Renault - Alpine ISO Adapters?

[lamborgini8]

Does anyone know what ISO adapter I need to fit an Alpine head unit into my Mk2 Ph1 Clio? I done a search on ebay and it was coming up with a few for really old bangers or the old mark 1 Clios.

should be the std plug and play far as i can remember

Ouch ok, it was delivered not long after I posted this... I just had a look and it would actually be easier to wire spaghetti, its far from plug and play.

Here's some of the pictures...

I am totally confused, it looks like I have to cut all the wires off the original leads which is the last thing I want to do.

You should have a wiring harness that came with the alpine headunit, with one end that goes into the plug on the back, and then it splits into two plastic iso plugs, to connect to the car loom?

The one on the right will be the auxilliary input, the round one on the right is the aerial plug.

If you didn't get one you'll need one of these:

Looking at your picture I think its the bottom one.

Thanks guys, I figured this out now. It's only taken an hour or 2... or maybe 3 haha!

Yeah it came with a cable as you described with 1 plug for the head unit that splits into 2. There was just a bit of extra wiring to do on the lead that came with it which is apparently for cars that arn't quite fully ISO standard.

 

[James28]

Ah sweet. Glad you got it sorted mate.

 

[lamborgini8]

Cheers mate.

Turns out Mk2 Clios do have standard ISO connectors in them already.

Nothing too special but pictures to follow later tonight

 

[James28]

inddeed they do.

 

[lamborgini8]

It's done! It sounds and looks awesome...

Now does anyone have a spare 30 fuse sitting around? I blew mine in the process...

 

[hipwell]

my old alpine in my old mk2 clio used to blow the fuse as soon as i turned the volume so just put a tad higher fuse in there.

 

[lamborgini8]

Mine blew because I made a foolish mistake.

The power cable has a rubber cap missing on the connector which shorted out on the metal cage and blew the fuse taking out the interior lights, sound system and the dash screen.

I only had a 25 fuse spare so I have used that and so far so good, I need to get another 30 asap though.
