Amplifier Bypass Cable

This is for convertible cars only. A different bypass cable is available for coupe cars.

Universal Patch Lead

Universal patch lead to be used with In car Tec 29- series steering wheel control interfaces. This cable plugs into the ICT control box and connects to the 3.5mm socket or single wire on the back of the new head-unit.
