Question
My girlfriend has a 2003 VW GLS with the Monsoon Stereo, a year ago it crapped out and she had replaced with a Panasonic CQ-C1404u deck. They were completely unprofessional having to use a hammer to smash out the Monsoon deck since they failed to acquire the correct keys to easily slide it out. Needless to say they installed the new unit without a harness kit and subsquently made a mess of the wires. The new deck never turns off unless you remove the face and the right rear speaker does not work. I removed the new deck and am overwhelmed with wiring. The original VW harness is absent and there and I don't know how to include the factory Monsoon amp with the new deck. The speakers wires appear to be right but there are an additional 4 red wires possibly for the Monsoon amp. Any help with wiring schemes(color codes) or general help is greatly appreciated.

| Comment | Thanks a bunch. The link to the pdf was helpful. It turns out the Audio Outlet in Gainesville,FL completely rewired the speakers, ignoring the factory harness and has really made correcting this problem very difficult. This all could have been avoided if they used a wiring harness. You were also right about the anttenna adapter too. They simply cut the old end off and attached another end, no wiring to power. | ||
