Rev 1 1990 G-Limited

Hi
My car is a 1990 G-Limited with the active system ,but only one sub behind the passenger seat , and a single white plug behind the dash ,and with the AM aerial running down the windscreen
I have fitted an aftermarket stereo using the aftermarket loom adapter as can be bought for the active system (cant remember the part number ) This is how the wires relate to each other from the car, to the adapter and stereo

car to STEREO
red with silver dots FRONT SPEAKER(RCA)
blue with silver dots REAR SPEAKER (RCA)
brown with silver dots REAR SPEAKER (RCA)
yellow with silver dots NOT USED (BEEP)
white with silver dots FRONT SPEAKER (RCA)
black with silver dots TELEPHONE MUTE
green with silver dots (center of plug) LINKS THE EARTH ON SPEAKERS
brown with silver dots (thicker wire) EARTH
blue with brown stripe and silver dots LIVE
green with silver dots (one side of plug) NOT USED
pink with blue stripe and silver dots AMP REMOTE (needs live)
black with red stripe and silver dots ANTENNA PERMANENT
white with green stripe and silver dots NOT USED
Grey with red stripe and silver dots FUSED LIVE

In summary one side of the plug is the power and the other is the speakers , my speakers didn't work at first until i fed a live feed to the AMP REMOTE ,but i recommend this feed to be switched otherwise you will get a loud thump from the speakers as soon as ignition is switched on,And i used to get a constant buzz from the amp even without the stereo turned on due to a permanent live feed to the amp

Your stereo wires might differ from mine though and this is only a guide as to how mine is wired.
If it works for you might be worth making it a sticky for future reference hope it helps '

Well done those lads, saved me from butchering the wires with this little snippet!!!
Just to make things easier for some1 else following this, i have taken pics of the whole thing.
My car is a rev 1 na uk gt-tbar, with active system:
this is the car plug

here is the wire which needs the live feed (i used the blue or blue/white wire coming from the back of my aftermarket head-unit - the remote cable) it is the lowest wire in the picture (as previously mentioned it is blue/pink with silver dots)

here is the connection i created from the remote cable to the cars plug with some simple spade connectors
and some red wire

your rca plugs should connect to the back of the headunit, and so to the adapter to the cars loom also.
ENJOY!!! [Dancing]
