Stereos - Slightly OT?

Oct 27, 2003 5 Replies

Hi all, yes I know this post is a bit off topic - BUT - I realise how knowledgeable you all are on her, and 'HOPE' someone may be able to help - or point me in the right direction, so here goes: I have a friend who works for me who has just bought a 1998 Vauxhall Vectra (yuk - told him to buy my old V8110), and he needs to know how to locate the wire on the back of the factory fit radio/cassette unit that is used for the 'telephone mute' function. Radio fitted is a 400/4664 unit - with another number on it (GM400V1638220). Can anyone assist, please?



Regards, Dave


Best bet is to remove the radio, discard the Vectra and put the radio in a real car! If it's a classic LR he certainly won't need the mute function, as he won't be able to hear the stereo anyway over the noise.

;-) that was my original thought!! He has now decided he wants to put a CD head unit in it instead of original unit - not sure how he will do that though as it has the remote display! (I will work on him to buy my tatty old V8 110!) Not sure he would be too impressed with the fuel consumption though ;o) Dave

David French waffled on in a quite bewildering manner to produce...

Might be a tad awkward wiring up the radio display though, although a 110 with a Vectra dash would be... different.

Method 1 Look on the back for a yellow lead and hope you get the right one - applying 12 v mutes the radio

Method 2 Go and ask your local friendly Vauxhall service Department. They're usually pretty helpful.
