....the din connector is supposed to go with the radio but folks in

a hurry pull the stereo often leave the din plug behind thinking it

is part of the car's wiring. A good stereo place may be able to

make one up because it's a pretty simple connector. I have had

this done to other stereos. Give it a shot-you might get lucky.

Pull the cover off of the radio (carefully). You should be able to trace + and - easily. Once you find those 2 wires, the rest are speaker wires, very easy to identify. Go to radio Shack, get some pins that will solder on the end of a wire & fit the hole, and make your own harness. Be careful with the power wires though. Good luck.

thanks for the tip. I removed the top of the radio and the damn circuit board is smack in the way, blocking the DIN. However, I can see 5 wires which are coming out from beneath the circuit board and my guess is these are connecting into the DIN. They are in order, Red, Blue, Black, Brown, Yellow. Now I don't know which wires go where into the DIN.

I thought it was a 7-pin...but I think the seventh is actually some kind of alignment hole. Maybe that makes this a 6-pin DIN?

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
