1992 190E 2.3
1992 190E 2.3 Audio wiring diagram
When I bought my 190E the owner before me replaced the stock radio with a after market radio, and looks to be professionally wired, but the thing is my front driver and passenger door speakers are not working. There are a few wires that are not connected to the new radio, and I have no idea what they go to.
My question is where can I find a good, well detailed diagram for this?

1992 190E 2.3
One of them is black/yellow with green dots, on the original wiring harness connector (main connector to radio) there are two of them and they both go in to the same connector slot in the original wiring harness connector, and now theres only one thats connected to the new harness connector.
The next one is some weird cingular connectors there are two of these, one set is brown/red (black cingular connector) the other is grey/yellow (white cingular connector). I think these go to the stock Amp, I dont know, they do have power to them when the Ign. is on.

1993 190E 2.6
Found the answer to my own question. Unlike some I like to share. That black green and blackyellow wire that are soldered together into a single point is the power wire when your key is in the on position. That confused me the most and one I hooked that up to the right wire...bam...everything came alive and it sounds great. thanks again to MTI for responding to my question and also everyone elses on the subject of radio installs. Feel free to PM me if anyone has questions with respect to the newer 190E systems with the active bass system in them from 1991-1993- 6 speakers.

92' Mercedes 190e radio wiring diagram? Does any have any idea?
I'm trying to install a new radio,the previous owner just cut all the cables and plug how ever they wanted and found the mess up radio they installed and I could just follow what they did but the speakers on the doors don't work, I know those one goes with the bass amp but I only have a bunch of cables by the dash with not much sense.
I would appreciate any help or wiring diagram for a 92 year since I already check previous models and it seems to have some differences.
Thanks.

Ill give my two cents:
I had a few problems while intalling my aftermarket radio. I actually ran all new speaker wires in the car, and used the factory power aplications. Running the rear wires was simple, as well as running RCA cables. Theres actually spot to run wires underneath the floor mat on the driver's side. Theres also factory holes into the trunk behind the back seats.
