Corsa b Headunit wiring and Door speakers..

Post by Thomas »

Hi all,

I have an Corsa B 1999. And i have just bought a new headunit a Kenwood KDC W313A http://caraudiogiant.co.uk/shop/images/ ... -W313A.jpg , I am now unsure what i need to fit it to my car i have heard talk about adaptors but i am unsure on which adaptors.

I would also like to upgrade more door speakers and would like to no the size of them so i can get the correct adaptors and speakers...

Links would be helpful Thanks in advance.

heres a some help with the speakers - http://forums.corsa-b.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=11176

and as for the head unit take it to halfords or some where similar and they can show and advise you on which adapter you need.

then its just a case of plugin it in,

any more questions just ask :D

wots wrong with the connectors, pull them apart and swap them over so it red to yellow etc.

you need to remove your old cage as your new hu shud come with one. most of the time ur new head unit is already in its cage whenyou get it.


get sum pics up of the headunit

Cant pull connectors apart for some unknown reason its not like there fuses but i really dont no... Could i cut the wires half way in between the connectors and where the end connects to the car then crimp one red to yellow with the a couple of bullet connectors and do the same with the yellow to red?

Heres the pics of the headunit.

Heres the pic of whats currently in the car i think this is the old cage as the cars Iso and arieal are clipped on at the back.?

right, they just pull apart mate, they will be tight (to stop them falling out when driving) but they will cum. and your new head units already in its cage, it shud also jsut pull out.
and you also need pull the old cage out.

looks like youve got looks of pulling to do.... :lol:
