be ghetto and do it all yourself. relay new wiring from your own power source and earth, your own ariel and speaker wire. you can do it. be a man! lol

what he said ^^^, just by a new loom adapter thingy from halfords think there jus over 10pounds, but you dont need an adapter for the aerial, its long enough to reach if you put it under the steering wheel.

well i took out standard headunit, wired up the parrot one, and it works all fine, but obviously once new one is pluged in i cant control the standard dash din, would i just need to connect the 3 wires from the new loom? as this is what i have been told, i cant find the guide either just a bit of help needed...

thanks guys

could i not just cut the new loom, follow where each cable would be plugged into on the main loom then soldering each cable (13 in total) ......... i need pics or some kind of guide soon lol im getting ****ed off lol

Get a y lead for the power loom, job done

 

[will_ainsworth]

im a total noob when it comes to electrics, could you please explain and clarify, im guessing there is a cable available with the two (iso is it?) blocks? one for oem and one for aftermarket? where can i get this from?

keep your standard one all plugged in

cut the perm live, ignition live, and earth, connection block them together but join the new headunit wiring into them aswell

wire all speaker wires to new headunit (no need for them to be connected to standard one anymore)


Job done

Or use this theory

 

[mr_D]

defo use that theory. that way you can always use your old stereo without messing around putting the wires back together.

[45_CB]
