Might be better off in General Gassing, but I thought I would pop it on here (please do move it if I am wrong!)

The tape player on my stereo keeps switching sides, making ipod entertainment tricky. My uncle has given me an old stereo system of his own, so I tried to fit it.

I managed to get the whole thing out without breaking anything, disconnected the old stereo, only to find that the wires aren't compatible!

The plug on my new stereo looks like this:



What can I do, short of rewiring the whole thing (I wouldn't know where to start!) or throwing away my new stereo?

Cheers!

Buy a wiring harness adapter for about a tenner. You can get them online, or Halfords usually stock quite a few types.
