Fitting new headunit.....

[Hursty]

Rite going to be stripping out my headunit and replacing it with a pioneer single din touch screen sat nav

Ive been looking round the ICE part of the forum and was trying to build up a list of things i will need. So far i think i need...

- Facia adapter, but the few i have found say 2004 onwards (mines a 2003 UK GT)

- steering wheel controls connection - but unsure where to buy this...

- Something to go inbetween to keep the Bose amps etc workin.

 

Is there anything else before i start; also will i loose any functionality by taking the standard stereo out; phone etc....?

 

Thanks

I think you will lose the phone.

 

You need to buy a PAC-ROEM kit, A Micra speaker harness, Fascia Adaptor, Aerial Adaptor (may not be needed).

 

You can buy another PAC kit for the steering wheel controls.

 

Both PAC kits can be found on ebay.com

When you say loose the phone do you mean the whole integrated phone kit or just the facility to answer it on the steering wheel?

I believe it's the whole phone kit. The phone capabilities are in the Bose headunit. It's not a Parrot style freestanding system.

Grrrrrrrrr:rant: Thats annoying as im onlying changing the headunit so that i am able to play my Ipod in the car!!! But the phone is a usefull bit of kit and just shelled £95 out on a Bluetooth adapter!
