The Stinger CPLEAD is a 30cm universal patch lead designed to connect Stinger Australia SWC interfaces to popular aftermarket head units. Plug-and-play with no modification required for standard installations. The connector can be removed to convert the CPLEAD into a 3.5mm to bare wire harness for head units or interfaces requiring a direct wire connection. Suited as a replacement for a lost or damaged patch lead or as a workshop spare.
The CPLEAD provides the final connection between the Stinger SWC interface and the head unit's SWC input in a steering wheel control retention install. At 30cm it sits neatly within a standard dash cavity without excess cable to manage. The lead is compatible with popular branded aftermarket head units and all current Stinger Australia HR-series install kits.
For applications where a direct wire connection is needed rather than a standard plug, the connector can be removed to repurpose the CPLEAD as a 3.5mm to bare wire harness, expanding its usefulness across a wider range of installs.
