hey guys

a chick friend of mine wants a cd player put in her 90's barina ,are they hard to do ,is there wiring a prob or should i just get a areopro wiring harness thing for it and what sizer speakers are in it .is it to ahrd to fit 6x9's

let me know

cheers jarrod

which barina? suzi based or Opel based. one has an adapter one doesnt.

suzi i think i'll find out it's a early 90's one

ok if its a suzi then there is not a plug for it ( unless its a 97 swwift) so you will have to poke and prod to find what you are after.

if its an OPEL then aeropro make a ISO -> bare wires plug for it ( really depends on the OEM unit.) and the antenna is different as well.

ok i found out it's a 98 model does that help ??

what car audio retailers do you have up there in the mountains?

Places like Autobarn etc should either stock the harness Chris suggests or be able to order them in.

You'll also need a european antenna adaptor cause they have pain in the ass plugs on them.

should have 6" factory splits, well my 94 did.

the only place you'll get 6x9s in a barina is in the rear shelf, just buy a sub/amp combo and give her some real bass.

um none i will have to go to penith thats my clostest autobarn ,jaycar,supercheap.
so they make an aeropro wireing harness for a 98 model ?


so whats this antenna plug look like ,do jaycar sell them ?

yep . tell me what radio you are putting in and I'll tell you what plug you need. jaycar will have the plug (AP349 from aeropro- $6 - plug is $14 for a radio specific one.)

um im not sure yet ,prob depends on what she thinks "looks good"

hahah prob a pioneer or jvc headunit

so what does this antenna plug look like ??

like this:

ok we got a kenwood deck ,went to supercheap but couldnt find a aeropro plug harness for it .does anyone have a wiring diagram or know if there's a model number for the harness please let me know ,prob install it on the weekend

cheers jarrod

ok
AP349 is the plug
APP8KE - is the direct adapting plug.

I have the AP349 but not the plug. should be able to do a ring around penrith and find one.

does repco or autoone stock aeropro?

they should. repco I know do.

ok cool i'll ring them and see if they can get it in

so the APP8KE will plug stright into the barina wiring harness and then into the kenwood headunit ?? is that right ?

if i cant find one

do you have the wiring diagram for it if you do can you post it please

cheers jarrod

i got the plug and it all pluged in sweet ,except getting the stock headunit out was a bitch

stock eurovox unit pulls out. the blau one is a pain.

ok i have one problem she drove the car today and the stereo doesnt hold it's memory any ideas ??

yep. swap the red & yellow wire positions. you'll need a pick to swap teh pins around in the plug. its an opel thing.

arh ok awsome i'll do that tomorrow cheers mate

ok i swaped them ,then theres nothing wont turn on

so got any other susgestions or should i just run a new wire from the battery .do you know of an easy place to get one throught the firewall?

cheers jarrod

ok picture time. take a few shots of the plug you have and the pluh in the car. I'll draw on them and show you where you went wrong.

ok i'll do that ,but should it just plug stright in ??

also new problem ,if she has the stereo on when driving the car goes wierd and nearly stalls and lights go out and stuff but i'll take a pic as soon as i can

that stalling thing aint stereo related, its just an Opel birth defect(actually more like a reoccuring rash) that rears its ugly head from time to time.........

but try checking the fuel filter too...........

yes it should. however, rather than making assumptions I would like to see what you have ( I have two of these cars in van form) and fix the problem for you.

re the stalling: its an opel thing. as is rough running on a hot day.

hey

ok well i took some pics

they didnt come out real well so i edited them





ive hooked it up like this

white plug to middle plug
black plug to right side plug

let me know guys

use this:

colors are:
yel - +12v
red - +12v key
blk - gnd
blu - antenna


wht- left frt
gry- rt frt
grn - lt rear
vio - rt rear

and the diagram below.

sorry mate i dont really understand that ,i know im dumb ,
so you dont want me to use the plugs just wire them up like normal ,do you have a wiring diagram ,or the colours of the wires for what they do ?

thanks

use the plugs you have. plug them so they fit. SWAP the yellow and red wires around as opel wire them backwards.

your plug should have the red and black wires on top of each other and the yellow off to the side.
use the diagram and wiring I gave you above and it will work.
( pay for a plane ticket down and I'll fix it in 30secs..)

you need to swap the red and yellow as the maybe around the wrong way some of the audis , barina s are bum about

i swaped them around and it does nothing ,the headunit wont even turn on if i do that

then you have a blown fuse. pull each fuse out of the panel and check it.
one of them is blown.

hmmm shoould have check that in the first place,im an idiot

i'll give it a go when i put the speakers in tomorrow

Pay for that plane ticket... easy fix

have fun they aren't std sizes..

ok an update

speakers are in and working

wired headunit up and working now keeps memory,

bad news when ever you drive the car with stereo on theres no speedo,temp,or km working ,and then it the battery lights comes on and it stalls,

as soon as you turn the stereo off the car works fine

can anyone shed some light on that

take teh car to penrith and get the stereo fitted professionally. seriously.

this will save you destroying a $500 engine management computer just to save $90..
remove the stereo and drive it to a shop.

so you have no other ideas?

ive done everything you have said ,i wish they would make things easy ,like these adaptor plugs they should just work shouldnt they ??

AAAAARRRRHHHHH who knows

not that I'm going to post online. (take it to a shop before you destroy something.)

ok thanks for ya help mate

will let her know ,prob take it to auto elec
