I have a Volkswagen Passat 1999 with original Clarion PU1634 (1J0 035 186) radio. I changed the radio to Sony and now I have this original available for other purposes. I had an idea that I want to use it as a carage radio, but the connection is a problem. The radio has the following connections diagram on the case: KL31, KL30, KL58b, S, SAFE, K-LN, ALM and also the speaker diagram I tried to connect the +12V and ground (KL31 and KL30 which have been proven to be correct), but nothing happened. Can anybody give me any ideas which wires I have to connect to get it working and also the explanation about the above connections. Any help would be appreciated. Rise

No idea what the above connection designators mean, but I assume they are VW specific labels and can be found in the vehicle's wiring diagrams. You will need, as a minimum, to conenct +12V, Ground, AND switched power. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Kevin, I have the CD changer for the radio as well (panasonic 6 disc changer, original with the car). I want to connect the changer into the radio. Do you have that cable available? Regards, Rise
