Puma head unit

[Pilbara130]

Hi guys,

Some time ago there was a thread on defender stereo head unit and the adaptor thing that fits into the original wiring.


I have tried to use the search button with no luck can any one tell me what stereo they have fitted with USB for iPod .


Cheers

Hi Dan, I fitted a Parrot Asteroid which was great till it died I've replaced it with a Pioneer unit. For the wiring you need an ISO to <stereo brand you buy> adapter, this should be readily available at a car audio store.

Cheers,

Like Tim said, the Puma is fitted with an ISO socket / plug, so what ever radio you get will either an ISO plug / socket or a patch lead to suit the radio you buy. There are quite a few different radios with ISO plugs and front USB plugs available.

The likes of Jacar sell both radios with ISO sockets or patch leads for some other radios.

Dan,stereo shops have the adapter and it's a simple plug and play. Pat

I picked a pioneer unit with everything it, and bought the adapter from Supercheap for under $15, only problem was that they had 2 different connectors for the Pioneer unit, so you just need to know which connector your stereo, or do as I do and take it back and swap it for the correct one.

This was by far the easiest stereo I had ever installed, didn't even need the soldering iron.

Yep pioneer here as well

If you just want the usb connection and nothing extra, just get an FM transmitter, dont have to mod anything, can play whatever you want through the built in system. Mine follows me from car to car and charges my iphone at the same time. costs about $70 from JBhifi or DS.

I went with the JVC AVX-77. nice little unit, not sure if it is still available. here is a link with the install.
