Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

i was being lazy today and had a customer come in for a hu in a 85 bmw 325, his was stolen and all the crazy wiring behind the dash was looking rather birdnestlike (yea i made it one word for emphasis) so i go online to see if the wire diagram is readily availabe and what do i find?


a post on this site by none other than kiki himself, it should save me a buttload of time and a lot of poking around with the mm and checking polarity and all that fun stuff.....thanks kiki

haha
check a couple wires with the meter just to be sure I got em right.

now sell the guy an alarm, too

heck no!! if someone took the time to type it, it must be right.. anything you find on the internet is beyond reproach and correct without any doubt....

ya i would never double check internet info cause i know alot of the 14yo kids that got their new fresh system can tell you every last detailed spec about car audio and they do it by making a website. lol there are alot of stupid websites out there but there are also really good ones im sure that kiki's is correct but sometimes they do a swap in wire color in the same year but usually you wont see that. maybe that guy didnt get his stereo taken maybe he just tried to install it with the wrong tools like a weedeater or egg beater.

naw it was stolen, we had to replace the door glass on it too. we get some head unit work that way. you know sinister you may want to drop some cards with a discount coupon on the back of them at that glass shop across the street from you. maybe something like 10% off for their customers. we see a lot of work from thieves and we get some hu insurance work from it sometimes as well as cash sales.

ya ill have to try that but in this area we dont get much stuff stolen from cars.

just sos ya know......... it was right on the power and ground and acc. and antenna trigger. speaker wire colors didnt match up at all but who knows how consistent they were in production
