help

just been to halfords and they told me the bad news

the company who installed my head unit in 2002 hard wired the alpine connector onto the loom and not put an ISO connector on it

solutions

2 really

1) buy another alpine to fill the gap
2) cut the wires and make up the connector myself


great  

[ChrisW]

don't they do an alpine to iso adaptor lead instead?

[ChrisW]

or just get an 'any other' to iso adaptor and butcher that into the alpine lead?

[strapping young lad]

yeh but i dont know the colour coding of the cabl though

any hints?

[Andy.]

Just an idea have you tried Maplins, there good on auto leads.

If you look CLOSELY on the wiring from the alpine connection to the join into the loom,it SHOULD tell you what each wire is for,,

on the sony lead that im looking at just now it goes:(on Power plug 4 wires )
black is earth
red is power
yellow is switched power
blue is antenna power up

(on speaker plug 8 wires)
