Wiring help, PLEASE :\

[redfordrj]

Hi there, my stereo knackered out in my Evo 5. So I went and purchased a new 1 today, but the problem that I'm having is that the old connector was 16 pins (from a Clarion head unit) and the connection on the back of the new head unit is only an 8 pin (Philips). I have looked about the internet but not been able to find an adaptor to convert it to the new stereo.



This is the 16 pin connector:

this is what it went in to:

and I need to convert it to this:

If anyone knows where to buy an adaptor, I would be so grateful. Thank you all for your time

You will find it in halfrauds I would guess, if not I would be inclined to just hard wire it in with ball connectors

I picked up my stereo from my local Halfords today, as they have a pretty good sale on at the moment. When in there, the bloke that deals with all that, said that the sell them, but not for imports. I had a look at the wiring behind the stereo and I haven't got a clue what was done previously, as there are already 2 different adaptors on there and I'm not the best when it comes to this kind of thing. I will have a shop about and if I have no luck, then I will get someone to wire it in for me

Imports are no different, halfords employ people that dont know anything and BS there way out of situations like that.

Id try another retailer, there must be a specialist audio shop in your area?

Yeah, I kind of knew he was talking nonsense but I didn't want to argue in the shop. I will have to use my friend 'google' to find any local places. I've never come across any in my travels, but there usually are one or 2 kicking about in towns/cities
