Need headset cradle! WHERE??

[Haro]

HI,

My double din stereo got flogged by the warfies when my sline was on the boat, when they ripped it out they also took the aluminium case or cradle that holds the headset into the dash.

Does anybody know where i can get a replacement item? Im in brisbane, do YOU have one??

Also, i got a replacement double din kenwood item with CD and MD from Japan BUT the plugs do not match up at the rear of the headset (despite the fact that the stolen one was also a kenwood double din MD / CD item of the same vintage) SO second problem....where do i get a new plug to match?? Does anybody have one of those??

any help would be greatly appreciated.... I NEED MY BEATS!

it will be the wiring loom to suit that headunit. you can either get a new wiring loom for whatever head unit you have and then chop off the current plug you have on your car or you can see if there is an adapter for it. for example you can get aftermarket pioneer to aftermarket clarion vice versa, so if your car came with a carrozzerria/opioneer head unit and its got that plug on the wiring loom you can use this adapter and it will plug straigfht into a clarion head unit

worst case scenario chop the plug off and start again., the wires are colour coded and you should be able to hook it up to a new wiring loom for any head unit

the head unit (if brand new) should come with its own wiring loom plug which you have to hook up to your cars wires so it can plug into the back of the head unit

I know you can get a cradle from nissan here in melb for about $30 bucks (a mate brought one) - dont have a code or anything but if u need some more info i will ask him, but your best bets is to go to a wrecker and see what they have if not keep an eye on thread on the forum or post up a thread in the wanted section if you cant find any at the above ideas.

Thanks for your help guys!

I ordered a new plug from kenwood to go into the back of the headset so that is one thing done.

NOW as for the adapter plug for the adapter i was pretty confident that the stereo that was in there was infact a kenwood item, but seeing as though kenwood has not changed their plug for about 10years (according to a Northfield guy) i may have got the previous brand wrong. I have a pic of the interior of my car whilst in Japan...but no close up of the stereo....Does anybody recognise the Brand??? Im pretty sure its a kenwood (coz the remote is a kenwood) *any ideas why the plug would be different would be greatly appreciated* As i would prefer NOT to have to "re do" all the wires and start from scratch if u know what i mean.

I think i will go direct through Nissan for the cradle bracket thingo seems like the easiest and most reliable way.

Thanks again... keep the ideas or solutions heading this way.

Hi paulr33,

yes your help and everybodies has been priceless!! I have my headset installed now, as in i did all the wiring up of the bad boy and i now officially have beats! however, im still waiting on Nissan for the cradle / mounts to actually hold the sucker in there. ATM she is simply jammed into the hole and held there by the trusty ol tape of the Gaffa variety! :wassup:

One of the rear speakers is stuffed tho, its brand new, but it sounds as if it has been blown, i have checked all the connections and they are sweet so it may be the wiring from the headset to the speaker...so im gonna swap over the wires and see if its just the speaker or the wiring itself...

Thanks for all you help guys, if i have any more probs i will be posting here for sure.
