Default Relocating Headunit

Ok, so i wanna move my headunit into my glovebox (assuming it fits, lets hope)

Is there a wire harness extension i could get somewhere? Or do i have to cut every wire and just splice longer wires into them?

Or do you know where I can get just these end pieces circled, so i can make my own harness "extension"

take some measurements, talk to those who have done it before in your car. Good luck!

Default You don't really have to replace the HU.

You may also consider the option to leave your HU and put the Car PC in the glove box.
For that you will have to buy the adapter. I have found one here:

It is not an expensive option to avoid the tonns of wiring.<ul><li><a href="http://indashpc.org/new/adapters/usbvag.html">http://indashpc.org/new/adapters/usbvag.html</a</li></ul>
