Went to install a head unit today in my vx ss have come to realise once I’ve taken it out they have changed the factory plug to one to suit the head unit so plug and play will not work what would be the easiest thing to do take it to a auto sparky get him to change the plugs around? The small plug is the one they have changed it to the big one is supposed to be the factory plug

Op doesn’t have the factory plug though.

If you aren’t confident with changing the plug, it will be a straight forward easy job for a sparkie to sort.

If you take it to an auto electrician ask him if he uses heat shrink.
Some just use crimp joiners and they look ugly I use heat shrink.

Just looked at the pictures again. Have we all missed a trick here? On that second plug (the one with female pins), is that actually two plugs? The top edge looks odd for a single plug. Looks like an adaptor plug pushed into another plug.

Yes, thats what it looks like to me. A adaptor.
Now he just needs the correct adaptor for his new h/u.

So your saying you are putting the factory unit back in or are you fitting a new aftermarket one? Depends on what your working with, if its the factory unit then you will need the factory harness so its a matter of getting one from the wreakers and solder and heat shrink to your matching wire colours. If its a new after market unit and you have the plug and play then your best bet is to cut both harnesses off and hard wire them using solder and heat shrink.
If your not comfortable doing it Autobarn can fit it..
