Funky Diver Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I've trolled the forum and given up in vain.... so apologies if this has been answered in a post already.Some excellent advice on fitting Woofers, balancing speakers, etc... but, mine is a simple problem (or not as the case may be)The standard casssete in my R Reg Arosa has kicked the bucket, and I'm left with no tunez...Managed to get hold of a tasty, but normal, panasonic CD...But, I don't particularly want tot fry it putting it in... now the CD manual says "beware Seat and VW" but give s no specifics...I know I need an aerial adaptro (not an issue) BUT, it's the wiring that I'm not sure of... so, PLEASE a bit of advice to the meek.My Question...Can I just slot the new CD player in, using the ISO connectors in the wiring loom, or will I need to jig about with the loom on the stereo. It has a Red wire with an Acc label on it, and a Yellow wire with Batt. The yellow wire also has a female bullet connector extra (presumably to connect the red acc to permanent live?Help??? :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 ^ this only applies on models with Remote Central locking.If you have to turn the key to get in your car then you'll need to join the reds and yellows together... i.e. 1 join for all 4 wires.

Or do I need to connect both together coming from the stereo and then connect these combined wires to the red coming out of the ISO connector (if the red and yellow wires have been swapped about on the loom...)???And no I don't have any kinda remote / central locking... well, apart from the fingers on mmy left hand, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
