#3571, "Need help relocating head unit"


          

I just need some general information on how to relocate my head unit into my glove box. What would I need to do in order to get the wires to reach there? Would I just need to extend each wire individually? What about the antenna wire? How do you extend the antenna wire anyway? Any help would be great. Thanks.

If you do it properly and buy a wiring harness then you can make the leads as long as you want, as far as the antenna goes you can get a extension for it from most shops.

Yeah, buy an antenna extension. 18 inch should work I would think. As for your stereo hook up, I hope you have the interface harness that just plugs into your factory wiring. If you do just take it all out and cut the wires half way between your radio plug and the harness that plugs into the car. Then just keep your colors together and extend the wire. You don't need colored wire as long as you keep track and do one wire at a time. Keep in mind your harness does not have a gruond and you'll have to ground it to the body, so extend that one too emoji
