hi, my octavia estate 4x4 2008 is ex police, and when trying to fit the Kenwood cd/radio I notice that the adapter loom side has had the following wires cut..........

2 x red/white

1 x thick brown

1x thin brown

1x blue/white

1 x black white

1x red thin

 

i have bought the adaptor kit for the kenwood,but cannot get it to work.

anyone any ideas as I have not got a wksp manual or wiring diagrams#

is it easy to replace the loom side adapter ?(factory fitted one)

 

many thanks in advance

can you take a pic so we can see if its different to oem?

 

If its oem you need a quad block adapter but you will also need to find a switched live. This can be done in two ways.

 

1. Run a cable from the fuse box from a switched live location to the ignition live on the headunit look

 

2. Buy a quad block adapter cable with a special box which creates a switched live from the canbus signal

hi, did try to upload picture but said it was too big,anyway I paid  to have it fitted as the plods had removed the aerial as well, took the bloke less than an hour to re wire and put indoor aerial on car, now have full music surround.............many thanks for the advice
