Just wondering what cables i need to change my Becker over to an Alpine? Also, im sure i read somewhere i need to bypass the Amplifier which is a case of disconnecting the plugs and just reconnecting them together
Does the Alpine have enough clearance to fit? Chances are you'll need to modify the housing unless you have a display/screen style unit going in the stock location with a brain elsewhere in the vehicle.
I'm in the process of rewiring mine (Kenwood car portal KOS-L702) and I can tell you it's more than a normal radio/harness swap.
Some wire up the hazards and illumination wires to a new switch or head unit as those are controlled through the NIT (factory system) from what I understand.

Yup...sorry! Well, I'm the sorry one with no room...arghhh.Mine is a Grandsport, so sounds like yours is a 4200
Nope, was 2nd hand. Il see if i can get one from Halfords tomorrow.Did the Alpine not come with an adapter? The one you’ve linked to is the type of thing you’ll need.
Do you need the iPhone box, or does the new unit do it for you?
Speculative guess but maybe the two iPhone box wires go to a microphone
Check out my post on the subject.
Im due to visit the GS tomorrow; let me know if you need a photo of the amps wiring as I recall where I have stored the redundant cable.
That would be great if possible please. I'm out the country for another week, so even if its not tomorrow, at some point would be great.
