The wiring diagram is on the sticker on the top of the stereo isnt it ? looks like it in the picture, if yours is the same.

It's missing on mine Darren

Looking very carefully at the wiring diagram pointed out by Darren, on top of the stereo in the photo. The right hand larger spade connector (nearest the edge) is the earth or battery negative connection. The left hand larger spade connector (one in from edge) is the battery positive connection.

Get some female spade connectors, preferably fully insulated, on the end of some bits of wire, push on the 2 connectors and dab the other ends on a battery. Don't need to tell you which way round do I?

Might be easier for me to make it out in the photo, as I know what I'm looking for

.

And Mickys most likely right, the little spades should be aerial output and maybe illumination dimming input.

John, did you manage to get this tested off the car. I am almost in the same situation except I have the metal bracket for mine with the wires coming out the back, but the ones in the car are differnet. Just trying to ascertain if mine works first. Does anyone here do this as I am bound to **** it up.

I sent it to have it professionally refurbed and it was completely striped and rebuilt , there was a lot of issues with it and its now as good as new

Timbo · 29-10-12, 03:32 PM

Wow, is that a major cost or not too bad, hopefully I wont have to go that route. Is there a specialist company or local audio shop. I have spoken to a couple but they wont touch mine due to age.

john johnson · 29-10-12, 06:03 PM

It's a specialist was about £170 but he has the spares to replace stuff that packs up on them , I was quite impressed with the sound quality on mine for its age

who is your specialist, sausagemeister? i've had my toronto in twice to get a HIDEOUS shrieking noise dealt with -it comes through the speakers the second you power it up and move the volume knob - it's like jimmy hendrix scraping his TEETH off of a blackboard!!!
