Stinger CPLEAD SWC Universal Head Unit Patch Lead

The Missing Link for Your SWC Install Universal, Compact, Plug & Play

Product Overview

The Stinger CPLEAD is a 30cm universal patch lead designed to connect Stinger Australia SWC interfaces to popular aftermarket head units. Whether you're completing a fresh install or replacing a damaged or missing lead, the CPLEAD provides the final connection between your steering wheel control interface and the head unit keeping everything plug-and-play.

For more versatile applications, the connector can be removed to convert the CPLEAD into a 3.5mm to bare wire harness, enabling use with head units or interfaces that require a direct wire connection rather than a standard plug. It's a simple accessory that solves a common install problem cleanly.
