If you have power and earth there, then it must be stereo. Remember that it should be 2 pins whit power, one for memory ho is always on, and one ho is conected to key in position 1, that switch your stereo on

As said you need two lives for the radio to work (Constant and Switched Live) if you have these along with a good earth theres no reason why it won't work unless radio itself has broken.
