    assuming you have an ICE amp this is the connector wiring:

    for a car audio wiring harness to integrate an aftermarket radio into your vehicle's stock audio system.

    e.g. I needed a Metra 70-5519 for my 03 Mustang. Metra makes many harnesses for all different vehicles, so perhaps see if they make something for your car.

    He should be able to pop down any halford and get a hardness adapter > ISO, they are the same for most fords of that age. He'd still need to know which is wire is which though

    Didn't see his vehicle or location listed, and the color coding should be included with the harness.. at least for the Metra harnesses, the color coding is laid out on the packaging.

    I know he has a UK Focus and he is in london, I have read and answered questions of his before...

    mdray00, it would make it easier for everyone when you ask questions like this if you listed your vehicle/location in your profile!
