Hi all,

I've been looking for an ISO wiring adapter for my E30 so I can fit my spare JVC head unit.

I need a connector that has flat pins to fit into the wiring in my car but all the leads I can find have round pins...

I need one of these with flat pins like this:

With these on the other end...

I have all the necessary bits but they aren't wired to each other and it'd be a messy job to wire them up to be what I need so I'm looking to be able to buy one off the shelf from somewhere - anyone know where I can get one? Links would be perfect :thumb:

Don't worry about it fellas, the top pic turns out to basically be exacly the same as the back of my head unit so i just plugged the wiring harness that's in my dash directly into the head unit and hay-presto!

I was going to say, the connectors in both pictures seem to be the opposite of each other...

looks like it has been wired-in by someone at some point but done very well.
