Wes Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi, Having considered what feels like every head unit on the market, I have decided to go for a JVC to replace the Bose. I have never installed anything like this before, but having the forum gives me enough confidence to give it a go. That's probably a bad thing but hey I have had a search through previous posts and think I have worked out what I need, but I would appreciate someone giving my list the once over before I order it all. I have a 2007 facelift - I understand that makes a difference when choosing components. JVC KW-AVX830 Head Unit: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jvc-kwavx830.html iPod Connector: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/jvc-ksu30.html Fascia: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... ts_id=7873 Adapter: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... ts_id=7879 Steering Wheel Adapter Part 1: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product ... ts_id=7875 Steering Wheel Adapter Part 2: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/incarte ... aptor.html Am I right in thinking I don't need an aerial converter with the JVC head unit? So fire away, what have I got wrong or missed? Cheers, Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi, Just had a PM conversation with Kev (busa1300) who has put me straight and even offered to help me put it in if I have trouble, so I think I am sorted already. Thanks again Kev! Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazhull8474 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I was lucky enough that mine came with one as there would be no chance that i would try an install but once its done im sure you will be happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo-R Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Very easy to do esp with the JVC unit. Giving that if I had to do it again i reckon i could do it sub 2hours! Zugara if you are really stuck and need a hand let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know milton keynes is a bit of a trek from hampshire but a spirited drive on the A34 to MK its quite a nice drive! I went to four marks last year to pick a car up! OR guidance over the phone if you brave enough to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 Cheers Zugara, I was going to do the same and document it, but am more than happy for you to lead the way Even if it is hard work, I think there are definitely benefits to us doing it ourselves as there may be other stuff we want to add etc. If the next topic you post is asking about dashboard repairs I will know it hasn't gone well.
