CathS 10 #1 Posted November 4, 2022 Been looking at Halfords and also a place in Chapeltown, Source Sounds. Bloomin' pricey getting this stuff fitted isn't it. It's for my lad, first car and he's not got a lot of pennies. He's got a Vauxhall Corsa D. Wants a head unit with apple car play. Are they really that difficult to fit? Do i need to buy a load of tools to do it? I know he'll need the unit plus some sort of electrical cable pack, anything else? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
carosio 186 #2 Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Have you searched youtube, there might be some tutorials on "install Apple Car Play head unit"? You will probably have to disconnect battery before starting the job and this can, on some car models, present problems. Installing wiring can involve removing plastic trims, I have one of those toolsets for doing this properly which should prevent damage. Again, youtube is very useful for showing you how to tackle it on a specific model.

Usually need a wiring harness for the stereo to work in the car along with one or two extra wiring harnesses to enable vehicle specific controls. Some extra cables might be needed to enable auxiliary input or to connect a mobile phone. Also might need a trim fascia piece to cover any unsightly holes. It all adds up and can put a fairly big extra chunk onto the price of just the stereo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
