Thinking of a new headunit.

Post by v6phil »

Is it easy to change the headunits over, as I've never had a built in stereo before. Also, am I gonna need some sort of adapter plate to fill the hole where the original stereo is? It all works perfectly, but I just want to put my mp3/dvd player in.

What's your car? Generally not a problem on Peugeots but you may run into obstacles trying to inteface the HU to the stalk control.

Also, may be an issue if you have a factory JBL amp in place (needs rewiring).

Yes mate you will need an adaptor plate (about a tenner ish) and if you want stalk control to work (as long as ytour new head unit has the facility) are about £30.

Fairly straight forward fit as there is quite a bit of room behind the standard radio to fit the extra wiring. But like said the only problem comes if you got the JBL amp
