Radio/tape Player Headunit Wiring.. With Faceoff 205

[Guest the boyracerrr]

i have been told it is the standard 205 one it has a face off and has a lcd display looks pretty neat for age of the 205's only problem is.. some noob cut all the wires when removing there previous headunit in the car so i have a red block on the end of my head unit.. with all cables going into it... however the only cables i have in the car are the following :

 

thick:

white

green

red I THINK

 

thin:

4 white wired going into 1 black wire

1 green

1 red

 

i think these are all i have plus the orange cable with pin on end which i believe is the arial?!?! anyhow any ideas how to wire this? i will confirm for sure although i think i am correct with these details of the cables but will look again tomorrow morning,

 

please help me also which wires whould there be from back speakers? and what color? as i dont have front ones sad git took them too i have a new set of 13cm coaxils coming asap also was hoping to wire in some which i believe to be roughly 16-17 cm coaxils how will i do this and where shall i wire them too?

 

 

 

 

for more details my head unit red block as the folowing cables some pre labled:

red - 12vt power

black - ground

grey - right speaker?!= is this front or rear or both on right side?

green cable

2 small green wires which seem to go from one pin to another on both

blue white cable

yellow cable

blue cable

yellow cable

 

HELP i really need it im complete simple noob

if its supposed to be a standard pug head unit then i would assume that the wires should correspond...

 

if not then has the head unit got pre-outs (signal wires for amplifier, sorry if i'm over simplifying, you said make it easy!) if there is pre outs then you can make redundant the speaker cables, and simply use a multimeter, on 'dc' setting to find the switched live, which will only be live with key in 'acc' position on ignition barrel. once these 3 are identified then wire an amp in, and power your speakers from that.

 

if no pre outs, you could either trace the wires using the colours of wires at the speaker holes, or rewire the speakers anyway, cos if there is less than 8 speaker wires, and you say they are looped in the connector, then there is probly a shared earth, which isn't ideal imo.

 

iirc the back speaker holes are the same size as the fronts, and if you haven't found them they are on either side in the pillar next to the back of the parcel shelf. and ffs don't cut your shelf to mount the speakers cos 1) they are getting rare without holes and 2) the pikeys will have them in a flash!

 

hope this helps. if your still stuck i could slide my head unit out and check the connections, but i just got up and can't really be arsed!

Speakers

WHITE/WHITE BLACK - FRONT LEFT SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

 

GREY/GREY BLACK - FRONT RIGHT SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

 

GREEN/GREEN BLACK - REAR LEFT SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

 

PURPLE/PURPLE BLACK - REAR RIGHT SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

 

^^^all thin and should all go into 1plug (for speakers)

 

THICK ------------------------ THIN

green/yellow= ground which will go to black cable on headunit

off white = negative(i think) - yellow on heat unit

blue = positive - red

 

With mine the Thick wires were mated to the thin ones.

 

All the other wires from the HU are not pluged to anything. (orange, brown ........)

 

Will take a pic of the bodge job tomorrow if you like?

You can identify three of the wires with a volt meter, ground, permanent 12v and 12v when the ignition is on. (just by seeing which is live when the ignition is off and then which becomes live when the electrics are on.

A guy I know who knows a lot about peugeot clarion stereos said that sometimes the wire colours dont make any sense, although i dont think he was talking about speaker wires he was talking about other ones.

Does the connector to the radio look like this??

 

(Dont take the P*ss of my connectors)

Not that related but why do people insist on hacking the car wiring?

[Eryl1.9Gti 0]

Hey i said no diggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wasnt me that did it, car came as seen.

That and the fact that scumbag t*ats fooked the wiring when they "cautiously removed the stereo"

Wasn't a dig, just everytime I take an old tape player out to pop in a CD it turns into a major job the repair the mess the last bodger left! Particularly when there is no need as the bits are easily available from Halfrauds to do the job without hacking (assuming it was intact when the job was started).

fair comment about major repair work.

 

however, i bear in mind that when the 205 was in its prime, every tom d*ck and harry wanted a kenwood/pioneer clip-off front stereo, and how expensive were these 10 year ago?

 

so i would expect the wiring on the back of most head units to be pretty well mangled by now as the generations of cack handed chavs tried to save on fitting costs by letting a 'mate' do the fitting!

 

i found myself with a spare iso block so i took the butchered wiring and soldered/heat-shrinked the iso on so if i want to reclaim my h.u. on selling up, the next lucky owner need only plug and play.

 

i recommend everyone do the same and the world would be a better place!
