Having mastered the production of the Lada Granta in the liftback body, VAZ began supplying a standard radio (not touchscreen) in the Norma+ car configurations. Let us immediately note that the radio tape recorders intended for Kalina-2 and Granta look the same, but their mounting is different, so these devices are not interchangeable. Looking ahead, let's say that a review made by the owner of a car with a similar radio is presented on video. Now let’s talk about what exactly VAZ is offering today to owners of Kalin and Grant in the Norma+ configuration.
Technical characteristics of the radio
Kalina's standard audio system
Technical characteristics of the standard radio in the Kalina “Lux” configuration:
- 2DIN touch screen;
- presence of stereophonic radio;
- ability to play multimedia files;
- ability to synchronize with a cell phone;
- work with bluetooth.
It is also good that cars with radios have passed all special tests before being released to the masses. They were tested at extremely low and extremely high temperatures, electromagnetic compatibility was checked with modeling of the radio interference spectrum.
Front speakers Kalina
There is audio preparation in the front doors, but on new Kalinas, in the standard configuration, there is no wiring in the front doors.
Set 13cm. Speakers in the front doors of Kalina can be installed in various ways. 1) Quick and easy installation, no need to remove door trim. Just attach the ring from the speaker to the door trim and circle it with a marker. Use a sharp knife to cut a hole in the upholstery. It is worth considering that the standard audio wires are short, so it is best to install the speakers in the viburnum door with the connectors facing down, otherwise the wiring may break when the glass is released.
2) Installation of speakers through spacers. This method, together with noise insulation, gives better sound quality. You will need to remove the door trim and attach the spacer rings from the kit (or make them from plywood) in the car door.If you choose the second method, then it is recommended to consider 16cm. speakers. Depending on the model of speakers of this size, they can be installed without spacers and no modifications will be required, or you will have to cut the door iron or install spacers.
Rules for choosing an audio system
Before you begin installing the radio on Kalina, you should select it at a car dealership or hardware store. The choice should be approached carefully and carefully. And before going to the store, it is better to decide on your desires and capabilities.
When choosing a radio for your car, you should decide which music media will be used as the main one. This will help you save some money. If, for example, a car owner is sure that he will not need a CD or cassette player, then why should he overpay for a radio with these functions.
Pioneer model range
When choosing a car radio, you should pay attention to the power ratings. They have a maximum and minimum threshold. Maximum power is rarely used, except in extreme situations. The choice should be made according to the rated power, that is, the one that is used most often. Manufacturers often indicate only maximum values on packages, so when choosing, you need to carefully study the instructions (passport), and not the box.
It is also worth paying attention to the control panel. It should be extremely simple and convenient, since it will most often be used while moving. Intricate designs can distract from the road. Convenient and understandable buttons and adjustable backlight brightness will only be beneficial. It is imperative to check the range of perceived frequencies. Since radio stations mainly broadcast in the range from 80 to 110 MHz, it is better that the tuner also has this range.
Pay attention to the number of outputs to the speakers and the resonant frequency, it should be lower.
Stages of dismantling the Kalina radio
Car owners do not always install a radio in an empty place. Often, before installing a new audio system, you have to dismantle the standard one. Many drivers are not satisfied with its quality and characteristics. In addition, according to reviews from car owners, the standard radio very quickly begins to “freeze”, “slow down” and “glitch”. That is why the owner of a Lada Kalina car first has to remove the existing audio system, and only then install a new one, chosen independently.
Stages of removing the original Kalina radio:
- dismantle the top removable panel;
- remove the plastic frame;
- using the keys included with the standard radio, remove the system from the tunnel: insert the keys into the sides of the radio and pull it towards you;
- disconnect the connectors with wires and the antenna.
You can install the radio with the help of specialists in a specialized center. But it’s realistic to do everything yourself, because there’s nothing complicated about it. The procedure takes no more than two hours, it all depends on skill and experience.
Car enthusiasts can give their stock radio another chance by tuning it. Reflashing the software settings will make the interface more convenient, the performance and service life of the device will increase.
Tricks of audio preparation on Lada Kalina
Domestic Lada of the latest generation
Lada Kalina cars are produced from the factory in different configurations, which determines the price of the car. With a full configuration, the car has an audio system; with a standard configuration, only audio preparation is present.
Currently, it is difficult to imagine cars without additional devices: audio and video systems, air conditioning, parking sensors.
In most cases, Lada Kalina hatchback cars are equipped with a standard audio system at the factory. But cars are also produced with conventional audio preparation, which only involves connecting all the necessary wires to the audio system.
Nuances of installing an audio system
Dismantling of the standard audio system is completed
Without knowing all the intricacies of connecting the radio, it will be impossible to carry out the installation correctly, as a result this will lead to rapid discharge of the battery.
Connect the radio in parallel sequence with the red and yellow wires. This connection allows the system to be turned on and off only using a button on the panel of the device itself. Sometimes the radio circuit is specially designed so that the amplifier is powered in standby mode. Such a system consumes more energy, so the battery drains quickly.
What is the correct installation of a radio? To begin with, you should highlight 4 main wires, each of which has its own color and performs a specific function. The black wire goes to ground, the yellow one provides power to the memory and the audio system itself, the red one provides a signal to turn on the MMC, and the blue one turns on the antenna and other possible devices.
Before connecting, professionals recommend assembling a simple circuit that will allow you to connect the radio through the ignition, due to which the battery will be charged much longer. When working with wires and circuits, you will need to pinout the connector. This will make the circuit easier to work with and understand.
The circuit is assembled in the following order:
Before connecting the circuit, you will have to remove the radio and the slide; it is not necessary to remove the console.
All wires must be connected in the correct order:
- wire No. 1 is connected to the contact from the rear window heating button;
- The 2nd wire is connected to the multimedia system;
- wire No. 3 is soldered to blue, which is responsible for turning on the antenna;
- The 4th wire is soldered to the blue antenna wire.
The previously assembled board can be secured inside the torpedo with a fixed tie. When connecting all contacts, only the soldering method, insulated with heat shrink, is used. Screwing of wires is excluded. Before starting work, be sure to disconnect the battery.
With this connection, the radio will turn on only when the ignition is turned on, but if it is turned off, it will continue to work until the driver turns it off. Restarting is possible when the car is started again.
Installing speakers on the door
Before installing the speakers, you need to remove the door panel and make a suitable hole in it, which must correspond to the size of the purchased speakers.
Attach the speaker to the door panel with screws by inserting it into the prepared hole. Then select the necessary wires and connect them to the speakers. As a rule, the outside of the speaker is covered with a special mesh.
Speakers from 5 to 13 cm are installed on the front doors of the car. Sometimes skilled craftsmen manage to install 16-inch speakers - this has a positive effect on the sound quality. But large speakers can create some inconvenience in the cabin, especially for the driver. They will prevent the glove compartment lid from opening or interfere with the driver while driving the vehicle.
After installing an audio system in a Lada Kalina car, you may encounter two problems.
- The radio does not turn on and there is no sound.
- A short circuit has occurred and the fuse has blown.
Both of these problems are the result of improperly connected wires. There is only one way out - carefully check all connections, following the instructions.
The question that worries many buyers of Lada Kalina cars with audio equipment without a standard radio and speakers is whether the warranty is still valid if you install the audio system yourself. The answer is pleasing: warranty service is maintained. But often dealership employees scare their customers by refusing warranty service if the audio system is not installed in their showroom. In fact, this is a standard way of extorting money from a client.
Installing an audio system justifies the money spent on it and improves the sound quality of music in the car. But you need to take into account that the equipment capabilities declared by the manufacturer may be significantly overestimated.

Second installation option
There is another way to connect the radio, which will ensure that it is turned on not through the ignition switch, but using a separate button.
Mounting blocks for installing an audio system
If the wires of the block turn out to be short (and this often happens), it is better to extend them in advance by soldering. Twisting is not suitable here and should not be used.
The button is connected in the following way:
Cut the wire that fits the contacts of the red wire of the radio and solder wires 1 and 2 into the cut. A and B should be connected to the same contacts from the rear window heating button or other similar buttons. Do not forget that during all electrical work the battery should be disconnected.
If, out of habit, the radio was turned off with its original button, this is not a problem, because the indicator of the new button will still light up and remind you of the need to turn it off.
For those who have already installed radios on other Lada family cars, installing a multimedia device on Kalina will be a breeze.
And so, I wrote here >> Pioneer MVH-190UBG or looking for the second plus from the ignition switch once about how I connected the radio through the ignition switch. After a while I realized it was inconvenient. Sometimes you want to stand in nature and listen to music without an engine. Buy left button
and I didn’t want to hit a torpedo somewhere. Since I have a Kalinka Norma configuration, I decided to use the recesses with plugs that were not used for additional buttons and did this... I bought a button for turning on the heated windshield costing 180 rubles + a chip of 50 rubles:
She is without fixation and I realized it when it was already too late 
I had to buy an additional button to turn on the air conditioner (it has a lock) for 95 rubles:
Why did you take this one? Because the buttons on the Kalina center console have the same design. The only difference is in the number of backlight diodes, fixed or not, and the “heads” indicating the function for which this button is intended. So I just took the button, changed the “head” and that’s it, now my windshield heating button is locked. I made the connection like this:
The only thing is that I took the “+” from the instrument lighting from the emergency lights. It also lights up when you turn on the dimensions. This is not to go far UPD: From the factory, there is a white wire in one bundle of power and speaker wires for the radio. Usually it is folded back and hangs just like that. This wire is taken from the instrument lighting on which a “+” also appears when the dimensions are turned on and vice versa according to the electrical diagram. So don’t mess with the emergency lights and get the button illumination from the white wire, that’s what it’s designed for.
Here's what happened:
PS: The button is not confusing)
Types of procedure
New generation Kalina with full audio kit
Depending on the vehicle's configuration, audio preparation may vary.
The “Standard” package involves connecting wires only to the head unit, that is, you can only install the radio. At first glance, it appears that there are no wires on the doors, as well as for the rear of the audio system. In fact, there are wires, but only on the driver's side door, and they are not routed outside. The car owner will have to complete the wiring for the speakers on the doors himself and run the wires for the rear of the audio system.
The “Norma” package includes preparation for installing the head part of the audio system, and the wires in the doors are already completely routed. In this case, the car owner will only have to independently connect the car radio and speakers and cut a hole in the doors.
The “Lux” package differs from the previous ones in that the car already has a pre-installed audio system: a standard head unit and speakers. The radio has built-in Bluetooth, a USB connector with the ability to read information from a flash drive, a 5-inch touch display and a linear output.

When choosing a car radio, you should pay attention to the power indicators. They have a maximum and a minimum threshold. Maximum power is rarely used, except in extreme situations. situations, it is worth doing according to the nominal indicators, then the power of the one that is used more often. In total, manufacturers indicate only maximum values on the packages, so when choosing, you need to carefully study the instructions (passport), and not the box.
It is also worth paying attention to the control panel.

Pay attention to the number of outputs to the speakers and the resonant frequency, it should be lower.
Speakers for viburnum, which ones to choose?
First, let's determine what size the standard speakers are in Kalina .
- The speakers in the front doors measure 13cm.
- The rear speakers on the Kalina sedan are 18cm, but you can manage to attach 17cm, or 9x6 pancakes.
- Rear speakers for Kalina station wagon 16″, you can attach other sizes, starting from 13cm.
- The rear speakers on the Kalina hatchback are installed in a shelf; the size for the “pancake” speakers is cut out as desired.
When choosing speakers for Kalina, keep in mind that the front speakers should be the main ones, and the rear ones should be secondary. Therefore, it is recommended to install 16cm instead of the standard front 13cm speakers. Learn more about which speakers to choose. Next, installing speakers in Kalina:
Stages of radio dismantling Kalina
Stages of removing the standard Kalina radio:
- dismantle the upper removable remove;
- panel plastic frame;
- using the keys included with the standard radio, remove the system from the keys: insert the tunnel on the sides of the radio and pull it off;
- connectors with wires and antenna.

Self-installation of a radio on a Lada Kalina
Improved car radio
Even in the “Standard” configuration, where the audio preparation is minimal, installing the radio will not be difficult, since all the wires necessary for this are already routed into the connector. The only problem that a car owner may encounter is the order and correctness of connecting the wiring to the system itself.
The two connectors for the radio are covered with a cover, which must be removed before installing the system. One connector is for powering the radio, and the second is for running under the door speakers.
The black and pink wires are the main ones for power. It is important to know and use the correct wiring diagrams, otherwise you can simply short out all the terminals and burn the fuses. At best, you simply cannot achieve the desired sound result.
Be sure to insulate all wires connected directly. Even those wires that are not useful for connecting the radio must be insulated in order to avoid their contact and short circuit.
option for the second installation of a radio on Kalina
There is also a different way to connect the radio, which will provide it through not turning on the ignition switch, but using a separate button.
wires If the pads turn out to be short (and this happens often), it is better to extend them in advance when soldering help. Twisting is not suitable here and cannot be used. Connected.
should button in the following way:
Cut the wire that fits the contacts of the red radio tape recorder wire and solder wires 1 and 2 into the cut. A and B should be connected to the same contacts from the heating button on the back of the glass or other similar buttons. It is worth remembering that during all electrical installation work the battery should be disconnected.
If, out of habit, the radio was turned off by the original button, this is not a problem, because the new button indicator will still be on and there will be no need to remind you to turn it off.
For those who have already installed radios on other cars of the installation family, a Lada multimedia device on Kalina will be a trifle at all.
Good afternoon. In today's article I will tell you how to connect a car radio in a car and analyze typical errors in connecting radios. Traditionally for our site, the article is equipped with detailed photos and video instructions.
To connect the radio we need:
- The car radio itself, the speakers and their wires
- Stationery knife or special knife. tool for removing insulation from wires.
- Insulating tape.
- Fuse (10a-15a) and its connector.
- Multimeter or test light.
- Crown battery
The simplest option is that the car has audio preparation.
Audio preparation – i.e. Special connectors, an antenna are installed in the car's wiring, and speakers are fixed in standard places. For many models, audio preparation is an option, and many owners refuse it in order to reduce the cost of the car when purchasing, but this should not be done, since radio installers will ask for much more money for it.
With factory audio preparation, installing a radio comes down to purchasing an adapter between the wiring connectors and your radio.
Adapters are freely sold in most stores that sell radio tape recorders, but if you want to save money, you can order them on AliExpress.
The adapters look like this:
The second most difficult option is that the car does not have audio preparation, but a radio tape recorder was previously installed (for example, a cassette).
In this case, you need to replace the radio connector with a new connector (or maybe you’ll be lucky and they will match).
The diagram for connecting a car radio looks like this:
Most likely after you cut off the old radio connector (it’s better to do this with the battery terminal removed). You will have several wires and you need to determine where they are coming from, usually you need to find the permanent positive, positive from the ignition, ground and speakers.
How it's done?
Note (sometimes this wire is connected to a permanent positive, but in this case the radio will drain the battery, since it will not have a standby mode)
All of you can connect the radio. If everything is done correctly, it will light up.... But you also need to connect speakers and an antenna to the radio.
Connecting speakers.
You have 10 wires left. One of them is an antenna cable, one plus antenna power and 8 wires from the speakers.
Wires from speakers usually come in pairs, but their markings are not always correct. Therefore, we need a crown battery.
We attach it to a pair of wires for 1-2 seconds and listen to which speaker clicks. Next, we look at the speaker itself and connect the battery again. If the speaker goes forward, then the polarity is correct, and we screw it + to + and – to -, in accordance with the diagram. If the speaker goes inside, it means the polarity is wrong and we connect it the other way around.
Here's a video on how to determine speaker polarity:
It is very important to monitor the polarity, otherwise the sound in the car will be of very poor quality!
We consistently check and connect all the speakers, front left. Rear left, rear right, front right.
Connecting an antenna usually does not cause any difficulties.
Here is a short video about connecting a car radio, but the red and yellow colors are mixed up (as written correctly in the article):
The third most difficult option is to install a car radio in a car without audio preparation for the first time.
Don't be alarmed, there is a lot less text here since there is no need to determine the purpose of the wires. The labor intensity is higher since we will be laying these wires!
The connection diagram does not change:
- We draw a constant positive from the battery, always through a 10-15 ampere fuse, with a wire of 2.5-4 squares!
There is an option to take a permanent plus from the cigarette lighter, but as practice has shown, usually the cigarette lighter is powered by a 1.5 square meter wire and has a 10 ampere fuse. In my car, when the tire inflation pump was connected and the radio was running, this fuse burned out!
- We look under the panel (for example, on the fuse block or on the ignition switch) for the wire where the plus appears when the ignition is turned on, and accordingly, from there we pull the wire to the plus of the radio, which is responsible for turning it on. You can hook this wire to a permanent plus, but the radio will drain the battery!
- We lay the ground wire and securely fasten it to the body (for example, to fasten a panel to the body)
- We install the speakers in their regular places and lay their wires, be sure to observe the polarity!
- We connect the antenna and its control wire.
The installation of the radio is complete, you have just saved 1.5-3 tr.
The most complex option is that the car radio is installed in a car with non-standard wiring (trucks and vintage cars).
Therefore, they connect the car radio to one battery (the one with the minus side attached to the car body), and from its plus they pull the wire into the cab to the radio. This solution does exist, but it has a significant drawback - after 1-2 weeks of inactivity, the battery will be severely discharged and it will be impossible to start the engine without charging it!
To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to use a special voltage converter. It looks like this:
Usually they refuse the memory of the radio and connect the device according to this scheme:
As a result, the memory function of the radio will not be used, but it will not drain the battery and, most importantly, there is no need to run a non-standard wire from the battery into the cabin.
The converters themselves are sold in online stores; as an option, consider purchasing on aliexpress.
In the case of vintage cars, non-standard supply voltages (6 volts) or + on the car body are possible. Connecting a car radio in such cars is decided individually each time and has no general recommendations.
ISO pinout or pinout is the identification of each electrical connection pin in a connector or diagram according to its corresponding numbering and functionality. The speaker system of any manufacturer is connected to the standard ISO connectors of the car. Proper pinout will help you get a good sound at the output and not burn out the connectors with voltage. You can understand the wires using standard diagrams. You can install any brand of car radio without having specialized knowledge in electrical engineering. When working with non-standard connectors, do not forget about safety. “Ring” the wires using a multimeter.
What is audio preparation
This is equipping the car with wiring, with the help of which in the future the owner of the car will independently install the audio system chosen according to his taste and budget. The car owner installs a radio, speakers, and a subwoofer. An acoustic shelf is mounted as an alternative to standard preparation for speakers.
Such audio preparation is important for those who value high-quality sound and who care about how music sounds in the interior of their car. For those who do not want to waste money on a cheap standard audio system, but want to install high-quality musical equipment.
Preparing the door for installing the column
Audio preparation is carried out by those who prefer everything exclusive and individual. Real car audio requires a special professional approach and attention to detail. Needless to say, such high qualities cannot be achieved at a factory due to conveyor production.
Installing a high-quality audio system yourself does not always lead to excellent sound. This is all due to the fact that the interior of a car is not considered ideal for acoustics. Sound waves from the speakers are distortedly reflected from the windows and other surfaces of the car. And speakers are often installed in the wrong place, since during factory audio preparation, holes are drilled in standard, inconvenient places.
Sound reproduction is also affected by factors such as electrical interference, engine and external noise, and constant vibrations. Fortunately, now all interference can be easily eliminated and the system can be modified, you just need to know how to do it. If your own knowledge is not sufficient to install and modify the audio system, experienced car audio specialists will come to the rescue. The main requirements, after high-quality sound, remain reliability and ease of control of the system.
The ideal sound for a car enthusiast and for a music listener at home has significant differences.
The basis of a car audio system is a player, which must have certain characteristics.
- Supported media format. Ordinary audio cassettes have long since sunk into oblivion, and CDs are already outliving their last years and becoming less and less popular.
- Player output power. It varies from weak (25 watts) to strong, more than 55 watts. Moreover, the price of the system directly depends on the power.
But even the best player will not play music perfectly if it is paired with low-quality speakers. The best sound can be achieved from speakers that are optimally combined with the head unit, that is, the equipment must have the same power.
What is iso
ISO is an international organization that develops standards and regulations for various industries. The abbreviation sounds the same in all languages. A Russian manufacturer working in accordance with standards labels its products with the abbreviation “ISO” or “ISO”. All well-known developers of car radios equip their products with two types of standard plugs. Each looks like an eight-pin rectangular connector.
Pinout of a standard Euro connector
A Euro connector is a standard plug used in most countries around the world. When connecting equipment, you may encounter non-standard wires tangled in a bundle. This problem is solved by purchasing adapters and pinouting the radio chips.
Standards 1din and 2din
Speaker system connectors come in two types: non-standard ones from the manufacturer, mostly pin-type, and standardized European ones, which are located at the back. Installation of equipment with a special audio connector from the manufacturer will require the use of a special proprietary connector. If the plug is ISO, then you can connect to it directly. There are two types of Euro connectors: 1din and 2din, the difference is in the height of the car radios. The two-block one is twice as tall; it is not connected to all cars, because there is no space on the panel for the required dimensions.
Radios with European 1din are the most common.
When installing car radios, wires with a small diameter of 1.5-2 mm are used, for power lines - with a large cross-section. Failure to follow these simple rules will distort the sound and damage the equipment.
Manufacturers in Japan, the USA and some Chinese use the 2din standard.
Upper power connector A
The plug is used to supply electricity to the receiver, antenna and amplifier, as well as when it is necessary to control the backlight or turn off the sound signal. Standard color markings are used. Outputs 1-3 and 6 are not used in low- and mid-price segment speakers; they are intended for additional options for high-end products.
Connection types
- The first is the connection in the socket of wires of two colors, yellow and red, turning the receiver on/off does not depend on the ignition. The method is inconvenient because it predisposes the battery to discharge if the acoustics are not turned off;
- The second wire is connected through the ignition switch, the yellow wire is connected to the on-board computer.
Functional purpose of the receiver outputs
| ANT | The connector is used if the car has a retractable antenna |
| Remote | Multiple speakers can be connected |
| Illumination | Allows you to change the intensity of the device's glow |
| Mute | Adjusting the sound |
| A4 | Turn on/off |
Pinout of radio ISO connector
| A 4 | Color yellow | Battery + Power |
| A 5 | Color blue | Antenna. |
| A 6 | Color orange | Backlight |
| A 7 | Color red | Ignition, 12V. When disconnected, reset settings to factory settings. |
| A 8 | Color black | Acoustics |
Bottom speaker connector B
Used to connect amplifiers (2 cables each). The sound of the equipment depends on whether all connectors are connected correctly. The main thing is not to confuse them, otherwise the acoustics will be of poor quality.
Rules for connecting speakers by color marking of wires
| Color white | Left front |
| Color grey | Right front |
| Color green | Left rear |
| Color violet | Right rear |
Advice for future and current owners of VAZ push-button radios
The release of standard VAZ “devices”, devoid of an expensive “sensor”, has been expected for a long time. Back in the first half of the year, we were told that such a unit should appear in the fall. As you can see, VAZ was embarrassed to build a graphic display into the radio, and all information on the screen is displayed in standard symbols. The only available backlight color is emerald (there will be more of these colors in crossovers). The device is a “turn on and listen” device, and in standby mode the display displays the time.
The fact that the manufacturer placed the USB port right on the face of the radio is not bad. Now owners have the opportunity to quickly connect a USB drive, or use the standard port as a power source. It will be easy to connect a smartphone or tablet and place it on the dashboard. This is cool! It is recommended to immediately install a short USB flash drive into the USB port to protect it from dust. And it’s also advisable to occupy the port intended for SD cards with something.
All radios produced by Itelma LLC are well aware of a file system such as FAT32. This means that you need to format flash drives in it, onto which audio files in MP3 and WAV format will then be recorded. The signal to the speakers standardly installed in the doors comes without distortion, and the power of the built-in amplifiers is unlikely to seem insufficient to anyone. Enjoy it for your health.
A device called 7900010-40 in the interior of Kalina-2
We can state the fact that the new head unit developed by AvtoVAZ turned out to be more than twice cheaper than the touch media center. So, there is no need to succumb to the persuasion of sellers to buy a 7900010-40 radio for 10, 8 or 6 thousand rubles. However, we will leave the choice to the owner.
In fact, VAZ acted very unusually by releasing another “device” in a non-standard form factor. Car dealers should not have any problems with the availability of one or another radio, since the car plant has been working on pre-orders since September. True, it will be difficult to purchase the “device” in question separately from the car, unlike luxury media. The main thing is that two requirements are now met at once: the owner does not overpay for unnecessary options, and at the same time uses only standard VAZ equipment. It would have been like this a long time ago... Let's say if the radio was 1DIN high, it would be equipped with a removable muzzle, but what's good about that?
Dual ISO connector
The standard audio systems of some cars are connected with a double plug. The pinout of connectors for them is standard. The contact halves are connected to each other by a durable plastic jumper and secured with a special clamp. For correct installation, a guide groove is used, which prevents the plug from being installed in the wrong position.
The black one connects a current source to the radio, the brown one for acoustics.
Adapters for ISO connectors
Cutting off a non-standard standard plug and connecting the wires directly is not recommended, because over time the connection will become loose, may oxidize, you will have to solder not only the wiring, additional repairs will be required, replacing blown fuses. Sometimes there are acoustics with three outputs, but they have standardized markings and electrical circuits that allow you to connect standard cables to the device using pinouts.
