Default Pain in the.....

Rain put paid to some work in the garden so thought I'd get started on putting the new unit in Willy.

Slowly does it and out comes the Sony single din bluetooth unit. Looks at the connectors and at first sight they look the same, but in fact they are almost mirror images…aaarrrggghhh.

So looks like I’ll be cutting off the existing (Sony) connector and then use connector blocks to pair with the new unit connector. That probably explains why the new connector has open wires at the other end….

Some good news though looks like I may have a Connects2 steering wheel stalks control unit though can’t be sure which one it is as I can’t match the numbers/codes on the back of it to Connects2 website. I’ve dropped them an email to see what advice they can give.

And there I was thinking this was going to be a relatively simple instal….how wrong was I…hey ho...
