Great guide. Especially taking the whole cage out. Need that so I can rearrange the cables and put em in nicely. Can you tell me how to put a cable from behind the radio all the way to the trunk? I'm installing a rear vriew camera so I need that cable to go all the way back.
Great guide thanks.
I also need to change my climate control panel just beneath this due to some damage on the screen, is this easy to do?
Hello, so for power i need to connect only the red wire to the fusebox and the ground from original ground wire of the car right? What about the yellow wire and the blue one? This to shouldnt be connected to anything? Thank you
Is this worth doing to my 61 plate evo? Can’t help but think how good a nice, high quality screen would look in that gloss black unit. Don’t know if it’s worth the hassle and the sacrifice of the steering wheel controls however...
Thanks for the information could you help me what are the door size speakers for the front and the rear I want to change them for aftermarket ones.
Why do you add the power wire with the fuse spur?? Does the radio not have power unless you run that wire?
Hi I have followed the steps but dont get any sound at all from the speakers please help
Hey thx for the great video. I did everything like described and it works like a charm as long as the radio is switch on. If I switch the radio off, several lights start blinking and fuel control etc won't work anymore. What did I do wrong? Thx for help.
Sounds like feedback,check your power source is on a genuine ignition switched fuse and then make sure your earth cable has good contact with the chassis.
When i pish them apart they release and come out, any advice??
will 17a wire work, or does it have to be 15a?
Great Video and will be a great help thanks. One question, I have just ordered the facia with exact same part number and manufacturer but it isn’t in a high gloss finish. The video appears to show the facia in a high gloss finish to match exactly. Can you just confirm it did exactly match? Many thanks
Yes it matched fine,If I recall this was made by Connects2,they do a couple of shades.
PJs projects thanks so much for the reply. I actually contacted connect 2 directly today but they say they only do one type in black but it could have been that they did 2 types at the time you did the fitting. Thanks again for replying. If it was your Punto you fitted out, I’ll buy the facia from you if you sell with the original stereo!!!! Cheers
Gerad but where u get the stuff from the car ?
Thanks for the tutorial, it is great! But I have a couple of questions I would like to ask:
1. Which AWG/gauge is the power cable and why is it necessary? It is not enough if I buy an ISO harness and plug it from the old connector into the new radio?
2. I know one of the fuses used in the fuse tap/adapter comes from the fuse box but where does the other one come from? I have already bought a new radio and it comes with a 15 amp fuse pluged in the back; can I use that one? If not, which amperage must the new fuse have?
Sorry for my ignorance but I dont really get to understand that part of the video and it is the first time I change a radio.
I hope you can answer my doubts, thank you.
Use 15amp rated power cable with a ten amp fuse as most radios have a ten amp in the back.
You need the power cable because the a lot of the Fiat range do not have a ignition switched power going to the factory radio, so when you install an aftermarket radio it stays on all the time even when the ignition key is removed.
PJs projects thank you very much! :D
@@PJsprojects Hello, thank you for the video. I am just trying to do this in my Fiat Punto could you please share the link to where to get that power cable from please?
Hi Tom, if I am just wanting to add an aux cable to the existing stereo, will I have to take the entire casing out as shown in the video, I can I simply pull out the head unit with the release pins and plug it in that way?
A lot of the Punto models have a aux input on the front of the radio but if not you might try an adapter that plugs in to the rear such as this - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/adapter-cable-Aux-In-Out-adapter-FIAT-Punto-from-2012-for-scanner-mp3-ipod/401304844152?epid=737122645&hash=item5d6fa1f778:g:LBIAAOSwYIxX3-Oa
If I want to install an AUX cable to the original radio in the Punto, where should I plug it in ? Do I need to remove the steering controls in the back and plug it in there ?
On most Punto models you plug the cable in to the top left corner of the original radio with this type of adapter -

Good instructions, I have just purchased a punto with a Sony installed. I want to swap it out for the original radio . Will the existing cables be ok ? Will I have to remove the power cable?
Michael Hainsworth Power cable should be fine if its already wired for an aftermarket radio.
Just make sure to tape up the power cable thats been added or remove the fuse from it to make sure its dead.
How many watts as this radio? Thanks
Hello there, thanks for the nice video!
I've got a few questions:
I followed your instructions and made it all the way to the point where you put the aftermarket radio (in my case a 1din Pioneer) back into the dashboard.
But there's no power unfortunately. I've never had this before and I've installed quite a few radio's in the past.
Your video shows that I need to pull an extra powercable from the fusebox. But why is that exactly? Does it have anything to do with the CANBUS system that's on this car?
If so, instead of pulling an extra powercable, would it be possible for me to buy a CANBUS cable system which I can use to keep the steeringwheel controls alive and power the radio at the same time? I don't know if you have any experience with this.
Thanks for the reply :)
Some of the steering interface units do have a switched power output but the one I list below is not cheap. You really are better of just popping a new power cable in.

Hi there PJ and thanks for your advice.
I see that the listed interface on Ebay is quite expensive yes. Almost as expensive as the Pioneer radio I have bought new.
Would the following be another option?
- Pull a separate powercable from the 12v cigarette lighter to the red cable that comes from the Pioneer radio unit? And will this separate cable require an in-line fuse? I personally do not think so because the cigarette lighter has a fuse of it's own in the fusebox.
Example of the in-line fuse powercable: sc02.alicdn.com/kf/HTB191REQFXXXXaHXpXXq6xXFXXXt/Waterproof-power-cord-with-in-line-fuse.jpg
Thank you again for your reply in advance.
Yes you could do it that way,just be aware that your steering controls for the radio won't work.
Hiya PJ,
Today I finally had some spare time to finish this project.
I pulled a separate power cable from the 12v cigarette lighter. It's very easy to release the leather gear thingy from the shiftstick (sorry don't know other word haha, I'm Dutch :-P).
Then I unplugged the cable from the socket, removed the middle pin and I added the extra powercable. This cable has an extra fuse in between, just to be sure. Then I plugged it back into the cigarette lighter, checked the radio and it worked!
Thanks for your vid, it really helped me with a lot of steps!
Cheers!
Any one know what the wire colors are for the 2 rear speakers in the door for the fiat punto evo 2012
Should be black/green and red/yellow but double check with a workshop manual for any revisions. Also be sure to not cut the red or yellow power cables.
Hi PJ, I have all the parts to change my radio now just wondering apart from the steering wheel control of the radio can doing this create errors with other things like the speedo? And can the trip mileage still be reset on the right steering indicator button?
No you won't get any errors and you can still reset your mileage.
All done and sorted, thanks again for the informative video.

Where did you purchase the steario adapter?
The cable from the cars fusebox is available from most car shops/Ebay/Amazon and is 15amp red power cable & the thing that plugs in the fusebox is called a fuse spur (see example below). My parts are sent to my in bulk so are not available to the public from my supplier.

Hi, When i plug in the new radio it won't turn on. no power at all. why is that? it's a JVC 1 din radio
One of the following-
1.No power to the red wire.(could be blown fuse)
2.No power to the yellow wire.(could be blown fuse)
3.Black earth wire is not earthed very well.
4.The radio is faulty.
Can you tell me why you piggy backed this to a 5 amp fuse? It should be 10 amp minimum and surely it should have been piggy backed to the cigarette lighter socket fuse and they are not 5 amp.
My radio has a 15 amp fuse in the back so why only piggy back it to a 5 amp?
Bit of a misunderstanding with the fuse spur, With these spur adaptors the first fuse just runs the new radio and the second fuse that is removed from the fuse box only has to run it's original circuit and so it makes no odds if it's a 3amp,5amp,30amp or whatever.
Sir where prhase frame
why would you like to swap radio on punto evo you got usb in standard radio
A stock radio can't output anything in comparison to a decent aftermarket radio! As in if you're upgrading your speakers at the very least you'll want to upgrade the headunit alongside
I screwed up the screws under the stereo grill, how could I recover them?
Do you mean you have over tightened them and so stripped the threads?
no, I have fallen the vines and I do not know how to recover them
PJs projects nothing?
So the screws have fallen behind the dashboard? if so try sticking a magnet to the end of a flexible rob to help fish them back out.
Whats the point in snipping the red wire ? Why not just put a bullet connector straight on to your switched live you've ran and plug it into the connector ?
I lost radio code can some help me to recover code plz
Try taking your vin number to the dealer to see if they have a record or failing that you would need to pay a decode service to clear it.
Everything is great!
My facia won’t just click in for some reason and it looks the same as everything else it’s the same as yours but still won’t click
Did you put the 3 metal clips on the back of the facia ?
I have a Fiat Punto EVO 2011 and looking for a radio replacement with android dab Bluetooth etc... And fast responsive touchscreen. I see a lot of adds offering radio for fiat Punto EVO 2012-2015 will this one also fit in my 2011 model.
Also is there one u can recommend I have so much choice and I am no expert so any help would be appreciated allot!
PS: I am looking to replace the factory speakers as well
@Charlie Harper i fitted one from Ali express, which was ok. It was arround 150$ but not very responsive and a little bit bugy. In the end it worked (Bluetooth music etc) but CarPlay didn't because it was to slow.
Definitely recommend buying one with a more expensive chip if u want to use all functionalities .
Car is sold now.
Mine won't come out
They can stick,try moving it from side to side slightly with the release keys in.
price
Sorry no idea,I have nothing to do with costs.
How many watts as this radio? Thanks
