It will do if you add every available option

Price up a Kenwood or Alpine with the same spec and all the goodies and your looking at over £1000!!

Hiya, I've literally just got in the door mate and I've been unable to email you back.

Pm me with what stereo you currently have in it.

Thanks

I got a few questions regarding the installation:

1. The steering wheel cables are also in the back of the original symphony unit? And where do I have to cut them from in order to solder them to the ones that came with the ISO cable that you provided me for my unit?

2. How can I feed the GPS Antenna up to the windscreen?

3. How can I feed the USB cables to the glove box?

4. How can I connect the illumination cable from the ISO cable provided?

5. What is the P. ANT cable (blue one also coming from the ISO connector) and do I have to connect that to something too?

The steering controls are the Blue/Purple cable on pin 3 and Blue/Orange cable on pin 2 of the grey ISO plug. I think you have to connect an earth to pin 2 on the grey ISO plug, key 1 on the stereo loom goes to pin 3 (Blue/Purple) on the grey ISO plug.

2. How can I feed the GPS Antenna up to the windscreen?

When I do an install, I put the GPS receiver under the drivers side A pillar trim and feed the wire down and under the steering column then back up into the headunit hole (there is a hole just big enough to put your hand in. Very easy to do. Thats the best place to conceal it and get a good GPS lock.

3. How can I feed the USB cables to the glove box?

The glove box doesnt have any holes so you will have to drill / cut some into the side of it if you want to have the USB leads in there. I would extend the USB cable with a USB extension lead and run it to the centre armrest.

4. How can I connect the illumination cable from the ISO cable provided?

This doesnt need to be connected, just leave the CANBUS box plugged into the stereo loom.

5. What is the P. ANT cable (blue one also coming from the ISO connector) and do I have to connect that to something too?

Again this doesnt need to be connected and can be left alone.
Thanks
Jub

Ok so the P.ANT cable can be left alone because of no use, illumination cable doesn't have to be connected too you say right? Then as far as I know, brake cable doesn't have to be connected in my case because I will set the unit to play video from settings whenever I want so I can leave this cable out too right? And there is the reverse cable which I don't have to connect because I don't have a reverse camera, so overall for me, I only have to connect the 2 steering wheel cables and that's it right? Please correct me if I'm wrong

Yup all you need to do is connect the SWC wires up. oh and obviously screw the connector for the GPS receiver to the back of the stereo

Cheers

Ok got it, and regarding the steering wheel cables, I don't really know what you are talking about with earth and stuff as I'm not really into these kind of things, so can you please write a step by step how to on how to properly connect the SWC and how to do regarding the earth and etc, I really have absolutely no idea with electrics lol, I just know how to tape and insulate 2 wires together and that's pretty much it
