on the off chance does anyone know the colour codes for the wiring?

[Woodfull]

Have today replaced mine with a double din JVC HU.

If you want to retain steering wheel control functionality the new HU will need the facility, not all have it, and you'll need one of these:

You'll also need a patch lead to match the make of HU you are fitting,
PC99-JVC, PC99-SON, PC99-ALP and so on. The above link to Dave dnd's webpage explains it all.

I did indeed have to swap over the red and yellow wires as mentioned above, the harness adaptor has that facility so it's dead easy.

On the down side you do end up with an awful lot of cable to stow, especially if you go double din, achieved it ......just!!

Single din and fascia adaptor should will give you more room  

As mentioned above, with the use of the the aforementioned adaptors, electrically it really is dead easy, dependant on which model you propose to fit. Mind you having been an aircraft electrician for nigh on 30 years now, I suppose I would say that

I've just noticed where you are, I work in Dorset, so there could be the offer of some assistance if you need it and it's not too far

Varies with HU.  Get the wiring diag for your HU, will give you clues to what pin does what

TBH, you could probably mostly not connect top block - all power comes in on bottom block, speakers on middle block

Thanks Guys,

I've had a look at the connector supplied with the HU looking from behing the top row consists of 8 pins which are the speakers.

the bottom row consists of another 8 pins and are labelled as follows:

Acc  P.12v out Ant.Cont P.GND (Top)

GND Prk SW Batt+ Reverse      (Bottom)

That's what I found

The speaker block is standard. The bottom block may vary slightly - eg the perm and switched 12v are normally swapped on Vx.

Fair enough I'll take out the fuses and hope for the best??

Offers still there if you need it

Cheers Woodfull,

Unfortunately, I'm north Wiltshire and probably a bit too far from you.

No worries

[V6CDBOY]

Thanks for all your help. I'll give it a go fitting it tomorrow and if I get stuck I can ask for help on here.

You can get adaptor looms as well

Still not happy,

I fitted the Double din H/U and works realy well. Only probablem I'm having is fitting the unit tidely.

Main problem is lack of room behind the H/U due to ISO lead.

Has anyone managed to overcome this and if so how?

So I'm assuming you can't push the HU in far enough??
