Help please!

They say every day is a school day, and I just took an hour and a half to find out why it's so rare to find an EP3 with a third-party head unit. After removing that final God-forsaken screw, I tried to fit my Philips CEM3000B head unit, and it quickly became apparent that the wiring doesn't fit! Does anybody happen to know where I can get the correct fitting?

Thanks.

Halfords. You just need the right harness adapter.

The Autoleads model is PC2-68-4. That's the harness adapter. Depending on the type of aerial connector on your aftermarket, you may need another adapter.

Thanks guys, I bought it from Halfords so I'll ask them tomorrow. Boy do I wish I'd paid them £30 to fit it... I'd have had my money's worth there!

Halfrauds will charge 16 quid for the adaptor mate, 2.50 off eBay I paid the other week http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 0699711739

Balls, too late! Thanks for the thought though.

The standard fascia looks untidy, so next month I'll fork out for the third party one.
