Help with ISO connector
Discussion
Hi all
Being lazy and looking to shortcut this. I recently bought a modern head unit for my Range Rover classic I’ve just finished restoring. The original factory stereo lights up but does no more, it’s just dead.
I expected it to come with some form of cable to adapt to the car. But it hasn’t.
Pictures below, but the stereo is 2 connectors with 8 pins, but my car has 1 8 pin and 1 10 pin??
If anyone can help me find the right adapter I would be very grateful. It’s a minefield out there.

Never messed with stereo's before. is it just a case of cutting and colour matching wires? Weird thing is, fitted was a FACTORY stereo!! So no real reason for someone to have chopped the loom
Is this on a P38 with the Clarion factory headunit and amplifier? If so, you'll need one of these: https://incartec.co.uk/product/range-rover-amplifi...I think the loose RCA cable will need to go to the subwoofer output on the new headunit but I'm not 100%. You'll also need to ensure the blue remote turn on cable on the adapter harness is connected to the remote/antenna output on the new headunit as well as the amplifier wont turn on otherwise.
Edit: re-read the OP and the only adapters I can see for a Range Rover classic are for much older looking round pin connectors like the below. Is it possible LR put P38 bits in?

Furry muff, was just suspicious about the tape on the loom.
ETA.
The other benefit of doing it like this is you can end up with a much tidier job because it certainly looks like somebody had done it before on that wiring.
Perhaps an aftermarket one was previously fitted & then returned to standard for selling.
Yes you may be right. I did think this after i replied. perhaps the factory radio was dead, someone stuck and after market in with a harness, then took that out and put the dead unit back before sellingETA.
