A 30min installation guide on how to Get your cd player to tun off with the ignition key in MK1.
Tools required: Snips, Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Crimping bites i.e. straight connector and bullet socket, Length of suitable wire (I used the live out of some 2core 240v 0.75mm flex),Allen key 3mm, And this guide
1. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY
2. Now remove the 3 screws holding the plastic trim underneath the steering wheel using a 3mm Allen key.
3. On the left hand side or the steering wheel there is a white plug with 4 wires unplug it.
4. There is a blue and yellow wire in the plug (see pick as its the one i have separated)
5. Cut the blue and yellow wire about 3" from the plug and strip the ends revealing the copper and crimp a straight through connector onto the bit of wire thats still connected to the plug. Then get your new bit of wire and strip the end of it revealing the copper and twist onto the other half of the blue and yellow wire and insert into the other end of the crimp and crimp shut. Or solder them and heat shrink it if you prefer doing it that way.
6.Cut your new bit of wire to length and crimp on the required end to connect to the live on your cd player (In my case a bullet socket)
7. Then plug into the live on your cd player and plug the white plug back into the ignition barrel re connect the battery put key into ignition and turn on.
8. Now your cd player should come on and off with the ignition.
9. Now to tidy away the new cable running from your ignition to your cd player and screw back the plastic trim underneath the steering wheel.
Hope this helps you
