help to wire in an iso kenwood stereo

Post by Neil »

Hi Just bought a second hand kenwood cassette which has the iso wiring thing. It's new to me so has anyone any suggestions on how to connect it up?

It hasn't actually arrived yet so I'm not 100% sure if the harness is with it. Are there adapters available?

Any advice gratefully received

Cheers Neil

Make sure you got he radio code for your HU before removing it as you may wish to put the original back in if or when you sell it later on.

The ISO adapter will allow for you to connect your VW original stereo wiring (usually 2 clips) and plug in the 3rd party stereo. The actual ISO Adapter is sort of Y shape split connector.

These can be picked up from any local car audio retailer or website > all you need to know is which brand of HU your going to be using (in your case kenwood) and brand, model n year of vehicle

I can recommend this place if you need to buy an ISO adapter
