HU Installation help
« on: November 23, 2010, 12:00:23 pm »
Hi, I am installing a new HU in the golf. All is fine, but the radio connection is different to that of my standard cables.

Pic below...







Am I going to be OK pulling the 2 covers off the cable or do I need an adaptor?

Thanks in advance. Nick

Yes just remove the covers and they slot on. Secure with some insulation tape if required!  :happy2:

Are those for radio reception?

Does it matter which way round they go?
