Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	Anyone have any idea if this is the correct part for the sled wiring harness? This would be the plug that fits into the Riocar harness recepticle. http://www.installer.com/item/display_item.php?it=71-1784 Although doubled, it looks correct. And the recepticle portion, http://www.installer.com/item/display_item.php?it=70-1784 Attachments 288917-71-1784.jpg (121 downloads) Edited by Mach (17/10/2006 00:05)

They're really not common at all in the US. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	Thanks Rob, I just went to installer.com store in Houston and they couldn't get their head around what it was that I wanted. I pulled a Metra Kit part number from an old post - Metra 71-1784 and a web xref to BestKits BHO-1784 VW 87-up OEM Radio plug. Edited by Mach (17/10/2006 00:09)

The other half is the ISO connector with all the speaker outputs. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday

Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	Confirmed. Metra 71-1784 or BHO-1784 can be used as a replacement or addition to the car harness (not the empeg harness). As Andy pointed out, there are 2 plugs in the the kit but they are keyed differently and only the black one is needed for the empeg. I was able to find the kit by searching on Ebay for BHO1784.
