coupe GT/new stereo

slacky · 06-05-10, 01:19 PM

right before you all go off on one

, i know most people are against having new stereo's in their classic's ,so am i to a degree, i would really prefer to switch units depending on the circumstances in an ideal world...
However, i was wondering if anybody could help me to identify the wire's which are coming out of my GT dash , so i can match them up accordingly , (not very electrically minded)

.
the group of wire's on the left are for the speakers,it's the one's on the right i have no idea what is what??
many thanks in advance........

From memory here so dont take it as gospel.....

Green/black and green/brown are front dash pod speakers.
Brown/blue and brown/red are rear speakers...i think?

brown wires on the white plug are ground.
Of the others youll have a 12volt permanent feed, a 12 volt accessory feed and a wire for the power aerial...all from memory so probably totally wrong...

Consult the Manuel is my best advice!

Will dig out my drawings tonight and see if anything ties up with what you have there. Not rocket science and likely just a multimeter will sort out one from the other. Am here Saturday if no success before then...

That looks like mine,loads of wires and no radio.

(looks like someones,robbed it.)
Would the coupe wiring,be the same for mine?

Hope so,I,ve got a Blaupunkt mp3 sitting in it,s box.

Hi all, I've got an Audi GT (1984) I'm a little bit confused as I can only find 4 speaker wires, so how do I wire those into a modern stereo (the one I have has positive and negative wires for each speaker channel) ?

More info needed, do you have the speaker fader control below the steering wheel on left hand side. Does the car have the standard 4 speakers fitted....

I havent seen a fader control but I'll check - but my wires do seem the same as the picture orginally posted at the begining of the thread.
I've been doing a bit of reading up and I'm wondering if the reason there are only 4 speaker wires is because they are all common earthed, if thats the case according to my new stereo install guide I'm going to have to run new wires through the car as it says not to common earth them - bugger!
