you should have a wire plug that came with your aftermarket head unit and you should have bought a seperate wire harness kit that you need to crimp on to that and then the one you bought will plug into the factory harness that you unplugged from the back of the radio.

try to contact the manufacturer. either via their web site and if they cant help you maybe they can direct you to an authorized repair shop. try posting the brand and model number here and maybe someone has one or can help get one.

If your local audio shop carries that brand, they should have one, or you will have to buy one from the manufacturer like stated above. I know at the shop here it cost like 10-15 bucks, so thats probably what kinda price you will be looking at.

If it's a year or two old, depending on brand, it could be expensive. What brand is it? Pioneer ones cost around $35.

There is an E Bay seller and an old member from the old board that made it his business to sell wiring harness's.

Check E bay first. THen i would do a web search, you might get lucky.
