Title: Stereo fitment?
Post by: VDubDave on 22 August 2006, 10:31

I've just ordered a Pioneer DEH-P2600R CD Head unit for my MK3 Golf :smiley:. Are the head unit connectors universal or am I going to need Pioneer-MK3 Golf connectors?

If so, I'll go and get some before the Pioneer DEH-P2600R CD Head unit arrives. :wink:

Cheers,
Dave

The pioneer will come with a pioneer-ISO adapater. The golf is an ISO connection, but the permanent and ignition feeds are the wrong way round.

With the lead supplied with the headunit, I expect there'll be a simple way to swap these (red and yellow wires). Alternatively, some headunits can do this by moving the fuse on the back of the unit. The instructions should explain all...

Dom Mk3,

Cheers for your reply. I'll be sure to check all the wiring before I install, especially the permanent and ignition feeds. Many thanks for the warning.

Cheers,
Dave
