hey guys, im not sure if you can get these for third gens. but ive used them befor in my commodores. what i need is when you pull out the factory third gen headunit (tapeplayer) can you just unplug it then be able to buy a converter plug for the brand sterio that you buy? can you get these types of connectors? saves me splitting wires and soldering? thanks

You should be able to pick them up at most reputable car audio stores. Eaglerock18 had one in her car when we had the clarion deck installed.

Yeah mate, there by aeropro.
Look up the model of your car and match with the brand of stereo.
Though I'm not sure how many stereo brands aeropro support

if it ment id have to but the sterio for the cord eg brand (jvc or something) willing to do it. its for my girlfriends new th magna :D bought it today

Call up you local JB HiFi, Supercheap, Autobarn, etc and see what Aerpro items they've got in stock or can order in for you.

I'm pretty sure you want 2 items - a (insert headunit brand here, JVC?) to ISO and then an ISO to TH/2000(?) Mits. Magna.
Around the $20 mark.

I was looking for a Kenwood to ISO or bare wires connector, JB were about $16, but none in stock, Supercheap and Autobarn were about $21 and only one had stock.
The specialist car audio shops that I checked out all had their own installers and none of these loom adapters - because they want to charge the customers the $$ for installing, not hand them a plug & play cable. :)

Have fun - I've just started my installation. Bugger of a job. hehe

thanks oggy. also whats the go on takeing out the stock HU? when i changed mine it was aftermarket and just slid out haha. do i have to take most of the center dash out? air vents panal around shifter etc?

erk, there's a couple of recent threads with some quick instructions on how to do this on 3rd gens, but I'm still a little confused on the best way to get the head unit out.

You do need to remove the panel around the shifter, but I can't remember about air vents.

I have removed the panels around the shifter and ashtray section and added pics to my members machine thread. They may help, especially if your power window controls are in the doors. If they are behind the gear lever, find those other threads for more appropriate pics.

But my install is currently happening in the boot, so it might be a few days before I reach the headunit.
