if you did not locate the factory tuner/amp you can try under the glove box or in the trunk. Let me know if there is an antenna cable at the dash area or not and I will help you with the install.

BTW the wiring info is all TOTALLY  wrong I want some of those drugs..lol, well not so much wrong as totally useless...( everything is N/A and it says antenna left rear..you figure out what that means..     Look for this:

Constant...red w/ white

acc. BLACK / YELLOW

ill...gray/red

remote for power ant...blue

ground...brown

speakers..depends BUT..the negatives will have a brown stripe..if a factory dash fader green is right...red is left....keep me posted. But one thing that is correct..verify with a meter..ALWAYS

I am having a little difficulty understanding your posts but I can tell you that if a battery is poping the speakers there is no factory amp. You may have some blown speakers (it is an older vehicle) or perhaps a factory fader (look for the "dial" in the console or above the radio) Also if the antenna cable is at the dash there is no seperate tuner which should simplify the install. If the power antenna does not go up you will need to remast it or replace it if the motor is out or you will have lousy radio reception. However the CD will still work so it may be a non issue depending.

If all else fails simply replace the speakers. If still having problems run new wires from the speakers. As far as fuses you can get those at any auto parts store, although those type fuses are no longer used they are readily available. If no auto parts stores where you are have them you can order them on line (they are really cheap) or hit a junk yard and rape the fuses out of an older german car.

Good Luck
