Done some more digging this morning removed my stereo from
Car and found these wires should go into the connector block for the stereo but wires have been cut for some reason.. Anyone got a clue what these wires are for.. I gonna try and reconnect them next weekend how easy it
It to put wires into the block I havnt got a clue how to do it and the existing wires from block are cut to short to use..

Yea everything works.. All I can think of is I get poo radio signal so could it to be summat with radio reception.. Or ppl say when you fit a aftermarket radio you lose the date on the mfd but I don't the date is always displayed on myn with radio on or off... When I get some spare tym I myt Just reconnect the wires and see what happens... ( but like I said I need to put new wires into the connecting block can this be done?) Unless anyone can shine a bit
Of light on this matter..

if youve got a multi meter or know someone who has got one then you can get them to check the voltage and continuety if nothing then trace it back to find out where there coming from mate
