Erm no, we're not going to provide the other side of the connector. The point is that ISO connectors are built in to most modern cars, and if they're not then you need a specific adapter to mate with the non-standard connector in your car.

This isn't a UK standard, it's a world wide automotive standard. Of course it wouldn't surprise me if US manufacturers are not complying, but Ford certainly do (along with most other manufacturers who buy ancilliaries from Visteon), and imported brands are likely to as well.

I'm not at all convinced that you can't buy the connectors from car audio suppliers in the US - practically every after market head unit uses them. Crutchfield even have a picture of one on the front page of their car products section:



Those two connectors on the right hand side are an ISO connector, and the empeg car uses only one of them (the other one is for amplified speaker signals). It seems that Cruthfield sell these for practically every US car (that doesn't use them as standard) under the sun. If you can't get an adapter for your car, just buy any adapter and chop off the non-ISO end to get bare cables - or chop the connector off the empeg docking cage, whichever you prefer.
