Wes Posted July 10, 2010 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
Wes Posted July 10, 2010 Author 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
Zugara Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Thinking of doing the same.... I see flames and smoke.... Quote
gazhull8474 Posted July 10, 2010 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
Gizmo-R Posted July 10, 2010 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

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
Wes Posted July 10, 2010 Author Posted July 10, 2010 It sounds like there are enough of you that have done this already to offer Zugara and me a telephone help line Quote
Gizmo-R Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Yes I believe there is viewtopic.php?f=27&t=38390 Quote
Zugara Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Ok chaps gonna be brave and get a jvc touch screen and have a go! Gizmo please be on stand by!!! Wes I will try & do a detailed photo shoot/report and help you if i succeed..... Quote
Wes Posted July 11, 2010 Author 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.
