Wire harness adaptor (Pioneer DEH-P7500MP vs Mazda MX-3)
Sigh. I need to connect my new Pioneer to my old Mazda, and they just
won't work together I got an Mazda - ISO adaptor from the local shop, which would "fit in 96% of the new stereos". Well it seems mine is one of the lucky 5%? The kit has two 8 pin connectors, while my Pioneer has one smaller 16 pin connector. Is this a new Pioneer thing? Are there Mazda adaptors available for this newer connector? Adaptor from the ISO connectors to the Pioneer connector? Do I need to start matching indiviual wires? TIA Anders |

The way it's supposed to work is the harness you buy fits into the car's
existing harness. The wires that come out of the end of it need to be butt connected to the wires on the Pioneer harness. Then you can plug one end into the car and the other end into the Pioneer. Metra has the exact harness you need. www.metraonline.com Paul Vina "Anders Breivik" wrote in message om... Sigh.

Thanks. Anders |

They don't do it that way because they'd need to make a herness for every
car/radio combination on the planet and thet would be a bit cost prohibitve. Paul Vina Actually, I would have thought that someone would have produced a 2x8pin ISO - 16pin Pioneer adaptor. But if not, butt connecting it is. Thanks. Anders |
