Halfords head unit fitting

[harper1]

If Halfords fit your cd player which you buy there do they rig it up to the stalk controls etc aswell? no extra charge.

the fitting is £40 which i would never even think about but some head units have halfprice fitting or free fitting so it would be worth thinking about in that case

 

[sneeks]

Be sure and factor in the obligatory adapter leads etc that they insist you'll need Before you know it you'll have paid far more than you intended.

Going into your clio?

pull old out, unplug, push new one in, PLINK!

what make stereo you sticking in...sony?

to have the display and stalk working with aftermarket headunit will cost you £35 in parts alone and no doubt they will charge fitting (even though its a small job). they will also tell you, you need an aerial adapter (which you will) about £5 from halfords...£2 of ebay.

really easy to fit a headunit yourself..i wouldnt pay halfords to do it tbh

 

[harper1]

yeah i was just wondering if say for half price fitting that would include the adapter leads and stuff which are 30 quid anyways.

im looking at this kenwood unit... its plain and simple but has mp3 cd support and a input so i can use the ipod

anyone help me then what else do i need to buy, i will be fitting it myself

sonys come with aerial adapters, i think kenwood ones do too!!

 

[mintsauce5]

there are alot cheaper places than halfords for the head unit as well

 

[Shindig]

also fitting it yourself is all part of the fun!

 

[beatjunkie]

its a 10minute job!so id internet it then fit it yourself, only 3 things to unplug and plug back in!!!!

 

[MT AUDIO]

i dont charge to fit the steering wheel controls unless it means the dash top comes off on the clio

 

[harper1]

do i need to take the dash off ?

 

[MT AUDIO]

if you buy the autoleads one yes,if you buy an mes one or an incartec one then itll plug straight in

 

[harper1]

thanks

 

[Russ.]

pretty sure autoleads one just plugs intbh, its pretty similar to incartec system although by all accounts not as good.

incartec from car audio direct is highly regarded tbh

 

[mintsauce5]

just a quick question , does anyone know what you get on the remote display with the incartec ones ? for example do you get the radio station names as you do with the standard head unit ? :dapprove:

 

[Russ.]

nope you dont unless you have a sony radio, but even then you have to buy a sony lead which if i remember right is about £100.

Otherwise on the incartec ones it just says your headunit make eg kenwood, jvc etc normally and then when you use the stalk it will say vol up if turning vol up etc

Im ready to checkout at caraudiodirect...

Got Kenwood KDC-W3537A
InCarTec Kenwood Adaptor
Aerial adaptor
ICT 29-652 steering/stalk control adaptor

Do I need anything else? Do I need to buy this...
ISO multifit wiring adaptor

or not? Is that what the incartec kenwood adapter is?


Also I need a short aux cable for ipod to head unit. Only want it to be like 10-15 cm anyone know anywhere good to get one? Cheers!

 

[Russ.]

all that looks spot on mate. you dont need "ISO multifit wiring adaptor" as your cars wiring is already wired to iso standard so should be a straight swap with the kenwood.

as for a short aux cable do you mean one with a headphone adapter on one end and red/white rca at the other end? if so try maplins/woolworths or ebay.

dont forget to enter the free postage code i provided for car audio direct, you enter it in the promotional code box when ordering.
