New Zetec S Stereo - Fitting Sub

Hey there.

I had a 58 plate Zetec and followed the guide on here to fit a sub and amp with the rca, phono converter thing. It all went well and worked for me for 3 years perfectly.

I now have a 12 plate Zetec S. The connectors on the back of the head unit are different and I just can't get the RCA converter cables into the back of it. The cables are a struggle to get in but just slide right back out once their in. I'm not really that good with my souldering abilities so don't fancy doing that.My old zetec didn't have this problem.

Has anyone fitted a sub and amp to the newer stereo? Or have an idea how to do it?

    That's the guide I followed for my previous car. But like I said, the back of the head unit is different.

    There's a big black cable and a big white cable on the left of the head unit. On the right is one big block with much smaller compartments to get the wires into.

    From 2010 onwards the stereo changed to a single block connector on the left rather than 2 in the middle.
