I am after a set of standard stereo plugs for a 3dr (both head unit and amp), or a complete loom that has these plugs on it.

I'm not sure i use the ones in mine as i don't have the amp plugged in nor the standard head unit in so they are just sitting behind the dash, does it come out as a complete loom?

The radio plug should be easy to get?

I would have thought so, any decent spec Sierra would have had the separate amp

Many thanks for the reply, the head unit and amp wires are part of a much bigger loom that feeds the dash area and beyond. What tends to happen a lot is people go for aftermarket head units and cut off the standard connectors and attach the connectors required for the after market units rather than trying to source a converter lead. My plan is to acquire just the standard connectors or a full loom (cut off the connectors) and attach them to the head unit and amp wires.

yes mate the full loom is pretty big as it goes to the arial and both the speakers in the rear ect

im sure its a 6 pin brown plug for the radio,,i will have a look if ive got one bud

I have uploaded both the head unit and amp photos now, I think the connector on the bottom left of your photo looks like the one I need for the head unit.

The amp needs a special lead to connect to the head unit (the circular connector on the back) You can get away with using spade connectors for the amp/headunit power. The 8 connections beside the two large spades on the amp are for the speaker outputs, again they have special connections, but IIRC they are just spade connectors.

The special round lead (I think its called a DIN cable??) is present in the loom just the head unit and amp connectors have been cut off. Using the correct connectors will make things easier.

That plug is wrong though? If you look at the connections on the headunit, you can see they don't match the plug pictured.

Checked my spares there (from a 4x4 Sapphire) but the plug is different on that too

Oh, it looked ok to me - 2 large connectors, 2 small connectors, and the shape of the connector block

If you compare the 3 small pins to the studs on the amp, you can see that one is in the wrong place. On my Sapphire one it uses all 3 small pins for some reason, one is grey and yellow which is usually illumination.

Yep can see that now, might it be possible to move the incorrectly positioned thin wire to the correct position within the body of the plastic block connector?????

chip RS

i recon you can you might have to gouge it out though

chip RS

theres 3 holes terminals for the small wires but only 2 are being used the middle hole has no wire coming from it,

chip RS

like you say bud just move one over job job'd
