Thank Max I have the speaker wires set up already. I am going to sit in the car with the meter for a while and chase things. I am pretty sure I know which will be constant power and what wants to be ground. Black and illuminated are goofy. Maybe I tap into the ash tray light wire for illumi

Pin 3 - grey with violet stripe, illumination power when running or headlights are on. Pin 4 - red with white stripe, power hot at all tim

do a google search for images of your particular stereo. I found exact matches for my Becker Grand Prix which show me where the power, ground, speaker, antenna control, mute for Cell Phone, and speaker front/real vol control wires attach, etc. If you have a Becker BE-1432 I'll be happy to se

You only need to hook up the 4 pin connector to make the radio work: 12v constant, 12v switched, lights, ground. Start there and make sure it turns on. Antenna trigger is the single wire. Any car with the electronic radio 81-93 will have the same harness for power If there is an additional con

My Becker 754 came this weekend and I rebuilt the wire harness to connect to the wires in the dash. The PnP parts had wires just a bit too short when the dude butchered them to get his aftermarket radio installed and left the hook ups … Anyway, I made it better. When I went to install, the wir
