Thought ill add an i-pod lead to. For now it sits in the glove box screen controls all funtions on i-pod so no need to see it.

nice job mate![]

one question. did you screw the navi box to the floor??

 

[derekh]

Hi,

Nice and looks good ... by the way ... does the kenwood unit have ISO standard connection? I am using the CAN-Bus adaptor and wonder whether does it fit? Any chance you could attach the rear connection diagram from the installation manual?

Thanks,

 

[silentandy]

Fantastic! Your pics have made my mind up, that's what I'll be going for too!

Did you fit this yourself or did someone do it for you?

If you did it yourself was it easy to run the power through the bulkhead?

Where are the wires routed for the navi box to the head unit, is that easy?

 

[JMcQueen]

Yeah, Im in the process of building my system now too and plan on using the same kenwood unit but without the sat nav as i dont need it. Any chance of getting some night pics to see how the illumination blends in with the switch lights etc?

 

[James sr]

nope just a bit of velco done the trick hasnt seem to moved.

 

[James sr]

hi yes the head unit is standard iso so fitted is really easy, with the nav just have to hard wire a few wires. not to godd at posting best of going to www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk then the support page all the manauls are on there to download.

 

[James sr]

i had the help of Sextons (well they did most of it i just made the tea) in Southampton, they really know there stuff down there, they currently have a mk5 GTI in bits as going to be there new demo car.geting the power cable through wasnt to tricky. as for nav cable just cable tired up and hidden behind glove box.

 

[James sr]

will try and get some night pics soon every time i go and try it to light or forget camrea

Cheers

Sarah

 

[James sr]

up graded the whole lot new front and rear door speakers and 12" sub

 

[tdi_140]

nope just a bit of velco done the trick hasnt seem to moved.

great!! []

I was thinking also to use velcro to fix a cd changer that I will receive in a week, but I wasn't sure if it would work.

 

[Chuck-UK]

Anyone know where you can get this double din adaptor, all the ones i have seen have two individual slots.

 

[dan31]

Looks great, can you tell me what product you used to get the steering wheel controls working. My pioneer double din only controls volume, not track/seek.

 

[James sr]

If any one is looking at changing the stereo in there MK5 Golf and have the option of steering controls, Kenwood Produce a lead that will enable these to work with all compatible Kenwood units. The part number for this unit is CAW-VW1280 and should be available from all Kenwood dealers as a Kenwood spare part.

as far as i am aware it does track volume etc

Excellent install. Just how did you manage to get the power cable in through the bulk head. I am presuming you have wired from the battery ??

Regards

Sid

 

[James sr]

Hi yes the silver looking wire is the power cable from the battery to power the amps. this picture is taken from behind the glovebox so this will need to come out.(when you take out the glovebox and disconect the airbag do not turn on the ignition or air bag light will come on dealer reset)

From inside the engine bay i lifted the plastic trim under the windscreen wipers and there was a small gromet i opened it up and fed the power cable trhough.i must add this was not the easiest of cars to get the power cable through...

Hi

I just had a Kenwood Double Din/SatNav/DVD/CD/Radio fitted with JL Audio door speakers and a PPL amp in the boot under a false floor with a bass tube and it's great! Only thing that I didn't really like was the little nav box on my dash but got used to it now, and the nav box is up in the dash so not to easy to update but shoudn't need to do to often? I got the ipod lead added too, it's in the little cubby box under the stearing wheel so it kinda make's up for no 6 disc []

 

[James sr]

HI there good choice.
