Purchased a Sony MP30 head unit and a wire harness to go with it.
Now I haven’t installed a head unit in many years, so I assumed the wire lead would plug into the Scooby's and then all I would need to do is crimp the relevant wires to the Sony ones.
When I looked at the lead it has connectors both sides, surly this doesn't just plug together both sides?. 15 min later my head unit is installed, the best £10 I've ever spent.
Cheers.
Ian.

15 minutes with a wiring adaptor? did that include 12 minutes to make and drink the tea? D)

Agree wholeheartedly, these make life sooo much easier. Fitting a CD player to an old spitfire last weekend, I remember how hard installations used to be, and how easy we have it now.

I *think* it was a roadstar player . Was the first one I'd seen for under 100 quid, and, well, when you're 17 it's just got to be done . The capacitor in the power line made a great fizzing noise...

Yes mate, Roadstar, the quality of youth, lol, mine had a top security feature that the buttons would pop off rather than having to pull the unit out in those days
