Having sorted out a few issues on another thread, I thought I had my head unit installation licked, however I now find that what looks like a straight fit ISO plug connection on my Pioneer DeH8600 head unit doesn't fit the ISO plug adaptor on the car loom.
The adaptor loom came with the car and was previously plugged into the back of a Kenwood CD player that came with the car. This headunit is broken though - it won't respond to any button presses on the unit. It does play the radio channel it's set to perfectly though, so the connections are ok.
So, I took a 6 year old Pioneer unit that I had from my previous car and thought it should be a straight swap, just unplug the Kenwood and plug in the Pioneer, but the plug socket on the Pioneer, whilst being the same size as the one on the loom and the same pin arrangement (two rows of eight pins) seems to have thicker pins than the Kenwood, and the plug won't push on to them, even with a bit of effort.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is, or a possible solution please?
