Stereo Change wiring issue?
I'm trying to swap out the original stereo to a double din android touch screen unit but I seam to be missing wires. I bought a surround and wiring kit to convert but the new wiring harness is all like what is in the disco. The disco doesn't even appear to have any speaker wires (that I can see).
Can anyone help me out with a run through of where to connect or a link to wiring diagram please.
Thanks

I have the SE model as well and its fitted with the MOST loop
I dont think you can change out the head without losing some of the features
The most loop connects the dash screen, the sat nav and amp on mine and probably other stuff as well.

the speaker wires are under the drivers seat(they are green), connected to the back of the amp
is your adaptor kit long enough to reach to under the seat?
If no, you have the wrong kit

Cheers guys. I'm not to bother about losing the sat nav from the top screen as I'll be able to download one to the android head unit, and I'll have a look under the seat at the amp for speaker wires đź‘Ť

Mine is an SE and doesnt have the MOST so it depends on the stereo pack you have, replacing the CD400 is simple with the Connects2 fascia kit which makes it plug and play and all you lose is the clock from the dash cluster.
With the HK audio system you are going to lose a lot of functions like clock,cruise, 4x4 info, satnav etc.

By the looks of things the SE may differ for different markets
I note you don't have heated seats or a heated front windscreen button

Yeah no need for heated seats or screen, SE's here could be optioned with Hi Ice logic7 system and sat nav, glad mine doesn't have it as the android head unit offers so much more.

Hi... I am trying the swap the factory head unit with a chinese Android with built in Offline GPS.
Everything seems OK except that I cannot find the ACC line. The unit will work if the ACC and Power tied together, but will call for a manual switch off every time...

Taste is undebatable i know, but the sound quality of a logic7 HK sound system is not comparable to a chinese unit… Really it isn’t. Let alone the amp AND the metal coned speakers with big magnets who are comming with the logic7 system If sound quality is not important, but features are… you may have a point….

You need to take the acc line from the rear of the cigar lighter
