This fitting kit is supplied with a fascia adapter panel suitable for a double din aftermarket radio. The fascia adapter allows the fitting of an aftermarket radio into the dashboard by matching the shape and style of the original radio. The new radio fits into the fascia adapter using the supplied fixing brackets, this means that no additional fitting cage is required.
A plug and play adapter cable to bypass the original DSP amplifier is included.
This adapter cable allows the fitting of an aftermarket stereo upgrade by bypassing the original DSP amplifier in the car. The original amplifier uses a digital data audio signal and therefore cannot be used with an aftermarket radio. The cable bypasses the original amplifier allowing the new radio to play audio directly to the cars speakers.
The original amplifier is located behind the rear left quarter panel in the boot. The amp bypass cable connects to the speaker connectors from the amplifier, it also connects to the quadlock connector from the original tuner module located under the boot floor next to the battery. A 5 metre extension is provided to then extend these audio and power connections to the dashboard.
A Quadlock to ISO adapter cable with steering control interface is supplied in the kit. This cable adapts from the original connector in the car, known as a quadlock, to standard aftermarket connectors for the new stereo, known as ISO connectors. The built in steering control interface will retain the use of the audio control buttons, volume, track skip, source and telephone, on the steering wheel with the new after market radio.
Adapter lead to pair an InCarTec 29-6XX or 29-7XX series stalk control interface to the steering wheel remote input of a Pioneer aftermarket radio upgrade.
This short adapter lead connects the 29- series InCarTec interface box to the steering wheel remote input on the back of a Pioneer radio. The steering remote input on a Pioneer radio is usually labelled "W/R", it is a 3.5mm jack input socket. Suitable for all Pioneer single DIN and double DIN car radio head units.
A Fakra to DIN antenna adapter is included in the kit along with a Fakra to Fakra extension cable. This adapts from the original style antenna connectors in the car, known as Fakra connectors, to a standard aftermarket connector for the new stereo, known as a DIN connector. The Fakra to Fakra extension cable extends the original antenna connector at the tuner module under the boot floor of the car to the front.
