Hi guys,

I want to replace a cheap aftermarket head unit and have tried following Chris's sticky instructions but I need some more help please.

I have done some searches and read everything but a lot of the links don't work and I'm still none the wiser.

My car is an auto so I cant pull the shifter boot up to expose the screws and the auto shift indicator doesn't want to prise out without significant force and I don't want to break anything.

next am I prising the whole AC vent panel (the piece that has both AC vents and the hazard button) out or just the two individual vents as the individual vents don't look they would expose anything except the inside of the ducting.

All help appreciated as my new head unit is just sitting next to my puter waiting to be brought to life.

Mark.

pop the ENTIRE AC vent panel out - two screws.

remove ashtray - 1 screw.

pop shift panel out unplug mode switch

two screws

pull entire assy out and unplug radio,antenna and AC controls.

email me for antenna adapter and harness plugs :down:

without those you are wasting your time..

Thanks again Chris,

Using your original instructions together with your most recent reply I was able to do the job today.

As there was an aftermarket unit already fitted it had the antenna adapter but had the original plugs butchered but i soldered/heat shrank all of the new wires and everything works hunky dory. I also added some Sub leads and unit amp switching wire while at it to save pulling the whole thing apart down the track when/if I fit a Sub.

I took some pics and was going to add it as a response to your sticky if you don't mind as I know that thick blokes like myself find pics easier to understand.

If you were closer to my place and weren't so busy I would have just brought it to you.

Thanks again, Mark.

      Airbox for +T

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      I get you, we’ll see I’m aiming for 200ish kw now and hopefully 300rwkw down the line after some upgrades maybe like headstuds, E85 flex fuel etc  so trying to make it final for that now, I can get a GTT airbox for $280 so it’s not too bad but not sure if there’s better ways to spend that money. I seen online they say pod filter which isn’t enclosed isn’t good especially for a plus T.      hard to say what to do

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh. How much power can you make from a +T anyway? I wouldn't have though it would be enough to challenge the airbox. It's not as if it's tiny compared with the turbo one. As to putting a pod in a stock airbox .... it's not the filter element that would be restrictive. It would be the air inlet to the box that would be the narrow point, which you could open up regardless of what element was inside. On my R32 I opened up the sort of triangular opening in the bottom front corner of the box, deformed (heated, moulded) some 4" stormwater pipe to fit to that opening and punched a 4" hole down through the inner guard to the spot where the stock intercooler used to be. This was purely in the search for a cold intake, but you could do something similar if you need to open up the inlet side of it. The AFM tube size is the same for both NA and turbo, so the outlet from the airbox is same same anyway. If you're going to do the right thing, then an aftermarket ECU won't care about the AFM (ie, you can get rid of it). But even if it was still there, people pull >300rwkW through them all day, and I suspect you won't be going there.

      Doing a +T on my car and I’ve read the precious forums lots of mixed reviews from sometime back.  checking if anyone has any ideas for airbox or enclosed pod filter or solutions?  I was thinking stock GTT box but some say it’s restrictive? I seen some people try fit in a pod in the box anyone done that recently?  not any good enclosed options ? Thanks
