Fitting an aftermarket radio in my daughter's Micra

[Nick Simpson]

Hi

I wonder if somebody could point me in the right direction for which leads to buy to connect a new radio in my daughter's micra. Her car is a K11C 1.0 registered 2001. I have ordered a din to iso ariel converter, and was thinking of buying this radio: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371479404246?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I believe I need an ISO harness adaptor, but not sure which one.
Any help and tips greatly appreciated.

Dear Nick

99% of aftermarket radios have the same colors - wires. All you need is to make a research to identify your factory ones witch is what.
Then just connect them with a tape

Is you need extra help please let me know

Here's the diagram.

You don't require the black and white wire from the immu. Its just for the original stereo security.

I bought from halfords nissan to ISO leads and i cut the ISO bit out and wired it to the stereo wires . I had exactly the same stereo.
(I did that just to not cut car's wires)

While wiring in an aftermarket head unit is relatively straight forward I would strongly recommend soldering and heat shrink wrap for all connections and not just "tape". Having said that, the last two I have done I have used generic adapter harnesses for two reasons, 1 it is very quick and simple to do and 2 it is easily reversible if you ever want to sell the car but keep the stereo. The only real down side to this is the stereo loom can now be quite a bit longer than it was originally ( or if you cut and soldered ) with at least two bulky block connectors to find a home for. Over here in Australia we have many auto factors that sell these things ( like Halfords in the uk ) I believe they are not model specific, but just make specific ( like say sony to Nissan for example ) .
Good luck with the instal and I hope this helped.
