[QUOTE="GizzmanSL2, post: 8838276, member: 688701"] Hey, sorry if similar posts exist but many are out of date and I am still a little confused. I would like some advice on what parts to buy for my Corsa D to be able to fit an aftermarket single din stereo while keeping the steering wheel controls intact. Car: Vauxhall Corsa D 2011 1.4 Current stereo: CD 30 MP3 This is the stereo I am purchasing: Sony DSX-A416BT [URL]https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/sony-dsx-a416bt-mechless-digital-media-receiver-bluetooth-usb-iphone-ipod-car-stereo.html?srsltid=AfAwrE5I2mGCucqjpQdtob9Fcz-EZAgt9CKHvyz3MITawpVmWUxXclI5fwA[/URL] Does the Sony stereo head unit come with the required wiring hardness already in the box or do I also have to buy one of these and if so what ones are compatible with the above stereo: [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074S7ZH78/[/URL] I am confused over what steering wheel adapter control to buy as there are at least 4 and all look similar: [URL]https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/vauxhall-corsa-2009-2014-steering-wheel-stalk-control-adaptor-ctsvx003-2.html[/URL] [URL]https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/vauxhall-corsa-d-2009-2014-steering-wheel-control-stalk-interface-adaptor.html[/URL] [URL]https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/vauxhall-corsa-d-2009-2014-steering-wheel-stalk-control-adaptor.html[/URL] [URL]https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/connects2-ctsvx003-vauxhall-opel-corsa-d-2009-2014-steering-stalk-control-adaptor.html[/URL] and will I need to buy any other ISO hardness’s or does this all come with the above kits? e.g. [URL]https://incartec.co.uk/product/Vauxhall-quadlock-to-ISO-radio-adapter-harness-with-antenna-adapter-hardwire-ignition[/URL] I know I will need a Sony patch lead, single din adapter facia and double din removal tools, all of that I can get myself, but will I also need an antenna adapter for the radio? I am also very confused whether I need to wire the stereo in using the red/yellow cable for power/ignition as some people/harnesses’ say you need to while others do not, does anyone know if I need to on my car and if so, any idea as of how? I am terribly sorry for the questions and post, but I am in desperate need of some advice here, as long as I know what bits I need I think I can fit it all ok, many thanks everyone for putting up with me 😊 [/QUOTE]
