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.

Its also likely you won't have an ignition sense wire the factory loom does not have it. So you will need to find a feed in that area to get one from that area of the car. So ancillariy like lecky windows or cig lighter which run on the ignition being on.

Don't take a spur off the 12v permant live to power the ignition sense for the stereo, whilst you will have a radio you can turn on with the ignition off but you will after about 3 days you will have a flat battery.....
