Installing aftermarket stereo into GU

Post by BundyRumandCoke »

So, like others I reckon the cassette player is pretty pointless so I have decided to replace it with some sort of aftermarket unit, and fit my UHF into the space below the head unit.
But as its a lease vehicle, I need to be able to undo any mods I do for when I dispose of the vehicle. Basically that means I would prefer not to do any cutting of wires.
I have seen the aftermarket wiring looms for connecting a stereo to the standard vehicle wiring loom. But I run up against a brick wall at the local Autobarn when it came to the correct loom to get.
Anyone got an idea what is the correct part number, and a place that sells them. I am aware of the adaptor I need for the antenna. It will probably be a Clarion stereo that I get. And its going into a 2005 GU Patrol.
Or worse case, can someone ID the different wires on the standard loom?

And yes, I have searched, both here and elsewhere.

G'day

You dont need to cut any wires, realy if the autobarn guys dont know how to install a head unit then they have absolutely no idea. I would go and ask another company for advice. I connected my wiring directly to the loom, no big deal, you can buy joiners wich crimp down on the wires, no cutting, required, very little damage to the wire when removed, and bobs not my uncle.

If it is a double din, you may have to drill a hole to support the back of the unit housing, I dont think this will be a problem as you wont see it, if its a single din unit, you will require a single pocket wich can be brought from any decent auto store, tiz a little more mucking around, but its pretty easy at the end of the day.

I dont think you will have any problems at all, just need to ask a better stereo tech.

regards

Casey
