Hello all,

I currently have an Inphase IPS620SD headunit kicking about from my old focus and was planning on putting it into my new MkI Octy VRS.

I dont particularly want to mess about with rewiring things, so was wondering what ISO connector i would need for the Octy?

Will i also need an amplified arial adaptor for the MkI Octy or not?

Cheers

I'm sure I just used the connector from halfords. I did have to buy a powered fm antenna too

When I was thinking about getting an after market head unit for my vrs a while ago I was advised that I would need a boost for the aerial and to check the permanent and ignition feeds as they are reversed on these cars

From what i've read an ISO wiring harness should fix the problem with the permanant/ignition feed.

With regard to the amplified ariel adaptor, will this require me to do any soldering to install, as my soldering skills are pants!

Usually these boosters can be plugged straight into the ISO wiring harness, or simply connected to the electric aerial feed from most head units.

Mine just plugged in. Its quite a large bit of metal and it gets quite snug behind the stereo!

You need an Autoleads PC2-69-4 (same as mk4 Golf etc.). The aerial adaptor should be PC5-52. You can get both of these very cheap on eBay, don't go to Halfrauds.

Hello again guys,

I've picked up the suggested Wiring Loom adaptor and the Amplified Ariel adaptors. My query is what to do with the blue wire on the Ariel adaptor?

Having checked the manual for my head unit it indicates that the "Auto Antenna Output" aligns up with the blue wire on my Wiring Loom adaptor. As such, do i just need to yank the blue wire from the wiring loom adaptor, and put the blue wire from the Ariel adaptor in its place?

Cheers
