Im trying to install an aftermarket stereo in a 1996 VW Jetta. I am in need of a wiring diagram for this car. Any help would be appreciated.

Also is there any kind of security conserns with the factory alarm and the factory stereo that I should be aware of before attemping this install? Or is it a simple swap out operation.

Thanks.

Here is a wiring diagram https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/detail.asp?info=alarm&year=1995-96&make=Volkswagen&model=Jetta%20III&ID=19120&type=Stereo However I would suggest instead of butchering the factory harness that you purchase a wiring kit https://autosoundgear.com/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=jopmcnq0 Use this one if your going to use the factory amp https://autosoundgear.com/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=joqopqj8
