Exclamation HELP! 82 300SD Radio Circuit FUBAR

I have a 82 300SD with a Kenwood head unit installed by the previous owner. Only issue is whoever that installed it mucked up everything. The radio memory intermittently worked when I first got the car, now it doesn't work at all.

Armed with the color codes Hit Man X has posted, I kept my eyes out for the following:
Brown = ground
Black w/ tracer = switched 12v
Red w/ white tracer = constant 12v
Violet = dimmer


What I found was the following:
-No Red wire with white tracer
-No violet wire
-2 Black wires with green/yellow tracer going to ignition wire on the radio
-Brown wire goes to the ground on the radio
-A blue switched +12V wire that was spliced to go to the constant wire on the radio
-And a blue wire spliced from the antenna switch to the antenna control on the radio.

In between some of those, the wire was spliced several times, resulting in a mix of colors.

If anyone can give me some assistance with this, primarily where to find the constant 12v, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Not yet, sadly. Haven't had time to pull some harnesses from the yard (need a shopping list first actually, lots of other various parts that I need)

Where can I get these?

Finally got time to pull the center console and fixed it. Now, anyone know where to get these connectors?



I've contemplated on just using molex connectors from a computer in the car too. Don't know how well that'll go over.

Trying to go back to stock Becker or what?

I have a few stock harnesses if you need, I can't get AIM to work on this machine so PM me or something.
