Hi Everyone,

I'm due to pick up a 56 plate 1.1 Active Panda tonight and it currently has the Double Din Blaupunkt HU in it.

I currently have a JVC KD-X50BT in my Volvo S40 which is going the journey at the weekend and I quite like the JVC HU since it streams audio from my Android phone, can make and recieve calls extremely well using Bluetooth and has a 16GB flash drive fitted in the front for other bits of music for me and the GF.

I'm guessing I need an alternative fascia to fit it and the CT24FT06 from car audio direct looks like it could be the correct one.

Not a bad price either,

But what I am here for is to find out what cabling I need to fit the JVC HU in?

In the Volvo I needed an adaptor to go from the Volvo plug to an ISO connection as well as an adaptor for the aerial but I'm not sure if similar applies with the Panda so I'm hoping that some kind soul here can point me in the right direction of the parts I will need.

Thanks in advance.

ps, sorry I haven't posted links to the JVC HU and the fascia, I haven't made enough posts yet.

Power/Speakers:

The Panda uses a dual ISO connector. JVC units have a propriety connector on the back of them. My unit came with a male JVC socket to female ISO adapter, so you simply connected the Panda's ISO into the adapter and then the adapter into the back of th eJVC.

However, when I look at the installation instructions of your model, it doesn't seem to come with said JVC to ISO adapter. If that's true then you'll need something like this and to follow the instructions at matching up the wires.

Or you could buy an JVC to ISO adapter on the net, just make sure that the ISO ends are not seperated, as the Panda combines them. I once bought an adapter like one on the left, thinking that I could simply place the two ISO ends next to each other and they'd fit. This isn't always the case, as most of the time the perimeter of the female socket combines to be too thick of the gap in the male socket. So the connector on the right is the safest bet.


Radio connection:
You'll need an ISO to DIN adapter for the radio. This should do the trick.
