In Reply to: '82 320i Stereo Installation posted by kuromu on May 20, 2001 at 01:12:06:
I was recently given a BMW 320i from my friends parents who no longer wanted it after it sat for 18 years. The stereo has been stolen out of it, and I'm trying to put a new one in. Problem is I have no idea what goes where. The front/rear speakers shouldn't be too hard to find out, but I need to know what the 12+V(Power)/Ground and anything else pertinent colours are. I can't find a Haynes manual or any reference on here or otherwise. If ANYBODY could please give me a hand in this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Once again, thanks in advance...

Yeah youd be better off just tapping into a constant hot and a keyed hot for the deck .
Then run new wires to the speakers in front and rear .
This will be the best thing to do , since the factory set-up actually has a fader wired into the speaker wiring .
To find a constant hot and keyed hot use a test-light or a volt/ohm meter .
If you can't figure this out then you shouldn't be messing with it in the first place .
Get someone else to install it for you .
Oh yeah , the speakers are 4x6 in front and rear .
