Fascia Adaptor

This adaptor will convert the non din-sized aperture left after removing the factory stereo to a din size ready for head unit installation. The high quality finish, colour and texture are designed specifically to maintain the original look of your vehicles interior.

This fitting kit is supplied with a metallic charcoal fascia adapter panel suitable for a double din aftermarket radio. The fascia adapter allows the fitting of an aftermarket radio into the dashboard by matching the shape, style and colour of the original radio. Use the fascia adapter with the supplied fitting cage to install a double din radio.

Steering Control Adaptor

A stalk/steering wheel control adaptor enables you to utilise the original factory remote audio (whether built onto steering wheel or fitted on a stalk next to the steering wheel) with an aftermarket unit. 

A Quadlock to ISO adapter cable with CANbus steering control interface is supplied in the kit. This cable adapts from the original connector in the car, known as a quadlock, to standard aftermarket connectors for the new stereo, known as ISO connectors. The CANbus steering wheel control interface will retain the use of the original radio controls on the steering wheel with an aftermarket stereo. The CANbus interface generates a key present ignition supply to the new stereo, this means the stereo will turn on with the first click of the key and stay on until the key is removed from the ignition barrel. The interface also generates speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake output signals, these are used when installing multimedia, navigation units and reverse cameras. This interface is built into the Quadlock to ISO harness adapter so installation is plug and play.

The CANbus interface requires a data wire to be connected at the rear of the display screen at the top of the dashboard (instructions are included), because our interface connects to the data signal here, rather than at the rear of the radio, it means that it never loses the data connection to the car. Other interfaces, when connected at the rear of the radio, will lose the data connection, this is because the car recognises that the original radio is no longer present and shuts down the data signal. This data signal does not shut down at the display screen.

Aerial Adaptor

An Aerial Adaptor is needed when replacing the original factory fitted head unit with an aftermarket head unit.

A Fakra to DIN antenna adapter is included in the kit. This adapts from the original style antenna connectors in the car, known as Fakra connectors, to a standard aftermarket connector for the new stereo, known as a DIN connector.

Stereo Removal Keys

Stereo Removal Keys to remove headunit from the fascia cage. Many OEM manufacturers are incorporating special locking mechanisms into their head units in an attempt to prevent stereo theft. This means that to remove one of these units you will require a manufacturer specific stereo removal key to prevent damage to the head unit or the surrounding fascia and cage.

User Note: Backgrounds

• Your IE268E head unit utilises a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel to display clear, crisp images in a variety of lighting conditions.
• Your IE268E unit is optimised to provide the highest quality image in a variety of use cases, but you should be aware that specific contrast ratios and backgrounds can cause temporary image retention.
• When customising your background, avoid images that include high contrast static patterns; these images can cause temporary image retention in LCD panels through repeated use.
• Retained images should vanish within 10-40 minutes of regular operation. If you see from your custom background, we strongly suggest you choose another option, or use one of the included IE268E background options.
