    Our radio package includes your choice of radio and all the parts needed to install that specific radio plus a discount.
    The package includes the radio, radio wiring harness, steering wheel programmer (if needed), plug and play converter, AM/FM antenna adapter, radio mounting kit and microphone housing.
    Just answer the questions and we will take care of the rest.

Radio Wiring Harness

Plug and Play Converter

The harnesses below have an ISO connector instead of bare wires on the end of them.ย  This plug and play converter will go straight into some radios without cutting a single wire.ย  Check the google sheet on this products page to see if your radio will connect directly of of you will need to buy a converter to do a plug and play easy peasy installation.

Steering wheel Control Programmer

If you order the SRWH-VW07-B below you will need to order one of these programmers in order to tell it what radio brand you are installing.ย  Super easy programming.ย  Just plug it in. No computers, Nintendo secret codes or flashing lights.

Main Radio wiring harness WITH steering wheel control interface built inย 

This harness connects to your factory wiring and provides the wires needed to install an aftermarket radio.ย  Some of the wires needed to install an aftermarket radio are communicated through CAN bus. The small box is a CAN bus translator. The following wires are transmitted from the car to the radio through computer signals: Swithched12v, Illumination, Reverse, Parking brake and Vehicle Speed Sense. the small box reads two twisted wires CAN+ and CAN- and translates them into analog signals your new radio can read.ย  It also translates the factory steering wheel controls into a signal your new radio can understand.ย  This is also the option you need if you have a Fender or Dynaudio amplified system. (You must choose the option when you order)

Main Radio wiring harness WITHOUT steering wheel control interface built inย 

This is the same as the SRWH-VW07-B above but the electronics that translate the steering wheel controls have been turned off.

Super Premium Main Radio wiring harness Built with IDatalink Maestro.

This is overkill for most of you.ย  This harness is made using an iDatalink Maestro RR or RR2 box and a custom harness made by us to make it compatible with our plug and play interfaces. This is just a harness not a whole kit including the parts below.ย  Its this expensive because it has a mini computer that communicates with a maestro ready radios using a special data port.ย  Also turns on your Fender or Dynaudio amplifier.

Radio Mounting Kit

A radio mounting kits hold the radio in place and fills the gaps around the radio for a factory finish.ย  Our kits are made of a thicker plastic than most of our competitors and we also have 3 different color options to match your interior.ย  If you order a kit please post picture to help everyone else.
Just to complicate things we have 3 different radio mounting kits.

The originalย 

This is our original dash kit.ย  It has been a customer favorite for years and its is still the best kit on the market.ย  It comes with a radio mounting cage and side brackets ehat ensure the radio sits perfectly flush in the face. But it has a 10MM lip that makes some modern radios look sunk in.ย  (see below)

Shallow faced radios A few years back screens started getting thinner radio manufactures started making some radios with shallow faces.ย  The face is the part around the screen that sticks out of the front of the radio.ย  its usually not as wide or as tall as the back of the radio (the chassis).ย  For this reason we had to make a shallow faced Kit.

The shallow one

This is our shallow faced radio mounting kit.ย  It has a thinner lip for radios with shallow faces.ย  It also uses metal side brackets instead of aย  mounting cage.ย  This radio mounting kit can be used with almost any radio.ย  It’s also a better choice for radios that have a floating screen and radios that have a double-din face and a single din chassis.ย  The original is still my choice if your radio does not have a shallow face.

The shallow mic holder

We also recognized that not everyone wants to remove their a pillars to run a mic to the factory location in the overhead panel.ย  This radio mounting kit has a mounting location for out custom mic designed just for this dash kit.ย  It makes for a super easy microphone installation whthout having an ugly microphone on your dashboard.ย  It also reduces feedback since its hidden from the cars speaker.

Microphone for the radio mounting kit above

We put his here becauseย  most do not see it when we put it on the product page.ย  The mic for “The shallow mic holder” is sold separately and this is it.

This kit includes a radio and all the parts needed for installation.

AM/FM Antenna adapter

There are 3 different antenna adapters for these cars.ย  One has two wires in two separate connectors, one has two wires in one plastic connector and one had one wire in one plastic connector..

All touchscreen radios have two wires in one connector. Also the non touchscreen radio with MEDIA button.

All radios WITHOUT a touchscreen that have a LOAD button on the top left corner (and navigation radios WITHOUT touchscreen) have two wires on two separate connectors.

All non radios without a touchscreen that do not have a MIX button on the face have one wire on one connector.

Microphone

Custom Factory Fit Microphone

This part is made to fit in your cars factory microphone location.ย  Not only will you get better sound quality but since it is mounted behind the factory panel you will not have to see an ugly mic hanging off your headliner.

SiriusXM Antenna Adapter

You car may have been prewired for SiriusXM.ย  This means that you car has a fatory SiriusXM antenna that is better than the one that came with your new SiriusXM tuner. This adapter will allow you to use the factory antenna for better reception but you cannot use the factory tuner with your aftermarket radio.ย 

And no you can never use your factory tuner with an aftermarket radio.

Cars with a touchscreen radio that have a SAT button on the face(and all touchscreen navigation radios) have the SiriusXM antenna behind the radio because the tuner is built into the radio.

Cars without a touchscreen radio that have a SAT button on the face (and all navigation radios that do not have a touchscreen) have the SiriusXM antenna on the roof. This cable is long enough to run from your new radio to connector at the SiriusXM tuner in the trunk.

GPS Antenna Adapter

If your car had a shark fin antenna and your car came with a navigation radio, the antenna also has a GPS antenna built into it.ย  This cable is routed to the back of the radio.ย  This adapter allows you to use the antenna on the rood for better signal.ย  (many radios without built in GPS use a GPS antenna to improve navigation through your phone so check your radio.)

Backup Camera

This car came with a factory backup camera that flips out of the rear handle.ย  All these cameras had lines that moved when you moved the steering wheel.

This adapter keeps you factory camera and also keeps the moving lines.
This price is just to keep the camera.ย  It does not include a harness to install your radio.ย  Connects behind the radio.

This harness keeps the factory camera but you lose the moving lines.
This cable bypasses the factory backup camera module.ย  The module still powers the camera but the signal is taken before it enters me module.ย  Connects at the backup camera module in the trunk so the cable must be run from the radio to the trunk.
