Do a search - there's been a recent thread on removing the TL/W console. Try looking in the audio section of the forum if you can't find via a search.

sweet ill sus it out .. thanks

Hey mate,

Welcome to the forums!

Do you need an entire system ( headunit, amps, speakers etc )?

Are you willing to run a sub?

hey Mr ©harisma i actually just bought my headunit jvc touch screen.. just need help with wiring now, colours from magna to JVC head unit ? can any1 help ?

If you want a hand I can help you out with it sometime, interiors and stereo's are sort've my thing in these cars :P Easiest solution wiring wise is to get the Aerpro harness adapters, cost you about $30 all up and will make it plug and play. Just be careful when you buy the adapters, most of the new touch screen JVC's use the Kenwood harness.

If your going to attempt wiring, get yourself an 80W soldering iron from jaycar and solder and use good quality electrical tape. Any other way is dodgy...I've been told some headunits were installed by pro's and when I've had a look all I've seen are these joiner things which is just a solution for lazy pricks. (2 joins in one wire x min 11 wires = 22 possible faults to occur later on down the track)

Where are you located?

I would forget alltogether electrical tape as it will only hold so long, heat shrink is the way to go

The suggestion from Lugo is spot on, the wiring adapter is the best bet, I also go one step further, when you get the adapter it comes in 2 parts, one part to fit the Magna and one part to fit the JVC, I remove the middle plug and solder/shrink this as they sometimes get bad connections and result in sound drop out

If you wanted to do that the cheaper solution which would work out exactly the same in the end, is to get the Aerpro Mitsubishi harness with open wiring on the other end. Saves buying 2 harnesses just to chop them both up :P

Bloody good point, in my case was no go as my JVC harness was in another car still however for someone with a new head unit would be the best bet I guess

Try telling that to the 20 auto-electricians I used to work with :P
As long as it's a good quality stretchy tape, stretched properly over the wire, then tied together as a bunch you'll never have a problem. Issue with heatshrink is if you make a ****-up with wiring it's the worst thing in the world to remove and dangerous at that (as you usually get it off with a stanley knife)
Nuffin wrong with a properly taped wires :P

this is what Ive just bought and its going in a TW also $1567

For starters Paul, who uses "good quality" tape, who can actually get it given that people will usually purchase the cheapest stuff they can get.

Secondly, ALL tape will eventually let go, it is an adhesive, it will not last indefinately.

Heat shrink is far better than any tape, it is actually easy to remove when you know how and no risk if you know how to use a knife :)

I started off just twisting wires together and using masking tape, but got lots of problems down the track. lol Have "matured" slightly and am using crimp on connectors and heat shrink. do it once, do it right. lol

Never had an issue with Twist and tape...
Have even had a Few headunits in accidents being prevented from turning into projectiles by the Twist and tape method
Its like any connection... Done properly.. it lasts.. done poorly it wont...
( I am a fan of using connectors but soldering inside of a Dashboards is a recipe for a car fire)
