VY GTO radio Harness

[Swinghammer]

Hi
Been searching and haven't come up with anything in Aussie.:bang:

I read over at the ls1.com forum that in the USA they use a VW harnes to plug straight into the Pontiac GTO harnes.

I am wanting to install maybe a Kenwood DD unit to replace the factory unit.

I don't want to butcher the cars radio harnes and it would still enable me to put the factory HU easily back in if I sell the car .

Here is a link to the VW harness

It is the one that plugs into the car Harness. and the aerial adapter

Also where would I find one of these units in Aussie
http://www.pac-audio.com/products/productsCatagory.asp?mmSearch=Steering%20Wheel%20Interface
They are direct wired into the car and are not a IR unit, so I would think that they don't have a delay like the IR units

Sorry for the long post but I have searched Jaycar and Ryda and various other sites but I cant find these things available in aussie.

Any help would be greatly appreciated please

most places will fit after market radio for tyou and they will leave your factory plug in there so you can repleace factory h/u when ya go to sell it
tell them to leave th plug incase you pick a dodgy place

Thanks for the reply Daron.

I have spoken to a few places and some said they cut the plug off and some said they slice into behind the plug.

Was really after a plug and play type op with the VW style adapter
So very little has to be spliced into the factory harnes

 

[imnothereanymore]

splicing is fine it wont hurt anything
90% cars have it down
ive been fitting for years and never had a problem
some plugs end up costing more than a standard install
also that pocket setup is aval in australia for 20 bux
most places sell them these days
its vy/vz pocket fits them all
ring round if ya need extra info throw me a pm

I found the Dist of PAC products in Australia and sent them a email, Just waiting for a reply from them.

Last resort is a bloke in the USA can get me one and send it to me bud is a little $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I have used Aeropro plugs in a couple installs and they work great. You will need an adaptor for the radio aerial as well.

Those PAC SWI-ALP units are for sale on eBay all the time. I understand that there's a Stinger unit that does the same job too, which is sold at JB HiFi.

Thanks for your help Guys

So far I can get all the wiring harnes adapters

But I still can't get the Steering wheel adapter.

I have spoken to the Distributor of PAC products in australia ( Stinger).
And at present All the PAC SWI-ALP are the old revision ones and will only fit Alpine units.

The new 1.41 revision of the PAC SWI-ALP is not available in Australia yet. Stinger has a IR unit but there is a delay in the controls sensing.

The new revision 1.41 PAC SWI-ALP will suit ALP, Kenwood, JVC ETC
and the unit is not a IR type , it is a hard wired type so no delay in signals.

Yes i can buy off ebay but there is no guarantee that i would get the new revision to suit a Kenwood system.

Good old Australia, always last to get products.

I will keep you updated on how I go getting the new revision
