I'm a little connfused, sounds like you need the adapter cable to connect the cars wiring in to the stereo's wiring? Is this right?

American head units come with bare ended wires instead of the ISO plug. I got a Ford - ISO adaptor and cut the ISO plug off. The wires were all labelled up so I just used the instructions and the wire labels :L

BTW, Do you know that american radios work slightly different to UK ones so you may not get all the stations. I had one a while back :L

Yep thats all i did with my hongkong one, just wired them into a strip connector, and works a treat,

buy an iso cable from ebay, got mine for about £1.50 and cut the end off, that way you still have your ford connector 1 to 6 are the speaker wires,

will have alook at my iso tonight to see if the writing was on that
