Anyone around who can help?

Recommended Posts

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

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?
