Hi,
I have a T5.1 (2015) and recently fitted a Pioneer head unit with rear camera and DAB ariel. I hate it. Would this unit be an easy swap wiring wise? Particularly the rear camera connection.
Answer:
hi,
yes this should be a simple swap over, however when purchasing the radio make sure you inform the mail order team that you need a T5 loom not a T6MIB loom as yours should use the older wiring, the kenwood should work perfectly fine with the rear camera connection as the input is just RCA
