standard HU swap for pioneer app radio
ok guys what exactly will i need to swap the standard Hu in my 01 bug eye for a pioneer app radio, i popped the surround off the standard and was expecting to see a cage which would need keys to release but its a screw in affair. is there a conversion kit? and can someone point me in the direction of a gps antenna fitting guide? i.e. where is best. OR should i try and find a fitter who knows what he's doing? bear in mind i'm at least an hour's drive from a fast food outlet never mind an ICE specialist.

Hi mate
I fitted the app radio in mine and I am not the best with wiring.. First of all I swapped the original cage and screwed it in to the app radio this should then bolt into the original brackets... As for the wiring I ran my mic behind the dash and up the A pillar. Very easy to fit yourself, I also ran a relay switch and deleted the handbrake option.. Hope this helps you a little

All in. Did you have setup trouble? I had to update firmware so it doesn't reject my iPhone but it still won't play apps and makes a crappy sound as soon as iPhone is connected. Any ideas?
