Replacing head unit

[zaphodbb]

Hi Gerald,

Best guess is neither of them - I think the two sockets on the top LH are the power in and speaker outputs, and both of those loom's you picture are for the 18 speaker / home theater equipped cars (but for different head units) which have different sockets and the MOST converter (the expensive box with the label) to interface the factory external audio amp.

Are there any speakers in the headlining on your Vellfire? if not, I think you need this one:

But unsure if you need the CANBUS adapter (small box) version or not.

Maybe others can advise?

no i think its the basic speaker set up, not seen any additional speakers on the dash or in  the lining. from what i can see just 8 speakers.

thanks for the link. 

will see what happens when the new unit arrives. at least those looms wont break the bank.
