Fitting a headunit
Discussion
To wrap thi sone up, thought I'd just post what happened.
On closer inspection, the connector in place was from an old Metro (so Rover wiring then!)... funny little wiring block that looked like bullet connectors would fit inside it.
Out came the multimeter... a friend of mine (who used to work at Halfords on the audio section), the Pioneer headunit, 3 tonnes of wires and a dictonary (for potential swearing).
Located the speakers with ease... nicely left in pairs for front and rears...
Found three live wires (?) including one with a brown cover on it! (you'd expect it to be earthed!).
Anyway, with a bit of investigation, we located all the relevant wires, including the one for the elctric aerial, and even managed to wire up the accessory (ACC) position on the ingnition. Nice.
So Pioneer MD installed... bugger getting it in place (I was being a bit anal about knocking wires and stuff), but all seems to work (windows, fogs, dials the lot, oh and the headunit).
Just got to sort out the electric aerial now... and get a working one! - or am I best just getting a static one? - thoughts?
