Hi Guys

 

Just bought a new after market stereo and foolishly thought it would come with the plug on the cables. Long story short it didn't and I cant seem to find the adapter I need to fit.

Does anyone know how I can make sense of which cable is which on the car side so that I can just wire it myself? Or does anyone have any solutions for me? Ive added pictures to the link below to show you all the information I have.

Cheers in advance

    Info "borrowed" from James Simpson's site:
     
    There are many adapter cables available, especially for the standard ISO type radio connectors. But I can't see what sort of connector is on the stereo.
     
    A lot of the above pins are not essential. Start with the 4 speakers, Ground, Battery+ (B+ on your sheet) and Ign live (ACC on your sheet), all on connector A. This should get the unit basically working.
