Toyota 12pin connector adapter (new to old)

madvinegar · 01-25-2008, 03:30 AM

Dear all good day,

First of all congratulations for an excellent forum.

I need your assistance.

I have a toyota corolla E12, model march 2004. It is the pro-facelift version.
My head-unit is a panasonic/matsusita W58807.
I have recently bought an xcarlink so as to connect it to the headunit and be able to play Mp3.
The problem is that my headunit has the old (large) Toyota version plug for the old 12pin connector while the xcarlink is provided with the new (small) toyota 12pin connector.
I am desperately trying to find an adapter which will change the new connector to the old connector. In other words, I want an adapter with male large old 12 pin connector and female small new connector.
I am attaching a photo (which I have sent also to the person I bought the xcarlink) for assistance.
Can anyone please help? I will appreciate any kind of assistance.

Michael

It sounds like the vendor sent you the wrong part, perhaps for a different model year.

If they are an honorable vendor, they should exchange for the correct part.
If not, there are sources for the correct part. I'd look at audio shops, either physcal or online.

Good luck.

I have found on the net something that might do the trick...

I have ordered it from E-bay and I will try it. In case it works I shall let you know.
