Re: Blaupunkt Harnesses

[Mark Mages <wasserbox@yahoo.com>]

If I remember correctly, the blue & white wire is for
the dimmer.  The lights turn on, and the face lights
get dimmer for night driving.  hehehe - if you hooked
that up to the power, it'll only run when the lights
are on.  I can't remember which color wire it is, but
I tested to see which wire in the steering column was
hot when the key was in, and spliced into that.

My stereo was a bundle of spaghetti after the PO let
the car get broken into.. I still find glass chunks in
the car every now and again.
