Will require stereo fitting kit specific to your vehicle. Refer to the installation section for further details
If you are unsure about the suitability of this product please contact us via the ask a question link at the top of this page or telephone us and we will gladly assist you.
To complete the installation you will require a radio wiring lead. This adaptor lead is required to replace a factory fitted in car radio with an aftermarket audio headunit (eg. Parrot ASTEROID, Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, JVC etc.). It will convert the car's original power and speaker wiring connector to a standard ISO connector. Simply plug one end of the adaptor into your car's wiring harness and the other end into your new in car AV system, without the need for tools or cutting of wires. Refer to our fitting accessory section to purchase your car specific lead. Parrot products are all designed so that there is no need to cut any cables as long as you use an in-car radio wiring harness.
