    Hi

    So I bought a new car stereo for my 01 Nissan micra, when I went to plug the power cable in to the new stereo I realised the connections are different, I'm at a loss as to what I'm going to need though, I'm hoping there's some sort of adaptor I can get, anyone come across this before?

    Pop down to halfords.
    They will have the adapters.

    They usually do. But only stereo specs to ISO specs.

    So OP more than likely needs ISO to car model specs.

    From what I gather, the op needs a loom adapter. They don't come with new head units. I assume it's got the original radio fitted so the connection at the end of the loom is usually different and in many cases will only match the factory head unit.
