    cheapie head unit install

    so i bought a ebay 9 inch head unit . last time i did this all you could get was a radio with tape deck , thigs have changed a bit since then .
    It's got 4G ram with 32G memory ,reverse cam gps etc; but pretty much no install documentation . so here goes . First up a pic of the new head unit beside the old radio. the new one comes with a new trim surrounds .

    then a pic of the bluetooth mic , gps antennae and wifi antennae.

    first question . the bluetooth mic wire is about 2.5 meters long , and , i only need about 500mm . can i cut and solder it shorter , or is that a nono , because maybe it is a centre wire with a wire sheath , or would it just be 2 wires .
    Next question . where would be the best place to put the gps and wifi antennaes . If you see the pic's below you will see i am holding them up near the top corners because the wires are not long enough to move them closer to the centre . but i will put one either side. .P9070386.JPG
