Guys

The stereo wiring in my Son's 320 has been badly bodged in the past. I'm going to fit a proper ISO connector to fit his modern stereo but it would be really useful if someone could confirm the original E30 wiring colours. Speakers aren't important because I'm running new leads, but I could do with knowing the colours for:

Live

Earth

Electric aerial drive

Thanks.

Permanent live = red/green
Ignition switched live = Purple white
Earth =brown
Panel illumination = grey/red
Aerial control = white, part of a parallel twin with a red (for aerial permanent power), which goes to a red/yellow off of the accessories socket.

Thanks for that-exactly what I needed. With the aerial one, will it just be the white that I connect to the ISO socket ?
