How to choose the right Connects 2 kit
Search by your make, model and year, as dashboards and wiring can change between facelifts. A full installation kit usually includes the fascia and the parts needed for the vehicle, while a fascia plate on its own suits installs where wiring is already sorted. If you want to keep steering wheel controls, make sure you add the patch lead that matches your stereo brand. Shop compatible double DIN stereos to finish the job.
