German vehicles are excess of rated, even those that are unquestionably made in Germany. anticipate to be fixing that stuff and waiting for areas as much as you're employing it. i locate it hilarious which you does not own a GM with the aid of fact the government held a number of their inventory, whilst a extensive part of Volkswagen group and it fairly is confirm retaining employer are owned via the German government of Saxony and the Emirate of Qatar. consistent with threat you're able to do a splash extra learn. Ridiculous.
You should have 2 DIN plugs (male type) unless someone has chopped them off. If you can locate them in the hole where the original stereo was fitted then pull them into view. One will be a mid brown and the other black. A visit to Halfords store/E bay or similar will enable you to get a converting lead which converts the DIN plugs to your Pioneer unit which will dispense with the need to change or re wire your car. Provided they are both still there, the black one for speakers and the brown for live cables earth etc. Then the only other possible problem you have is that the permanent live cable and the switched live cable may need to be reversed for your Pioneer unit. What happens is that your Pioneer needs a permanent live to store and keep your radio stations and to remember which track your CD was last on. If it does not work first time you need to cut the red and yellow cables and join red/yellow and yellow/red. I suggest you do this on your bought harness.
