Changing head unit - advice needed


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am looking to put my Alpine H/U in the Golf, problem I have is the car came with the DSP unit and the nokia amp in the boot.

Took car to my usual ICE installer and he started saying that the speaker wires are not connected traditionally and unless I replaced the nokia amp with another amp and migrate the wires across, I would need to have all 4 speakers re-wired up to the head unit?

Is this correct? I'm sure there must be a way around it. He spoke to autoleads and they confirmed this and stated that the ISO connector plug only powers the replacement stereo and doesn't include the speakers.

Also is it worth selling the original kit with the Gamma head unit, multicahnager and DSP with nokia amp. Or should I just leave in the loft until the car eventually gets sold on.

Sorry but loads of questions there, only just got into the VW ownership thing.

Thanks David
