Hi,

 

I've bought a mini with a.. less than stellar wiring job on the radio.

I've so far identified 12v and grounds obviously. The plug it all goes into has 12v going into what's supposed to be switched 12v. I've identified wires which are supposed to be the speaker wires but there are wires that go into the engine bay's wiring harness and have varying coloured wires.

 

Where can I start looking at what all these wires do?

Easiest way is to remove the dashboard so you have access to the wiring loom...

 

With yours being a MPI, I would have thought it had an ISO connector for the H/U and not a bunch of wires that hav been hashed together in the hope of them working...

Personally i would remove that wiring completely and start again.

 

If you are not confident with wiring it from scratch, you can get kits that are tailored to fit the Mini from WiredbyWilson here  http://www.wiredbywi...roducts-prices/ just scroll down to find the stereo loom.

 

Cheers
