You won't need any other wires, the new headunit will just plug into the car's wiring harness. Will take about 34 seconds to fit.

Regarding the steering wheel controls, you will need:

im now thinking of getting this head unit instead

can i still use the above stalk controls with it?

 

[-Leigh-]

Yeah.

Just double check that the headunits are compatible, although pretty much all are nowadays.

 

[chev1]

lol how do i check? sorry about all the questions im new to all this

 

[-Leigh-]

Must be in the tech specs I'd imagine. I'm not sure.

But you have now made me wonder whether I should spend £80 on getting an ipod adapter for my Renault H/U, or spend a little more and get a ipod compatible H/U and steering wheel adapter. Thanks lol.

I presume getting a new H/U will improve sound quality, but I like the look of OEM H/U and not worry about it being nicked.

lol how do i check? sorry about all the questions im new to all this

just remember this pal... if you buy the leads from halfrauds or car audio direct... this is what you have to do do make the stalks work...

There are better leads you can buy so its just plug and play... for got what the exact make of them are but as i recall there alot deerer than the other ones...

saying that the dash is a piece of p*ss to remove

 

[-Leigh-]

G/f got her leads from CAD and they just plugged in behind the h/u.

What's with removing all the dash top? lol

 

[The Boosh!]

leads from my alpine had to be plugged into the display at the top... plus with the converter box the sub wires and two sets of iso wire looms it came in usefull when cramming all the wires back behind the stereo

i did.. what needed to be done:clown:

 

[-Leigh-]

Worth checking what connections are needed then. Bugger doing all that lol.

 

[The Boosh!]

i wouldn't have bothered if id have known but after spending 40 quid on adapters i didnt want to waste my money... the stalk controls on mine has also changed. it doesn't pause the stereo just mutes it down and you have to move the song scroller the opposite way to go forward :S if that makes sense.

used to it now tho so..

all good :cheers:
