I have purchased a new radio for the 86 535I. The power is on the antenna works but I can not find the speaker wires under the dash. There appears to be only 2 speaker wires for all 4 speakers. Any help would be appreciated.

As info - I tested the radio by hard wiring the front two speakers through the seat compartment and they do work. I just can't find the wires under the dash in the old radio compartment

thanks in advance


Chipster,
Yeah this may be the wrong board technically, but you still drive a BMW and that's what these boards
are all about. I just got done wiring the radio in our '86 535 that we rebuilt so all this is clear to me now. I have the info in the shop and I will email you the wire color codes tomorrow morning.
Talk to you later,

Tom M in PA
