Heya guys newbie here, I don't suppose anyone can help me with my radio I'm trying to install?

I have a 2007 VW Polo and I'm trying to change the radio from the original to a 2 din one, I got the old one out but I'm having issues with the new one it. Keeps doing the following below..
it comes on won't go off though.....

i am new at this and wish i never started now LOL...

In the Brown box connector i only have 4 wires

pins
#5- empty. #1 - empty
#6 - wire - brown/red #2 - wire - red
#7 - wire- brown/green #3 - wire- red/green
#8 -empty. #4 - empty

black box connector

pins

#10 - wire - orange/black. #14 - empty

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!

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