Morning guys Just joined recently cause i just got a GTC, and loving it. Will post pics as soon as the weather clears to take some. Want to install my sub and amp i had in my old car into the original head unit of my new baby. The previous owner had a DVD HU installed so the wiring is already layed with power from the battery, except the RCA cables from the head unit is laying loose behind it. Question: Does the orginal HU have RCA out and how do I take the HU out? Where would the fuse be cause i can't a damn find it?  Your help is greatly appreciated guys!

I assume there is already a trimplate for the Head Unit you want to install?

I actually don't wanna change the HU....trying to keep the interior and std as possible. I no changing it would result in better sound but i'm not entering any competitions.....yet!  So rumour has it that i just need to get a converter or somein like that for the RCA cables? _________________ 2006 Opel Astra GTC 1.8 Sport 111Kw 186Nm http://share.ovi.com/media/BarryLeeGTC.mymedia/BarryLeeGTC.10007Don't conform....REFORM!!!!

Yip, if you keeping standard Head Unit, then you would need RCA Convertors (not 100% sure of the name)
I think I have those small boxes (red) lying at home...

Corsa Addict: where'd they put the fuse in the UTE? _________________ 2006 Opel Astra GTC 1.8 Sport 111Kw 186Nm http://share.ovi.com/media/BarryLeeGTC.mymedia/BarryLeeGTC.10007Don't conform....REFORM!!!!
