peter richards Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 picked up an oldish alpine today , but cant seem to fit it , got the harness , but no power to the unit that seems to be coming from another smaller block plus the ariel doesn't fit back of the alpine connections in the dash the smaller block seems to have the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 By the look of it, someone has already been playing with the stereo harness. You need a different adapter lead to go from the universal stereo ISO connectors on your Alpine harness to the factory wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 the black one on the left wasn't plugged into anything but the other ones were, two white blocks and the ariel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 the big white one fits but the power is in the smaller block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 It's hard to tell from your pic of the factory loom (too bright and I cant see the pins) but does this look like it would work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T1-Audio-T1-12-Mitsubishi-MK1-GTO-1990-On-Car-Stereo-Radio-ISO-Harness-Lead-/301235746930?hash=item46230cb872 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 yes I think so the bit on the top will pick up the smaller power block , the rest is the same as what ive got I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yeah, just double check the number of pins matches, size and shape of the blocks etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 ok thank you , would they sell them in Halfords as I could go and check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 They should, but it's a pretty uncommon type so smaller stores may not have them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 ok what about the ariel connector that will need an adaptor as well, if you look at the first pic of the back of the alpine which is the ariel , can you see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
