I certainly *do* hope that once sleds go on sale for real on the SONICblue eStore, sometime this coming winter, that they come with a female ISO/DIN connector. At least on this side of the pond, these connectors are hard to acquire. Crutchfield does include such a connector in some of their harness adapters, but it is male (meant to adapt aftermarket head units to Euro harnesses); they have no listing for the requisite female connector. Likewise CarToys and many other install shops that I polled over the course of 3 days.
If, like me, you have acquired a second sled on the ever-expanding black market, you may thus find yourself at the local VW junkyard snipping such a connector out of a wrecked Jetta. When you decide that the junkyard connector is just too corroded to allow you to sleep soundly at night, you may pay the VW dealer $26.20 U.S. for a new part #200-098-606-C radio connector kit (which you will still need to hack to get the pins right!).
So, when sleds are delivered from the eStore, they'll come with the female connector, right?
(Tony, I am only half serious about the blinking lights. I have figured out, though, how to fit a cheap particle beam weapon into the pocket wired to the alarm system. Stay tuned).
