer seem to have the link, but some guy on the PelicanParts forums posted a "decoder" for the radio wires. You may want to try searching over there.

Thanks for that info will search pelican forums,,

I thought loads of people on here would have had radio problems,as most 964's
have changed hands several times and I haven't seen many cars with tape decks in them.

Thanks for any info Gaz

Yes, but much of the time new radios plug straight into the vehicle's wiring harness with a pre-made adapter, and many do not have to worry about wiring unless somebody attempted to wire a radio up by hand in the past, which is what I ran into when putting a radio in my car...and then I found this:

I think that may be what you are looking for.

Hi,

Thanks for that link,its the info I needed as the previous owner had fitted the euro plug as its known ,ie the block that plugs into the loom,but I will remove his crimps and re-solder all the electrical joints and double take his wiring connections as its not neat enough for me.

Thanks everyone for all your help Gaz,
