So I got these really cool speakers and housings in the mail the other day. Morph does a great job! I just ordered a Blauplunkt radio to go with them. Now I need to figure out how to hook it up. I know there are a couple of wired zip-tied under the dash, I'll try to figure out where they go and see if thay once powered a radio. If not, then what? Also, can one hide an antenna somewhere?
Any help on wires, installs, etc would be great. Thanks, David |

The back strap should go from the back of the unit to the front firewall. I had a cd player/radio unit in my other 914 and the faceplate came off for thieft prevention. That sounds like what you have.
As far as a hot and keyed hot, use a test light to see what wire is hot without the key on for the clock/memory and one hot with the key on for off/on. Be sure to connect the wires to the "fused" side of the fuse box. Meaning the side that doesn't get power when the fuse is removed....... |
