I'm not familiar with the Frankfurt, so I don't know exactly what kinds of connections it needs. However, some common ones and where to find them in your 914:
- Unswitched power can be found on the fuse panel. There are frequently one or more unused lugs on the fuse panel which carry power all the time. A check with a voltmeter will tell you which ones, or you can check your year's wiring diagrams (in Haynes on on Pelican) to find wires that come straight from the battery. - Switched power can also be found on the fuse panel. I believe that fuse #8 or #9 carries it; double-check the wiring diagram to be sure. - Ground can be run to any convenient fastener into the body. Or you can tie in to the ground point up under the dash. - Speaker wires may be present already, or may have to be run by you. - Power antenna/power amp wire would be taped up so it doesn't short to ground, unless you have one of those two things you need to power. You can use a standard crimp-on 1/4" female spade lug connector to hook into the blades on the fuse panel. Make sure you put shrink-tubing on the connector after you crimp it on; you don't want it shorting to anything nearby. --DD |
