[QUOTE="AlterEgo99, post: 5980238, member: 610253"] Egads...OK...slow down hoss! [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif[/IMG] First, I'm assuming the JVC came with a harness that you are then wiring to the harness in your Golf? Or did you pick up an OEM harness kit? Places like Crutchfield have those so you can exactly match wire for wire. Yellow is constant 12VDC...this is used for the HU's memory. This is so when the car is off, all of your audio and other settings in the HU aren't wiped. Trust me, you need it. Red is ignition. This is so the HU will actually turn on when you start the car or place your ignition key into the start or accessory position. Black is ground. Your best friend when troubleshooting is a $20 DMM (Digital Multimeter). Use it to check the wires you think are the correct wires in the Golf. [/QUOTE]
