Installing aftermarket stereo?
Howdy all,
I just purchased a '94 90CS quattro after owning an '85 4000S and an '88 90
quattro.
The car comes with keyless entry and the factory alarm works with the
factory stereo so that the buzzer sounds when the stereo is left on, as
well as the alarm being activated if the stereo is "stolen."
I am intending to put my old CD player in the car and in talking to a
couple of car stereo places, was first told that there isn't an aftermarket
adapter for the factory harness which I'm a little bummed about but can
deal with. The second thing I was told was a bit more "alarming." (Sorry
couldn't resist that.) I was told that if I removed the factory stereo
from the car that my alarm and keyless entry wouldn't work.
Does anyone out there have any personal experience with replacing the
stereo on one of these cars? Anything I need to keep in mind when
hardwiring the new stereo in?
TIA,
Ron Bauer
