Wayne2015 10 Posted May 4, 2015 Another excellent write-up from our friends across the Atlantic again :thumbleft: http://www.corrado-club.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9452 Might give it a go! :D DONE! Before After Complete aerial from VeeDubMachine £15+pp (Short aerial alone optional) OLD aerial (not sure OEM? :shrug: ) Is shorter than NEW aerial Slightly different shape And base SQUARE connection is 1mm bigger than NEW aerial OLD 15mm NEW 14mm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Duct tape Cable ties And LOTS and LOTS of sealant under base of aerial! :lol: I am leaving OLD aerial cable behind as a: 1. Backup 2. If future want to re-instate (as got in-line amplifier - NEW aerial no amplifier) NEW cable follows OLD cable route ... NEW plug on left (no amplifier) OLD plug on right with in-line amplifier (and WHITE cable to amplifier is POWER cable - i assume) All works fine :thumbleft: :dance: :lol: Edited May 4, 2015 by Wayne2015 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 4, 2015 The red dot items are the plugs for the rear abs sensors and I'd hazard a guess that the brown wire is for the alarm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne2015 10 Posted May 4, 2015 Behind front passenger *** not sure where that THIN red wire going back to stereo via handbrake console is for??? *** Three thick red cables disappears under front passenger floormat Thru to engine :eek: NOW Could it be the RED cables Sanky took off a while back and therefore SAFE for me to remove???

Sean_Jaymo 0 Posted May 4, 2015 If it were the alarm wire, I'd say it's going to the boot light. Aftermarket alarms normally use an internal light as a trigger that a door is open. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZpog 10 Posted May 5, 2015 Noticed you've removed the "Caliber" crossovers - I hope these weren't in use with your front speakers setup as without them you could fry your tweeters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MZpog 10 Posted May 5, 2015 BEFORE AFTER *** just one BLUE/WHITE wire unsure *** Blue/white is for the speed sensing radio that would up the volume when going faster. Connecting this to anything is likely to stop your spoiler working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that WHITE twin wire (from stereo IGNITION to behind dash to fuse box) Also same WHITE twin wire attached to RED thin wire to rear seats THICK RED cables for rear speakers...
