Aldo, we’re glad we could help you with your car stereo wiring diagram needs.
hello, my name is aldo, i own an 02 vw golf gti, i am adding a secondary amplifier for the monsoon, im pulling the sound from the rear speakers plug from the amp. i located the two rear speakers wires, but i can not find the remote, which i think is called the radio accesory switched 12 v. does anybody knows the color of the wire? ill be glad if someone tell me. so i can conclude my installation. thanks
Aldo, use the black/red wire off the ignition switch harness in the steering column of your 2002 Volkswagen GTI. This is a switched 12 volt power source. Hope this helps. Good luck.
I have a 1991 golf 2 country and i cannot find any switched 12 volt feed for the radio which i can only use with the ignition switched on is there any other feed i can use eg from the ignition switch harness, in the fuse box i dont find any 12 volt switched feed, i know some of the golf cars have the switched feed on the ignition when you remove the key then the radio switches off, hope someone can help me in this matter thanks Mike
Mike, use the black/yellow wire off the ignition switch harness in the steering column of your 1991 Volkswagen Golf. This is a switched accessory 12+ volt power source. Hope this helps. Good luck with your radio install.
