I’m in the process of installing a new radio. The disco is a Japanese import and had a jap kenwood installed. There are grey, light brown and pink plugs behind, with eight separate speaker plugs as well. I also think the pink one is for speakers. Maybe the orange one as well. Can anyone give me any pointers?! There seem to be too many options. There are also two antenna coax connectors - only one was in use. Is there a way to connect both, or combine them?
 
Oh dear, so we have three plugs, grey, light brown, pink and “maybe orange” plus eight separate speaker plugs, so with all those plugs you will have find a socket to match :(
Pointers: have look at a D1 wiring diagram although I don’t expect it will help as a D1 only has four speakers wired to the head unit.
Plus why do you wish to combine the antenna sockets?
So what’s the make and model of the head unit.
 
Chinese special no make from EBay. Was independently verified as being OK .
As I had two in window antennas it seemed like I might get better reception by using both ( rather than having the signals shadowed by the back of the vehicle in certain situations). Plus reception was pretty average using only one, so I thought it might be worth a go. Of course I can go and trace the speaker cables from the head unit to the speakers - but it’s a bit of a faff getting to them if someone here did it last week and can save me the time. Anyway I’ve bitten the bullet and connected the red yellow blue and black to the original loom. So at least it should work. Just need to work out the speakers...
 
Different size of co-axial plug I believe gives the practical indication of what is what, but usually the simplest way is the one gives the best reception is the one to use, that will be FM.

It radio installation for the Japanese market is identical to the UK market, it’s only the hardware that’s different i.e the head unit.
