Relocating headunit and extending faceplate somewhere else.
I did this for my friends setup. I used two Cat5 cables with couplers.

That's a cool way to do that! That must have been a pain in the @$$ because of how many wires you had to solder though. Good creative job though  |

What kind of soldering iron did you use? DId you need to do anything more than just match up the pins? |

I used a radio shack 15 watt grounded soldering iron.
I didn't do anything except verify the pins went to the correct spots.

he has the car.
I didn't take pics of the final install. I've been busy playing with my car.
I'm going headunitless on my car so headunits and doing this is useless for me. |
