Re: Radio installation Help??
Oh no, you've made a bit of a mess there!!
You need a quad lock to ISO adapter loom - what you've done splitting the plugs won't help you at all
https://www.halfords.com/technology/car ... 81915.html
This will sort your issues out, but you'll need a new quad lock housing first which is probably 3B7035444 from the dealer - you should have it on the black plastic housing you have broken up
You'll also need a wiring tool to release and move the wires between the old and new housing like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Laser-3932-Ter ... ive&sr=1-8

LOL hey, i know mind you that plastic casing it had was already broken i think somoene else tried to do it then gave up :p
I have managed to get the radio to come on and go off with the ignition switch after having to re route the wire it to the cig lighter ignition, now i just trying to sort out the speakers as i'm getting no sound from them even with a ISO harness hmm

Ouch!
6 - wire - brown/red #2 - wire - red
#7 - wire- brown/green #3 - wire- red/green
On the above the brown/ wire is the negative speaker terminal
If you have no sound after wiring 6/2 to one side and 7/3 to the other, you may want to look to see if someone has kindly played with the door speakers for you!

Re: Radio installation Help??
Does seem like it’s been played with. My caddy I bought recently had both speakers unplugged in the doors....no idea why!
