Aftermarket HU installation...

[CrippsCorner]

Right after deciding the standard radio is crap lol, I think it's time to get my ICE put in. Anything I should know? Is the standard unit easy to get out, how do I do it?

Do I need to do any drilling to get through to the engine bay? Had to on 206 through the glovebox (though personally I bodged it down the wing!)

I really should get some more wiring as mines a bit knackered but I wanna get sorted what I need to do later today :approve:

the standard head unit is easy to get out you just need some din keys

Get it done mate its easy, you can buy the removal keys from halfrauds at the ripoff price of about £5.

I fitted all my own, Kenwood 7" monitor/dvd player in-dash, infinity components front and rear and an infinty 1000w sub up the rear. Sounds sweeeeet

Okay couldnt find my prongs so bodged it out with some wire i bent into shape :approve: I seem have to have lost my connectors with the Alpine unit so have chucked in the Pana atm... anyone got the steering wheel controls to work with an aftermarket hu? I bought some connectors for that usage on my 206 which cost me about £15 and didn't work!

Yea you can get them, try ebay and the usual places. They are different for different hu manufacturers i think. I didnt bother

Do you if it possible to retain the volume/speed adjustment aspect? I thought it was a cool feature, never had that before, bit annoyed to loose it tbh!
