Skunklook

Looking sweet Jay... fancy coming down and helping me figure out this loom.... hopefully be pretty easy to do! ;-?

Jay, love the focus shot of the gear knob and the handbrake handle... defo my fave!

IMO; Keep it as near to standard as possible (engine bay metalwork that is) just smoothing out the weld marks and minor indents/imperfections, that way it'll look smoother than normal and tidy too but won't take forever. and why bother welding up the holes you are not using? not something you need to spend ages on hey?! Just get nice factory grommets in there and be done with it. MOVE ON TO THE BITS THAT IT NEEDS! (Just a thought) :roll: :wink:

Cheers 'purple prince' (just made that up lol) I will do!... but I've got this now: Purple - rear right + Purple/Black - rear right - Grey - F right + Grey/Black - F Right - White - F Left + Wite/Black - F left - Green - Rear Left + Green/Black - Rear Left - Yellow - To permanant live (battery) Red - To Ignition sw Blue/White - Switching (amp, elec arial etc) Black - Earth Brown - Telephone mute FULL SCHEMATICS: http://www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/3701/Kenwood_KDC-5080%20R.html

Cheers Gibber that narrows things down lots! I now just need to know what the "EXT. CONT" / Solid Brown / Orange with white rings are?! Oh and does the black lead out of the stereo go to a negative or earth wire on the car's loom?

Morning fellow dubbers, Today I'll be mostly trying fit a Kenwood KDC-5080R CD Head Unit in to my mk2 golf GTI (1989)... however I don't have a clue what each of the cables is for out the back of the unit! Can anyone confirm the exact details of what each colour is/does (I know the basics but I want to get it right first time) Speaker cables (I guess, but which ones?) Purple Purple with black stripes/rings around grey grey with black stripes/rings around white white with black stripes/rings around green green with black stripes/rings around The following also go to a connector block: Solid Red (with male/female connectors before the main connector block) Solid Yellow (with male/female connectors before the main connector block) Solid black Orange with white stripes/rings around 2 x Blue with white stripes around (I'm guessing to 'remote' power the two auxiliary amps/other as there are two sets of RCA connections?) The following do not go to the main connector block: Black with pink stripes/rings round (labelled "EXT. CONT") Solid Brown Any help would be really appreciated as I am off to do it very soon and I can't find a list/diagram on the net! Cheers... and happy new year Nick

Some people really have no idea! Those who know... KNOW! (New catchphrase:? It's not how you make it standard, ... it's how it came!)

Must stop looking at threads like this mate! makes me want a C now ... mind you I want a Lupo after seeing the one in PVW, oh and a Passat after seeing g-man's one.... oh and then there's the old mk1 fetish! DOH! Note to self: Must win lottery!

Don't look too bad I suppose?! ;-) Well done mate, big up the coupehaus masseeeev!

Nice job Jay, looks cool!

Anyway Jay, what was wrong with this one? 8) :lol:

Pwaahaaaahaaa! you big g4y bear! :lol: :lol: :lol: right I'm off to find a pic of me. :?

Personally I think you should've stuck with the mk2.... you knows it makes sense! LOL 'spose it looks OK...I guess. Big respect (again) to you dude! mmmMMMmmmmm cream! :wink: Sssshhhhhhhhush!
