Wiring problem

[lire100]

i have a tipo and the the car's wiring harness for the head unit is different from the one on the kenwood radio... (see pic)

so on Just Kenwood i found an adaptor. do you recommend it? has anyone tried it? is the web site a good one? thank you!

Might sound a bit stupid as i dont really understand ur post, but why not just get the adapter from halfords! All that is is a standard ISO adapter.

the ISO will cost £13.99 at Halfords you may want to try www.maplin.co.uk same iso tenner cheaper

ok thanks for the replies. now i have another question it might be stupid since i haven't looked into it closely yet (maybe next week i'll have more time) but my new head unit has the "entrance" for the radio antenna cable on the left, on the old one it was on the right. so the cable comes down inside the central part of the car (where the head unit is) from the right side so it doesn't quite seem to reach the left side of my new head unit. any ideas? chenge the cable? add a piece?

(i realize i have explained all this in an awful way :-(, sorry)

First of all try pulling the antenna cable a bit as it might just be tangled. Try fitting it before you go out and buy the following parts, but you can buy a right angled arial adapter that will mean you can put the wire in from the side and give that extra bit of space. If this is still quite a way from fitting, then just buy a small arial extension cable. All of these are available from Halfrauds, but as 'Shadders' said u might find it cheaper in maplins. Hope this helps. Dan

yeah but he is based in italy when you consider airfares then halfords or maplins will probably cost more
