Where to find the right stereo harness?

Post by peter walker »

Hi again guys. I managed to find the instructions on cracking open the console to get the stereo out, but now I've got the problem of getting my new stereo wired in. Does anyone know where is get the right harness to connect a Sony MDX-C7900R unit to my MK2 standard plug?

That one is for the MK1, the one you need will depend on whether your car has an active or passive system. Try here

I got it working! I had ended up having to do some soldering because the harness they sent me was a badly repaired salvaged part. I also had to replace some fuses because the bad repair caused a short. But it's working now!

I did a little hands on video if you're interested in what is like to have minidiscs:
