Salsoul Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hello, I'm wondering if this head unit is compatible with US cars (plug and play)? I would be installing it in an 05 LGT. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicRasta Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 this is a thread revival, I know, but i have this radio and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get it to work? I've attempted to contact SVXdc a number of time with our success. This radio has the same Kenwood climate controll module as the AVO. Any ideas?

goneskiian Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I've only ever heard of that stereo in THIS thread. It's a european unit. I think there's some info in there about getting it to work. Ping member julianfast as well as he got one to raid so he could get the Caska unit working. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Oh yeah, where did you get it? It's pretty highly sought due to the fact that the HVAC components aren't completely integrated with the stereo functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicRasta Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Oh yeah, where did you get it? It's pretty highly sought due to the fact that the HVAC components aren't completely integrated with the stereo functions. Yeah, I actually got it from ebay. It was shipped from Israel and i figured since it was a left hand drive salvaged car, that it would be plug and play. I actually only paid $150 for it, and the seller refunded my money once I told him it didn't work. I'd feel bad if I got it to work but its just sitting there...and it looks really nice. If i get it working a may just call up the seller (a wrecking yard) and give him his money. I believe, based on my research, I need the i88 plug adapter. But SVXdc hasn't returned my pvt's, posts, or emails. I hope he's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexShu Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 do you have the picture of the back of the unit ? it would be awesome if you share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicRasta Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I finally got in contact with him and everything worked out perfect...well...kinda perfect. The only problem is that the head unit i got didn't have the actual plug for the radio antenna because it was cut off by the seller. So I just figured i could just splice it into my car and boy was i wrong. There's a reeeaaaally thin wire inside of the casing and thers no way i can solder or combine the wiring and i haven't looked up what to do. But as far as svxdc, everything worked out great!

tanomack Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey EpicRasta, I'm in the same situation, how'd you get it to work? It seems there's one plug that doesn't fit anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
