Title: Anyone in the Midlands know how to fit Stereo's?
Post by: big al on July 28, 2009, 10:09:35 pm
Hi all, I have a Pioneer stereo that I bought off the bay, none of the car shops, (ie Halfrauds) will fit it as its not one of there parts, and there aren't a lot of other places I know of.
I live in Wolverhampton, is there anyone around who would be able to give me a hand fitting it? I know Greenhouse is Solihull way, anyone else want to have a go?
(hope this isnt too random, and that someone can help) Ta. :happy2:

I take it it's for a mk5 golf? It's not difficult, just timeconsuming. Put it this way, I've put a jvc headunit into a fiesta and an rns510 into a gti. If I can do it, anyone can.

Here's the removal guide clicky (http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3121070) and I'm sure others can help with aftermarket hu installs.

Do you have all the cables and the correct Quadlock adapter?

Gave in and got it fitted by Bass junkies, not cheap, and quite gutted about 2 things...
1) THe ipod wire doesnt run from the rear of the stereo so I have a garish white usb at the front,
2) Bought it from America as it was £100 cheaper, but this gives 2 problems, the rear connector was different, costing me an extra £45, and the DVD player is obviously region 1, only plus side is that im never going to watch dvds on it, but still like to have the option!
