They worked great- the metal is pretty stiff. That's the least of my worries: I think I've got all the harness wires on the way (I hope), but I have to pester my girlfriend to use her Amex to order the adapter from blitzsafe... They don't accept Visa or MC... There seems to be no on-line sourcing for it- when I called they suggested crutchfield, but they only carry the CD changer interfaces. I will have to be patient..
