please help me identify some wires

[tim eh?]

It's a mess in here!

Most of this stuff is accounted for, I am wondering about three wires in particular.

There is a white/black wire with a blue connector.

There are also two grey/black wires. Neither are in use - both have been connected to something with a red butt-end... see them?

There is also a mysterious ground, no big deal.

The blue/yellow wires (4 of them + 2 spkr grounds?) are a mystery to me also, I believe they were either for the factory cd changer or for the external F/R fade wheel. Bentley's not much help here... I assume NCA means either 'no colour assigned' or 'no chance, a$XXXX'.

any guesses appreciated - Thanks in advance....

****- grey/black are for interior light dimmer... white/black still? phone?

This all looks like the stereo wiring to me. Where's this anyway ?

[Ken35i]

Yeah, they're speaker wires. The speaker wires have the wavey twist in them.

[Kibokojoe]

Yep stereo / speakers

the one I want to know about is the black and white one with the blue plug.

awesome again, shogun.

guess i can tie that one off, I don't think my stereo will accept that.

Just for info; GAL = German for
Geschwindigkeits Abhaengige Lautstaerkenregulierung
= sound / loudness adjustment depending on speed

[632 Regal]

the radio even has speed sensors? wtf?

[shogun]

standard in Europe. For example when you drive high speed on the autobahn in Germany, the radio gets the speed signal and automatically adjusts the loudness to higher volume.
The radio does not have a speed sensor of course, it just gets the speed signal.
Also works on the navi system

Geschwindigkeitsabhängige Lautstärkeanpassung

Bei der geschwindigkeitsabhängigen Lautstärkeanpassung (Abkürzung GALA auch GAL, englisch auch Speed Dependent Volume Control (SDVC), Speed-sensitive Volume Control (SVC), oder Speed Compensated Volume (SCV)) handelt es sich um eine Komfortfunktion bei der Audiowiedergabe in Kraftfahrzeugen. Dabei wird die Lautstärke abhängig von der Fahrgeschwindigkeit angepasst. Eine derartige Anpassung kann für Autoradio, CD-Spieler und das Navigationssystem erfolgen. Ziel ist es, dass die Fahrzeuginsassen in Differenz zu den Fahrgeräuschen immer die gleiche Lautstärke empfinden.
