Well little update, I'm not going to post all the pics I took as I'm sure many of you have already changed stereo's. But got my pioneer double din headunit today.

Tested out the handsfree bluetooth connectivity, and had a mess about with the setting etc. Well pleased with it, and I can finally listen to CD's again. Well except the 6 that I couldn't get out of the original headunit.

looks good mate! was it yourself with the video/handbrake wiring? (ive an awful memory with names)

Cheers, just got to figure out what everything does now lol
Yeah, I did post up about how to bypass it. Ended up doing it with the 5pin relay

Yeah, it was either that or fit a toggle switch into the park brake cable and earth it, but I didn't really want to be cutting into the dash to fit switches.

I thought I did it the easiest way - I connected the handbrake wire to the stereo's ground cable...

You can't just do that with these mate. It needs a different signal.

Well little more done today. Got to say a big thanks to all the info on this site along with the step by step (with pics) pdf. Was a massive help, electrics isn't really my forte and not normally something I'd of done myself.
Brake to fog mod now done, I will be doing the tail light conversion too but need to get hold of the correct bulb holders before I can do that
Excuse the dirty car :lol:
