Default Stereo in the 85 5000s I bought was missing. Just ordered a CD/mp3 headunit... (inside)

Anyone able to post a wiring diagram or tell me which wires are which in the dash?

There's no wiring harness, just an assortment of loose wires. Looks like some browns, 4 green (I assume these are the front speakers?) blue?

If anyone could explain which wires are which it would be very helpful,

Thanks.

Default radio wiring from my '86 5K, maybe same as yours???

yellow - memory back-up
blue/white - power antenna
red - main power lead
black - ground

speakers:

white - LF +
black - LF -

green - LR +
black - LR -

gray - RF +
purple - RR +

been a while since I put my radio in, so my memory is faded, so I am going from notes. My notes aren't the best about the negative wiring on right side front and rear, but I think that RF - is gray/black, RR - is purple/black.

No guarantees, but I hope this helps. Regards, Rooster

I'm pretty sure Audi's ground wires are brown.

yea, possible, there are many brown wires for ground on the Audi, but for the radio, I think black was for ground. Rooster

Default More Radio Wiring Questions

Does anyone know what color the Vehicle Speed Sensor Wire is in a 1989 100?

AND does anyone know what color the Backup signal is?

I'm putting in a Radio Navigation GPS system and need to identify those wires.

THANK YOU very much
