What type of wires to i need my HU to have?

[Jimi137]

Hi. Im looking to buy my first aftermarket stereo for my corsa and am wondering how it could be connected. I know some people have sed on some units that they can't wire them up to some cars. Is it like this for a corsa?

Also as an aside note: how to i remove the old stereo and fit a new one? Is it and easy job or is it better getting someone who knows what they are doing to sort it?

u need a set of removal keys cost bout 2 quid on ebay or ive got sum and they jst go in the holes fasen on and u pull on em and the old headunite comes out then you jst disconnect the wireing block and take it out then pull out the old cage. then put ur new cage and headunit in

The corsa uses an ISO harness, so if your stereo has an ISO plug it's a straight swap, otherwise you'll need an adapted cable. Ask the salesperson when you buy the stereo to tell you whether the HU has an ISO connector or not.

Thanks guys - yeh ive checked and it does come with an ISO connector so that seems pretty straightforward to fit now. Just gotta wait 3 days for the postage lol
