Please, please, please can somebody help me!!!

I want to install an aftermarket stereo in my K1 and i am thoroughly confused what connectors i need.
Do i need a CAN BUS connector to connect the stereo, and a CAN BUS connector to connect the steering wheel controls??
I have searched through threads on here and have got more confused.
This is a link to a connector for the head unit (i think):

This is a link to a connector for the steering controls (i think):
http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=CTSST001

This is a patch lead for the steering control on the head unit (JVC for mine):

Am i right in thinking i need all these leads to install the head unit with steering controls still working?

Its over £100 in connectors!!!

hi,

I have all the connectors you need for sale, as my old leon was written off and my new one has bluetooth so i'm not changing it.

pm me for details, or check the sales section. i've only just posted the ad so it will take a few hours I presume, to be authorised. . .

they're all for JVC as well, do you already have the headunit? as I've got a mint JVC double din unit for sale as well, about 1 month old!!
