Hey everyone, So this is gonna be a long one i want to try and make this detailed so you guy know where i am at. But the general info is i bought a new stereo from a cool guy and i am trying to but it in my car but i am having some major difficulties but i firmly believe if we all work as a team i might be able to have a functional stereo in my car so with that said lets get started :-D.
These are the wires from my car (1989 325i no amp as far as i know)
-So what we are looking at here is the wires coming from the car i loosely labeled them by the labels that were on the stock stereo. where it has the Left and right tabs those are the stereos notice only 4 wires 0_o. Now i read somewhere you only connect the positives so if thats the case then it makes sense because i followed the wires from my speakers and indeed the ones on the right are blue and left are yellow. but because the wires coming from the speakers change pattern behind the stereo i have no idea which is positive and negative if you need more detail on that just ask. Also notice from the wires labeled battery their are two wires but on the new stereo there is only one so where does the second wire go?? This situation also seems to be present on the wire labeled "Ignition Ground"
By the way don't ask me how it was like 102 in my car and 100 outside and i cut my antenna wire but thats the least of my problems :-p.
Just to give you guys a feel for whats up with the new stereo wires it looks like this
red is ignition switch
black is ground
white,green,gray,violet are speaker wires striped are negatives
fatty yellow is the battery constant
so i am going to stop here if you need anymore information i have plenty of pictures and i will try my best to help you help me thanks in advanced everyone.
