So I just got a 2001 volkswegan Beetle 1.8 turbo for my first car and I went to change my radio out with an after market Boss radio so when I got to take it out I realize that I'm gonna have to wire the new adapters that came with it to my wirring harness but when I went to disconnect the factory wiring harness its just all the wires in a black sticky tube then as I try to follow it it goes through my dash down behind my peddles and then when I fill around and find it and then it just has a bracket holding it to the back then it goes somewhere else and I can't find a video to show me what to do ? Anything will help

You shouldn't have to disconnect the factory wiring harness, you should be able to buy an adapter than plugs into the factory wiring harness and into your new radio

Worst comes to worst you can always crimp the old harness on to the new unit, you can pick that stuff up an most hardware stores

you shouldn't be anywhere around the peddles

your radio should of came with a wiring diagram

Also you should have a wiring harness that will plug into your factory radio harness

you wire your radio harness with the wiring harness that goes to your factory wires
