Radios

All pin-outs are looking at the face of the connector.
NOTE: There are two kinds of CD changer connectors for pre-99 VWs. One is pink, and one is black. The pink connector is for the panasonic radio (manufactured by Matsushita, with data and RCA connectors at the changer), and the black one is for the Clarion radios (single connector at the changer). These are NOT the same. THe pinout that follows is for the Panasonic radio only.
NOTE: certian US-built models have a different radio conector style then shown here. THey have a black 4 pin connector and then individual plugs to the radio for each speaker. The wire colors shown below still apply.
