Stereo

Post by firebobby »

I started to change over my seats yesterday, from dirty material to sumptuous leather :D

Now, the stereo is a quite old Kenwood system, the radio on FM only scans from the 800 to 900 range and looses it's tune as you drive around, the CD jumps if you make a right hand turn. So I'm looking to swap it out and I have a single din Sony to fit in, I removed the stereo yesterday and found this lot

Are these the factory connectors

Any advice would be welcome on my options and as I have a double din hole in the dash, is it possible to fit a single din and a cubby hole/storage pocket.

Factory connectors yes. Wiring diagram:

Single Din + adapter/blank/tray/cup holder will fit fine.

You won't need that FM converter with a new head unit.

Cheers Stu, so can I get a plug conversion from the factory plugs to my Sony unit then, or will I have to cut wires. Also the cup holder thing sounds cool, where can I get one from.
Thanks

Sorry firebobby only just seen this, but Chris has answered so all good:).

The latest Tapatalk iphone update seems a bit hit & miss with thread updating:(.
