Need wiring Diagram for 6 CD Changer

[Kassel]

1999 1.8T


My Passat was killed (another story) I removed the 6 CD changer (trunk mounted) before the car was taken away but left two CDs in the cart. I am looking to put power the the unit to eject the cart but do not know what color the Hot is (black)?? Assuming white is neutral. Does anyone have a wiring diagram that shows this and what voltage can be applied?

Colors on the plug are:red, blue, white, yellow, purple, black, orange, brown, green.

Anyone interedted in the unit??

thx

Power should be yellow. Black is universally negative, I believe.

Isn't the hot wire usually the thickest?

see the mobile electronics cross post.

Tom, that is definitely not the case for this - each wire in that harness is the same gage, as they are for most electronics like audio, DVD players, etc.

Well, IIRC when I installed the OEM in dash CD changer in my B5 the power wire was thicker than the others. But maybe just my brain is thicker as this was a few years ago.

I bet this is in the Bentley.
