Can someone help with radio wiring?

Post by GlynRS2 » Sun Feb 08, 2004 2:18 pm

I am planning to fit a Chorus 2 head unit into my RS2.
I have noticed that the pins for the black connector are labelled slightly different to before. So before I cause a meltdown I thought I would ask for some advice. To show you what I mean I have uploaded this picture:

My concerns are:
1) Pin 1 currently connects to the speed sensor output from the instrument panel, whereas it is now labelled BOSE on the Chorus 2 head unit
2) Pin 3 is a connection to the Battery +, whereas on the Chorus 2 it is labelled K-BUS (I think this is the system which enables you to both be able to turn on the radio independantly of the ignition switch and then be turned off by the ignition at the same time - i.e. intelligent switching).
Do you think it will be OK just to plug in the black connector & see if it works, or do I need to do some remedial wiring first? Image
