Replacing Gamma Head Unit on a 5.5 Wagon

Post by ShaneB »

The CD changer has died in my 5.5 Wagon so I'm looking to replace the standard Gamma unit with a Sony single disc head unit (It has the same Red illumination with a blue display so hopefully won't look too out of place).

Just want to check what is required as have heard about in line aerial boosters, aerial connector adapters and swapping the permanent 12V feed for memory backup. I assume the easiest way is with an ISO adapter harness and that will drive the standard component speaker setup with no problems.

Just want to make sure I've got everything I need before I start the job as I'll only get annoyed if I can't do the entire install in one go or have to keep taking the head unit out to swap things around.

If there's a how to guide here somewhere that I've missed feel free to point me in the right direction.

Cheers Shane
