Can anyone please tell me where these wires from the rear of the head unit go;

Black I know goes to the brown
Red
Yellow

Pic inserted as I have no idea what the grey and red stripe(top of pic with no end on) does
Also there is a grey with violet stripe one.

i have blown about three fuses and get no lights on the headunit so any help would help

Not much help, but don't you have a 12v tester?
As far as I know, one is Perm Live, One is switched live, one is earth.

Black of your h/u should be earth
Yellow will be Fused perm live(Memory)
Red should be Fused switched live.

hi Rav sorry I should have mentioned in my last post that I took the wiring diagram from a fellow e30 hope this will maybe help others as the wire loom from the radio dash can be confusing if you dont have a tester.
