I have a 2000 Citroen Xsara and have removed the factory fitted radio because I wish to connect my JVC CD player, I cannot afford the connector kit and therefore wondered if anyone knows which colour wire is which in order for me to wire it up myself.
I'm aware that the rewiring option isn't ideal but the car is only worth £400 and won't be sold on. I know which of the stereo's wires do what but just want to know which of the citroens wires do what.
Hi there, right it can be done but i suggest caution. get your self a 12volt tester to check positive wiring there will be two feeds one battery feed and one ignition feed. once you have isolated these two wires then things will be a bit simpler.next is to identify the earth wire and this is usually a thicker wire, it will either be black, white or brown. your Speaker wires wil be grouped together, and be thin wires, the only problem is finding the right speaker wire to join to your jvc. what i usually do is to cut the speaker wires in the xsara individually before you remove old unit if it is a four speaker system just take note which speaker stops working when cut just twist the two wires together with tape so it will be easier to fit to new unit. just take you time but please ensure you isolate positive wires or you will damage Your jvc.and as you know where the positive wires go in new unit it should be fine.
