Hi guys,

 

Hope you're all well.

 

So its soon the day when I'm going to replace the radio on my car for a double din radio unit.

 

My only concern is that the stock harness on the car looks like the images below

.

 

They seem strange, as taking a look at universal adaptors for the mk1, it seem like the metal pieces inside are normally supposed to be like this:

 

 

 

Can anyone assist? 

 

Will the fact that the whole for the pins are in the wrong place, be too much of a big deal? will it stop the radio from working entirely etc.

 

The radio I'm getting is the XAV-XA1000

 

Many thanks,

You shouldn’t need an adapter. The wiring harness with the headunit will connect directly to the ISO connections on your car.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the quick response!

 

So even with the ISO connections being weirdly placed (so 2x2 in the middle on the brown one, and then 4 across and 3 across on the black one) it wont make a difference with the functionality of the radio?

 

 

That's an image from the unboxing with the harness from the radio itself I found, and as you can see that one has a row of 8, and then a row of 2 and three (with 3 missing)

 

You reckon that wouldn't effect the functionality of the radio? Or any problems it might have?

 

Many thanks,

The brown one is speakers, you only have 2x2 as you only have fronts.

Again, thank you so much for the quick reply!

 

With regards to the black harness from my car, any idea what the one missing pin is for?

 

Many thanks
