There's an "active check control" on this car that lights up warning light if you have brake,rear,licence or head lights out and also checks the washer, coolant & oil levels. This is something to do with that system, I'm not exactly sure what.MT-Getto wrote:What does the diode pack do?

Thanks, it's nice to have some reassurance that I'm not smoking too much crackRennwagen1 wrote:Without seeing it firsthand, I think the Peripheral piece that came out of the dash was a common ground adapter. a lot of older German cars has "common grond" stereos and/or amplifiers. Aftermarket decks are not set up for common grounding, and the don't like it. Some Pioneer decks won"t even put out sound, as the deck thinks it has a speaker grounding out, which it does. And not everything in the Bible it true. I have been a 12V installer for nearly 15 years, and I always start RCA runs from the front. Always easier to hide the excess in the rear, and it keeps your sub dash much cleaner, just make sure you have a little slack, incase you have to pull the deck for some reason......
It looks good! Gotta love a clean install!
