Just want an 430 wire harness for radio, Impossible to find??

Try ebay Becker or blaupunkt harness or adaptor.

 

I might have one in the garage here if you want to post or send me a pic of the one you are looking for.

Go to best buy and ask for a 2004 VW Jetta radio harness, they're the same. It's a European standard.

You can get it at best buy or almost any stereo shop

 

Could it be that the small yellow and blue plugs were for the speakers?

 

The guys at Lajolla Audio are the ones who informed me of what harness to buy

 

Can someone confirm this? What about the green and blue plugs that plug into the Becker radio? The VW adapter doesn't have a space for these. Are these not needed when installing an aftermarket unit? I have the hifi (non-bose) system.

 

Which Becker Radio was installed before? If it was the Cascade Pro 7941 this might help.

Yellow plug is preamp output to the Bose or hifi system, blue plug is to trunk cd changer if equipped.. If recall correctly. If you have hifi, yellow may be needed for it to work...

 

Are you related to Kimi Raikkonen?



(Sorry, couldn't resist)

 

I think I figured it out. The yellow plug (C1) is not used in my setup since I have the Hifi, but not Bose. I also unplugged C2 and C3 to my stock radio and everything still worked including the factory sub behind the seats. In other words, the junky little amp that resides under the radio uses speaker level inputs.

 

Just another tip for anyone installing a radio yourself. You need to switch the 12V ignition on lead and the 12V contant on leads when using the VW harness. Just switch the yellow and red wires.

 

Did you ever figure out what caused you to have no sound? I'm running into the same issue

 

Update. I figured out that I needed to add the blue/white wire to the metro harness. It's used to turn on the factory amp.

 

Discount car stereo has Becker wiring harnesses. These should allow you to use the ferrari plugs and then splice into the new radio head unit wiring harness that will come packaged with your new radio.
