The lead comes with most new stereo's as the leon already has ISO connectors.

The aerial booster is only needed for medium/long wave, not FM (unless you live in a poor transmition area)

some of them plug straight in others you have to change the red and yellow wire over, its the swithced and permanent live that are different on the seat loom to what my cd player uses hence the reason why the conversion lead was needed, as for the radio booster i dont actually use it as i have a usb stick and an sd card with all my music on and just listen to that

yeh its lowered in the pics but it has settled a bit more, pics were taken the day after i got it lowered. the wheels cost me £280 for a full refurbish at my local powdercoat place that included the kerbing being built up with liquid metal and reshaped if i was going for a more standard silver it would have only cost about £200 :D:D
