Looking at wiring diagrams for US models it appears the '89 240 came with only 2 front speakers. The original diagram is in the attachment.

The only radio I can find with two plugs is for the '90 740 base radio (without amplifier). However, this appears to have 1 x 4 pin and 1 x 9 pin plug unless the earth (ground) is not actually on a pin but through the radio body. That diagram is in the attachment.
