This thread kinda got me started to think the £400 they want to install a parrot system is a ripoff when I can get a decent stereo for the same price.

Was it tricky to get the wire to the mic and GPS wired ? Looks pretty straight forward on the pics...

I was thinking about the parrot kit too, but the price difference to a decent double din head unit isn't much - and the sound quality difference will be noticeable i think.

having an iPhone4, i didn't go for the navi one, because with the optional iphone video in cable i will be able to make navigon iphone app to show on the 7''
 
Which model ibiza do you have?

Im looking at a Pioneer unit. Which comes with a mic and GPS anntena. But Ive got no where to out them. I definatly dont have the same unit you have in the headlining. I dont even have the same shape rear view mirror!

Looks great though! How did you know which colour facia to choose?
 
Ive just realised that all of your trim is black! All of my trim is black except the headlining, pillars and sun visors etc. This has got me thinking!

Which unit are looking at and how much? I mainly want sat nav and be able to watch dvds :)
 
I like the design, and I had a Pioneer in my last car. Couldnt fault it! I dont really like any of the others interms of butttons and OS that they use.
 
Does the AUX port next to the gear stick still work mate? I'm gonna get get something like this I think, cos they messed me about when I bought my car & told me I'd have USB, blah blah blah. lol.
 
Just a little update on this.

The connects 2 fasia adapter never quite fitted right. It fitted into the recess at the top but, at the bottom, it was a good few mm to big.

Here is how it looked. Tbh, it doesn't look that bad in the photo but anyone that has one of these will know they just don't fit. (maybe they have been updated now)

I cut off most of the excess with a Dremel and then some sand paper on a block to fine tune it. I applied some of the 3M gloss carbon fibre wrap to finish it off.

I know other people have done this already but I just thought I would show you what it looks like with the JVC unit.
 
Looks sweet, don't think my facia requires trimming with my new unit but wanna wrap it. How much of the vinyl did you buy? Any problems applying it??
 
Bit of a thread revival here!

I am about to attempt to install my single din head unit into my newly purchased mk5 Ibiza this weekend, it comes with the stalk adaptor for the steering wheel controls like yours but I notice the adaptor has 3 slots to attach wires to crimp together. I have no idea what attaches to them, I haven't pulled my standard head unit out yet so it may become clear, but the fixing kit I purchased has no wiring guide so I was hoping you could offer some advice?
