Operation
The fascia is fitted with a radio contact box.

The following variants exist:

900 116: A radio contact box with amplifier (349)

900 T16: A radio contact box with amplifier (349). This contact box is equipped with a shielded cable with an 18-pole connector, for the connection of a CD player or equalizer. The shielded cable is fitted with two 13-pole connectors 351 (DIN connectors). The CD player or equalizer can be connected by inserting it into a contact box located in the top compartment of the centre console.

In addition, the car is factory-wired, and speakers and an electrically operated aerial are fitted, to facilitate the installation of a radio.

The radio contact box must be connected to the aerial cable and to two 10-pole connectors 98 (267), one for the power supply and the other for the speakers.

The contact box with amplifier (349) is fitted with a 3A blade fuse to the right (for the electric aerial) and a 15A blade fuse to the left (for the amplifier, equalizer and radio).

Power supply
The following cables are connected to the upper 10-pole connector 98 shown on the wiring diagram:

Grey (pin 1) - Positive supply via fuse 28, which is supplied directly from the battery (regardless of the position of the ignition switch).

Red (pin 4) - Positive supply via the ignition switch and fuse 20. The radio is supplied when the ignition switch is in the parked or drive position.

Black (pins 5, 9 and 10) - Earth.

Green (pin 6) - For control of the electrically operated aerial (265). The motor of the electrically operated aerial is supplied via fuse 28.

Brown/white (pin 8) - Dial lighting. The supply is taken from the instrument lighting rheostat 17.

Speakers
The speaker connections are made via the lower 10-pole connector 98 shown in the diagram.

Left-hand front:
Green (pin 1) -
Brown (pin 2) +

Right-hand front:

Each speaker is connected via single-pole connector 60.

Fault-tracing hints

1. Check the supply to the radio and the earth connection.
2. Check the connectors.
3. Check the existing cable harness for open circuits and short circuits to earth.
