The frame I received for whatever reason I had to cut some plastic back in order to fit the vents properly from the top tab and they still aren't really great is hard to adjust the horizontals as they are binding. Next the Hazard switch is sticking where it sits so had to shave off plastic carefully around the hole so it can engage and disengage freely and still not fantastic. So not real impressed with that. Second, so I have Alpine head unit, subs, speakers and amps installed after I first bought the ute in 2006 however now those connections are drastically different and rewired for the old head unit and there is no way to plug them in with the kit harness which I never considered. I can plug into the factory plugs with the kit no worries and the unit powers up and functions fine but until I get it rewired it's not going to have any sound. So beware, if you have any non-factory sound devices might run into issue like I have. Have a poke around before you buy and consider if major rewiring is involved.
Hey Mate, Sorry for those issues with the frame if you can let us know the year and model of car we can have a look why this happened. We could not find your order under our system so if you can email us that would be great. The wiring more than happy to help out if you send some pictures. Yes our unit comes with harness to match the factory plugs so if you have a different unit installed and they have cut and join wires instead of using a harness to adapt it then you will need to match it up again but we can help you out with that. Cheers
Once installed and the Vhedia screen cover is removed, there is what looks like another screen protector over the glass which gives it a mat finish. Can you remove this too?
Hi mate, what happens if I have plugs coming from the car that don’t fit anywhere into the harnesses supplied? I don’t know what they do as there’s no wiring diagram available online ????
Hey, mate. Just match the plugs from our head unit's cable kits to the corresponding plugs on the vehicle. You can also reach out to us via live chat or email us at hey@vhedia.com.au so we can assist you further with the installation.
Great video mate! What about steering wheel control? Obviously you do not have same on your vehicle. Was just curious to know if the head unit supports steering wheel control and what are the wiring harness needed. Is the connection at 2:02? Eagerly waiting for your reply! Cheers
Hey, mate. I understand that it can vary from badge to badge. You can send us an email or reach out via chat so we can confirm which head unit will suit your vehicle model/badge. Our kits include all the harness you'll need for other factory options to work such as reverse cameras, steering wheel controls, sensors, etc. Cheers.
Hey, mate. Yeah our units support steering wheel controls. Factory steering controls will be retained unless stated on our website that it will not. We also have steering wheel buttons in our shop you can connect if you do not have factory steering wheel controls. Or you can also check out our steering wheel upgrade! :) Brown cable at 2:02 is for AUX in.
I just bought one of this arrived today haven't installed yet, but I see it covers the factory clock the top of the screen or is it just the angle u recorded in??
Hi, Get in touch with us mate if it is one of ours we will sort it out. That could be fixed with a software update or a setting change we think. Cheers
