Stereo system

[David Tyler]

Hi, I have a 2010 vellfire that has been converted. The previous owners replaced the head unit, there appear to be  15  or so speakers, not all of which are connected. Would anyone know what this system is called? Saw something about theatre sound. Would like to have a better head unit installed and get the steering wheel controls connected. The reversing camera is connected. Would anyone know of  compatible units, what type of connecters etc. Thanks

Can you provide a photo of the head unit you do have ?

Hi there!

That job appears to not be one for the faint hearted regarding wiring and electrical work!

There are a few threads covering people's adventures with it.

Especially on the theatre sound with the 18 speakers, the original system has LOTS of features that the aftermarket look to not have included.

 

In my case, I'm not brave enough to delve in, but Google translate is our friend! And we're now getting used to where most buttons are, and do, on the sub menus.

The phone will Bluetooth stream music to it, and hands free telephone.

We have a separate sat nav, and being not so young we don't really have a great need of other apps on the car rather than our phones.

However I do appreciate many people like the modern appearance, and enjoy the challenge

I agree with Neville.

 

It is a rat's nest in there, be careful

I'd consider sourcing an original head unit as the easiest solution

That's a reasonable idea, if the one that was fitted was known....

 

It seems quite likely, from the pictures of the rear of the unit, in aftermarket adverts I've seen, to be a choice of 2, when taking into account the connections for the amplifier system for the Theatre sound system etc under the passenger seat. 

 

Those adverts never cover the one I've got, but try to lead you to believe that with various adapters it will work....

Others experience on here says otherwise!

And of course, we don't know if that amplifier has been bypassed by the fitting of the current head unit, only investigation by David will discover this!
