Which Connects 2 Accessory should I choose?
If you are fitting speakers into a Volkswagen Transporter, the collar you need depends on speaker size: the CT25VW15 is for 8 inch (200 mm) speakers in the T5 and T6, whereas the CT25VW12 covers 6.5 inch (165 mm) speakers and suits the T6.1, Golf MK7, Polo and Passat. The CT55-VW02 works alongside either collar if you also need to convert the factory VW Group speaker plugs to standard aftermarket connectors, keeping the original wiring intact.
For head unit installs, choose the DAB-A1 if your Pioneer or Sony stereo requires an SMB DAB aerial, the Universal Single DIN Installation Pocket when mounting a floating-screen stereo on side fix brackets, or the CTALPINELEAD if you are connecting an Alpine head unit to a Connects 2 steering wheel control interface.
