Hello.

I have brought an Alpine head-unit and I kept on reading or hearing stuff about a 'Harness Adapter', so what is that all about? Would I need one for my Polo 9N, which has a s**t 'Beta' radio in it, which I can't wait to get rid off. I've already brought the removing keys from eBay for Â£2!

What a bargain, I think anyway.

Any help or tips welcome, and thanks.

I've installed a new CDA-9835R a few months ago in my 9N. At the time I have no problems and I haven't used any adapter. Mine was installed by a professional so I don't really know if he changed something.

Aha well I'm jus gonna go down to my local retail shop which sells these ICE thingies and see what he has to say!

Well "apparently" I don't need a harness adapter for the Polo 9N and the latest Alpine head-units 'cos they used the same ISO standard plugs - apparently. Bit too dark right now to confirm this.

Has anybody else got an Alpine head-unit installed?
