Well it fits and everything using a cage and fascia i ordered onlind but i tested it by the person and it was working fine but now the stereo screen light has died so going to visit the seller again soon to see if he can do anything 😔

Sounds great. Hope you sort this screen thing out pal!

Ah what are the chances of that happening. It worked at the persons house as well you said. Gutted for ya! 

Mines a Pioneer AVH X3800 DAB+ 

Looks abit like yours in the picture. The ones I really wanted, it was the warranty of them. Any faults and it's shipped to China!!!!! I'm not doing that. Not paying over £300 +. In the small print to it says tax cost sometimes. Nah. 

Let's hope we both have good ones👍

I've been wanting to add a new head unit, just takes a lot of time trying to figure out which leads to buy and how to connect it. Let us know how it goes, also where did you get the fascia?

I know what you mean. It's a mine field! In my last car an Impreza, the Exhaust sounded that good I never hardly had the radio on ha. How things change! 

Will do. Got the facia off eBay for £12. Should fit, looks the same as the others. 

[RazzerRazor]

Guess what.....head unit has arrived already. Unboxed it just to make sure it's all there etc. It looks new, even though it isn't so I'm pleased about that. More wires than expected! But I'm hoping the iso connector when that turns up should solve alot of that. Here's afew pictures

Its actually decent ill post pictures and everything you need tonight. 

 

Good thing is its all plug and play so no ignition wires or anything needed 👍🏻

[RazzerRazor]

I hope it is plug n play. All the YouTube vids shows people installing them connecting all the wires up one by one! 

These are what I've ordered

[RazzerRazor]

More good news now. My friend can fit the Backbox Saturday👌👍 another thing off the list

[sohail-94]

All the listings say they have been removed 🤔

So its the cage i got in the picture

The ISO wiring 

And if you got stereo controls its the Connects2 device which just goes on them. 

I believe the Connect2 device acts as a ISO so if your getting that you don't need the other one. 

They all work out cheaper seperate. 

 

Just take out old stereo and take off the airvent surround off Factory Stereo (Just a couple of clips to lift with a flat screwdriver)

 

The plastic cage has screw holes into the fascia so screw it in and the attach to the stereo, this then screws on using the 10mm bolts. Before pusing all the way in the stereo stick the Air Vents into place which also clip onto the fascia. Then you just have to put it all back together.

 

Any questions just ask :)

Will get a pic up tomorrow as was too dark tonight

lets hope it's as straight forward as you put it ha.

Thanks for that. Sounds a lot easier your way

[sohail-94]

Ahh yes the video was just a little one I created of the stereo turning on but will get a picture up in the morning. 

Hardest part for me was holding the wires back to get the stereo in to be honest. 

They keep getting trapped and not letting the stereo sit in place but as soon as u align the holes and put the bolts in your good to go

Ah got ya. No worries fella. Really! I've had the original out a few times doing all my dash work but the wires are all neat and tidy. Hoping to do it Saturday afternoon if the parts turn up.

I paid £80 for the stereo was new just owner didn't want it usually 155 at Halfords, found it on Schpock app so shopping around really helps as I bought one for £125 but it didn't work properly when I fitted it  

cage is around £13-15

Wiring if you want steering controls its £19.99 and without its under £5. 

So all in all i would say for around 100-120 you can get a decent set-up. 

Depends if you want the full lot or are happy to compromise. 

My stereo does not have a CD player or Sat Nav but I hardly use a CD as I can use a USB instead and Sat Nav on stereos is always playing around so I just use my phone. 

If you want the full works on a decent stereo you are looking around £300 new

 

Next plans for me are Reverse Camera ( will have to be numberplate holder with camera attached as difficult to find a place to mount just a camera) & to add steering controls but these are minor things which can wait. 

Will be tinting my side repeaters to a smokey colour so they look more in line with the car colour
