The pics show the installation process.

The Units USB – This connects to your mobile to run the Android auto on the unit. You do have to cahange a phone setting allowing Android Auto to overlay all other apps

All the wires — All the crazy wires

Cut out half of the centre bar to get the USB cable through

The USB from the HU

Radio doesn’t actually sound that bad must be the time of night and working in the car for the last 2 hours.

These are the pesky ashtray cigarette lighter socket plugs

Here’s the iso connectors that are part of the hrness kit not terminating required for those (don’t need to use the ones that are bare that come with the radio)
