well, ive got an oldish pioneer deck to go in the car. (DEH P646)

now i dont wanna go chopping into the factory loom (no reason, jsut dont want to)

now ive heard you can get adaptors that plug into the factory headunit plug and then changes into a pioneer plug that will fit the headunit? is this true?

if so how much would i be looking at for one, and should any good car audio place stock them?

yes that is true. most places stock them, i had to get two adapters and join them together but thats still better than chopping the factory loom

either that or if u cant find one for ur specific model, grab any old falcon to iso or generic one with labled wires, and cut and strip the non-ford end

this way u keep ur loom in tact, and u just gotta connect ur wires as usual

If you cant find a falcon one, i believe the vn commodores had the same plug. I was going to put the commodore stereo (mitsubishi?) stereo in mine to see if it worked. Plugged in, didnt work :P Turns out theyre wired differently, but the plug is the same so you can rewire it from there. Thats for an eb anyway
