anyone fitted a pioneer head unit in their 9n?
the headunit i have just bought is the new pioneer 6850ib and before i go cutting any wires, has anyone fitted one or similar recently, and if so whats the strange wiring arrangement on the the vw black plug (which is bloody which ), or know of an wiring adapter for it so i ant got to cut any wires . cheers

does anyone know which wires are the the earth, constant live and ignition live. Just cant find out at the mo and driving me nuts. Cant understand why there is two red and yellow wires in the polo wiring .

Halfrauds should have a plug and play adaptor for £10-15.

YUP an ISO lead or block is what you want. Should do the trick. Iv never wired my H/U to the battery.

got a shop on ebay checking if they have one that matches up properly. Halfrauds only had the old style plug which is useless. clowns. if this guy sorts it out il get the lead number for future reference folks

Had the wiring harness from ebay on the weekend and just fitted it. It costs £3.50 delivered (bargain) and anyone buying a pioneer stereo all you need to do is swap the red and yellow wires around on the plug when it comes (these are the constant live and ignition live) so you dont loose your radio stations when you turn it off.

Really really easy to do as if you look at the plug you just bought you will see that they have a little spring loaded clip on the pin to keep it in the plug. Just push it in with a small screwdriver (dart works perfectly) and it will slide out the back of the plug easily. Swap them around and job done without even cutting a single wire.

Below is the description and item number of one.
