Originally posted by CB-M3 View PostYou were right again. Unraveled it and I could see the twisted pairs and make the proper connections. I think I'm good in the trunk except 3 wires. The 12V, 12V switch, and Main Ground. Do I need these? Just let them be?

Good to hear you got it up and running!

Have the same situation. Any response to this. Thanks.Originally posted by SpykeI guess I need some help... I seem to have some cross breed e30.
Here's what I got:
1987 325e (10-1986 build date)
-NO tweeters
-Fader switch in the dash
-NO amp in the trunk
-Fader wires DO NOT change colors, there are NO additional wires in the bundle. I followed them all the way behind the speedo to make sure. There's only the 4 striped and 2 solid wires going to the fader switch.
Photos of my head unit, fader switch and wiring to the head unit:
