New stereo....

[bpmjames]

But what else do I need to make it fit in the car? Sorry for the boon question guys. All I have is the stereo, iso lead and iPod leads etc. Do I need a shroud? Wiring? Here's a pic.

 

 

Thanks

Jim

Second Sticky at the top of the forum tells you all you need to know.

[bpmjames]

Ill have a read, sorry for wasting your time, and thanks mate

[Ekona]

No probs, put some pics up when it's all fitted

[bpmjames]

I think the links in that thread are dead and looks like sextons website is down?

I was considering the Appradio. Are you running an iPhone with it?

[mattross1313]

A colleague of mine was telling me about the AppRadio2 this week. It looks like a good bit of kit - I'd be interested to know what you think when you get it fitted.

Try here http://incartec.co.uk/Manufacturer/Model/Brand/Device/Radio/Browser.aspx

I like those too and almost bought one a few weeks ago on the offer they had, but I don't want to loose the in-car Bluetooth (no-matter how annoying- that woman can be sometimes..)

+1 for Incartec

Excellent website that makes getting the required 'bits' really simple.

Did tou have to buy a bezel like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140934346637?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 in order to get it to fit nicely in the space left by the Bose?

[bpmjames]

I have the stereo fitted loosely at the moment while i wait for my surround to turn up from incar, theres not a lot of space for wiring behind the stereo is there?!

Also guys i need to splice into the handbrake on the live side for my stereo to work correctly but can i just splice into and switched live?

But, does it need the additional surround to fill the gap around the edge?

[Fluke]

Just bought one from Amazon. £150.

Is that to watch video on the go? I never bothered but I would imagine that would do it

[EvansJD2112]

Just splice it onto a ground cable. It's a switched ground, not live, that you need.

 

Did it on mine because I couldn't be bothered routing it properly rather than watching video on the move.

 

 

[bpmjames]

Evans the manual for the stereo says live side so ill gov the earth a go and see what happens

IIRC it is indeed a live on that stereo. I planned to buy one and wired up a relay so the stereo itself (on the 12v) would provide power to the handbrake wire.

 

I had to use a relay as on some models Pioneer tried to defeat the method above by refusing to work at all if a 12v signal was detected before the main unit was powered on. if you do have to go this route theres plenty online about it. Just needs a standard relay and 4-5 wires.

I was thinking about just splicing into the power for the aerial booster.

Out of interest where are you placing the GPS antenna?

 

I dont suppose you'd fancy doing a write up on your install with a few pictures?
