    A little help with the stereo plug (factory)

    Hi all.

    Was hoping someone could help out with something fairly simple. I had a stereo installed years ago and am going through the process of upgrading it. I've since found out that the stock stereo plug was cut out, and the headunit was wired in directly

    What I wanted to do was:

    - Get a new plug, guessing its an iso adapter or something and should be able to get a replacement fairly easily?
    - Get a photo of a factory plug for the wiring colors
    - Using the above two, then get an auto electrician to fix it if its more complicated than basic soldering.

    I've already got a converter plug as mentioned in the stereo threads here so I can go headunit -> converter -> car factory plug so if I can get the above, all should be well

    I should have been a little clearer. Does anyone have a photo of the stock connector which shows the wiring colors? or a wiring diagram for it?

    cheers

    The trouble with going back to the factory ISO plug is you'll need to buy a handful of repair wires from VW with the correct terminals on them.

    I'd say it'd be easier to continue the trend in this instance, and hack the plug out of a wreck.

    Cheers mate. I'll see if i can track one down. Worst case I can just leave it like it is and just get the new deck wired in directly.
