Business Radio, pin type

[Jeff]

Guys, I hope someone can help please. I'm interested to know if someone can tell me whether the Business radio in our CSL's has the round type pins or the blade type pins please. It would help me ordering an ISO connector so I'm ready when the radio comes out.

Cheers!

Jeff

Jeff, I had mine out not long ago to fit an iPod connection but I can't for the life of me remember if it was Round pin or square pin. I will ask the guy who supplied and fitted the connector.

Sure someone will be along before long to tell you though. I think its square but I'm probably wrong.

no pins you take the trim off above the glove box then the trim round the radio then there are screws holding the radio in :thumbs:

To get the trim off it just pulls off it can be tight

Thanks. No I mean the wiring pins, ie the ones that provide the electricity to the head unit. So I don't have to butcher the harness to install a new head unit I need to know the electrical pin type so I can purchase the right ISO adapter....

So, just to confirm chaps. After a long trawl though old posts since I was unable to use the search function, I'm needing to know that the back of the standard, 2003 Business Stereo in our cars is the round pin type as oppose to the flat pin type?

I can see form above it is, so I don't even know why I am asking again. Just for the craic I suppose. It's the luxury of being able to post again going to my head I suppose!
