Rover Studio 2 - Installing New Stereo

Hi Everyone,

Great forum - looking forward to spending lots of time on it giving / getting tips about all things Mini.

I've just got my 1991 Mini Studio 2 back up and running after 4 years off the road. Drives beautifully again, and running well.

Just trying to get a stereo installed so I can enjoy long journeys, but I've run into a bit of trouble.

Instead of the normal 2 ISO connectors (1 for speakers etc, 1 for power etc), there seems to be just one, and I didn't install / take out the last stereo that was in it.

All I see is this:

The only thing I can find that might be leading somewhere (but would need an ISO connector) is this female connector, underneath the steering wheel.

Any ideas? I'd love some help with this :)

Thanks so much!

Haven't come accross that plug before but it looks like the right one for the radio
Black- negitive
Light green - ignition positive
Purple- perminent positive
Red/Green- Lighting

I haven't come across the Red/green before but Red cable is generally used for lighting circuit, check it before connecting it if your radio has a lighting connection.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies!

It'd be cool to know what connector / adaptor might be needed, because, yes, it's looking like the connection under the steering wheel might be it.

Thanks again :)
