Installing new Blaupunkt in '85 911

[OnNorthFace]

I will probably get some help to install a new Blaupunkt Toronto 410 BT in my '85 - but does anyone happen to know what the right wiring harness is? I have looked all over eBay but no-one explicitly lists the harnesses as fitting this deck. The plugs look the same as many Blaupunkts (two sets of 8 - one clips in the center of the plug and the other at the bottom)...

Any clues?

Thanks.

The guys at Crutchfield .com maybe able to help.

do you need the harness which plugs into the radio? if so post a pic of the back of your radio...

[OnNorthFace]

Yes - exactly - I need the harness that plugs into the rear of the stereo....thanks.

These may be the harnesses you need: Plugs - SW Stereo Specialists

If those aren't the ones, then give SW Stereo a call and they'll likely be able to hook you up (figuratively and literally).

Thanks very much. I will follow up with them

the top one is speaker out, the middle one is power/grounds, the bottom are for preamp out to external amp.
both the speaker plug and power plug should be the same as any vw or mercedes up through the 90's.

this is what you need, not affiliated with seller.....just as example....

be aware

the ign/battery wires may be reversed (no big deal, won't hold memory if so so just swap them)

and the blue power antenna wires you'll need to check with a test light to see which turns off with the tuner....

the speaker wires should be dead on.....

Hi. Curious how the rest of you installation progressed and if you like the Toronto 410 BT. Also, did you pick up a harness?

I was considering ordering one off of ebay since it does not seem to be all that available domestically. Primary reason for selecting this unit is that is does not look garish as so many head units do.

Thanks,

John
