Dashmaster Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 When I remove the Cassette Deck, I loose power to Power antenna and no sound from Radio. I would like to remove it completely, Do any of you know what wires need to be connected to make the Radio and power antenna work ? I did search for this information and checked ROJ and have found nothing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 My cassette is still in place with the power harness to it. What I did was make a lead to plug into what I will call the "speaker harness" that I plug into my MP3 player. Still have the factory look but now have an updated sound system. I know that is not the answer you are looking for but would like to know what your end results will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashmaster Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 My deck was dead and had no plans to fix it. I took the Face off it and mounted a ABS Blank Panel over it with Cell phone mount. Since I just finished my sound system, I can now do Bluetooth from Phone to FM Modulator Bluetooth adapter. Now that the car has a sub it sounds good now. I was hoping to remove it so I could mount another power port there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handmedownreatta Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 so if i hook 12 volts to the red white wire will it eliminate having to reinstall the cassette player after unhooking the battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry yarnell Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I see no reason why the radio won't work with the cassette deck removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
