Hi,
today I bought an mp3-cd-radio for car in the supermarket. But unfortunatly, my car is a bit to old to work with the standard- connections that cars seem to have these days. It requires 2 connectors with both 2*8 pins on it. Now, when I took out my old radio, there was 1 connector with 2*5 pins on it, (one plastic) but that one wasn't used. The only thing used were
4 wires taped to the wires from the radio. There was (from radio to car) red - blue black - black / black-blue (double wire with one connection) green - white-red gray - white-blueSo, red is contact-power, I got to that. Black must be "mass", and the other two is for the speakers.
When connecting the red and black from my new radio, nothing happens, this is what I find weird, cause normally you should have power, no?
Another thing is: the sheme from the new connectors requires 2 wires for each speaker, but in the old radio there was only 1 per speaker, so I don't have a clue which wire to connect to the speaker minus wire.
And then there is the old connector. That one has wires, I presume for the speakers in the back, which were previously not in use. There's yellow, yellow-red and two other wires.
My Galant is rather old, I think about 12-14 years, and was bought here in Belgium, should this be relevant. Does anyone have an idea on how I could make the new radio to work properly?
thanks in advance,
