Help a numpty connect his stereo... Please!

Hi,
I've just purchased a 2nd hand radio cassette player (Volkswagen Beta), no wiring instructions, I've got an ISO connection already in my car, but before I plug it in a blow something up, I wanted to check the wiring is the same. There's a sticker on the top of the unit showing the connections.
The speaker connections are obvious, plus negative & 2x live (constant and switched (don't know which is which!)). Can anyone clarify what the other connections are? Guessing that the sun symbol is for illumination, not sure what S, K or Gala are. Is the speaker symbol for mute?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Gala is the speed sensing wire, provides speed sensitive volume control.

K-line is a diagnostic line, allows code to be sent from ECU to radio direct etc.

Not sure on S... be aware that VW have perm and ign controlled + the *opposite* way round to the "norm".

How old is the car the radio came out of? It may have can bus...meaning no ignition feed will work it (it wont work in a non vw) also do you have the correct code? as this is normally gained through the cars wiring...
