Dear Volks, I recently acquired a VW Heidelberg radio but didn't get the plug with the wires for the back. I want to put it in my new to me '86 Vanagon Weekender. I plan to wire each terminal one at a time since I don't have a plug. There is a label on the radio, but I'm not sure of what most of the pin outs are for. Would someone who has one please look at your radio and give me a little help. The diagram shows: Top row, top plug, left to right (looking at the back of the radio): Pin 1 - scratched, can't read Pin 2 - symbol of speaker with a plus sign Pin 3 - looks like a Y superimposed on an I Pin 4 - + sign - must be the positive connection - is this one always on or switched? Bottom row, left to right: Pin 1 - scratched, can't read Pin 2 - letter S Pin 3 - looks like a sun or light symbol - circle with rays coming out of it Pin 4 - minus sign inside a circle Guess all I really need are the negative, switched positive and always on positive. The speaker terminals are labeled. I would like to do it right and need to know what all are for. Thanks, David Hunt '86 Vanagon Weekender '75 Westy '74 Thing '80 MGB (for sale) |
