[QUOTE="krusch42, post: 6991073, member: 625914"] So I bought this sweet 99 VW Golf Wolfsburg edition (the mk3 version) a month ago and now I want to install an old stereo I had in my 92 Jetta. The thing is, the connectors aren't the same... So I tried to hook it up and see what happens; turned out pretty good. The stereo worked right away but it wouldn't turn off when I stopped the engine... I read all about "switched" power, "ignition" power but I can't get my head around this one! Besides that small problem, I was just wondering how to add an Aux input to the old radio? Are wiring harness adapters really essential? See images attached to get a better idea... [ATTACH=CONFIG]26520309[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]26520307[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]26520310[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]26520308[/ATTACH] Thanks so much! please forgive my total ignorance of the matter; 1st thread ever! sk.
