Just a query to anyone with similar experience.

I recently got to the point that the crummy AM/FM Cassette that the last owner
threw into my Vanagon's dash is just getting to me...

Didn't work...found that the ground was faulty in its' harness...then found the
fancy Pioneer speakers he put in the doors had the cones rotted out...real
nasty sounding.  Then I tried a tape and got a slow drone to a stop...managed
to get my tape back out though.

Needless to say I removed the radio and speakers...found that he had used a
power wire from off the headlight switch that was always hot through a fuse to
the radio.  He had hacked the wires to the lighter for a double power outlet
installed near my right knee.  He told me it was for his phone and credit card
machine.  The hot and ground from the lighter seem to be pretty obvious and
blow fuse #8 when shorted.  I've got a couple extra brown wires he was using
for speaker grounds, etc. but think I can put things back in some sort of
order.

Does anyone know if VW includes the wires for a radio even if it didn't come
with one originally.  I'd like to track down a fused connector for a new radio
if there is one.
