Pajero LWB Wagon, Power/economy what's that ???
I was incorrect in my opening post.

The Fujitsu 10 (or Matsushita) as I described is not a Fujitsu 10 product.
It looks nearly identical to the stereo in my wife's Camry but is not the same brand, I just assumed it was.
It is actually a Panasonic (which is a Matsushita product).
This won't affect my choice of installing the Eurovox.

For a bit of fun look up all the Electronic brand names you can think of (especially the cheap brands) at this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
You should be surprised at the different product names used by and traded under of some of them.
Some I knew like Acer/BenQ and Magnavox/Phillips but some were not expected.
Look up HMV and try to keep track of the associated companies.

Maybe something to do if you are bored.

Slightly different but in the same vein your IBM PC is more than likely an Acer PC with new clothes if it's two or more years old (manufacturing date not date purchased). It's not just cars that are badge engineered. I have known this for many years and always found it interesting when salesmen bagged Acer but touted the quality of the IBM at a 60% higher price until you removed the side and showed them the Acer mobo and identical parts.

Update: 10 minutes to dismantle my dash, 68 minutes to undo the screw on the drivers side facing towards the back of the car (needed an 8mm ring spanner I didn't have), 10 seconds to disconnect plug and aerial, 1 second to realise the plug differs from that on the other Eurovox system, 5 seconds to decide to fit the Pioneer unit without the stacker for now.
I'm off to wire up the Pioneer.

No. The one I wanted to fit didn't come with the plug.
I have actually refitted the original system instead of butcher the brackets.
I'll make up a loom using a dead Eurovox in the shed and connect the wires individually to the new deck. That way I won't have to remove the original plug.
Now I just have to work out which pin is for what.
The old Eurovox is marked on the board, easy, the new one with six extra pins is not.
Any knowledge on the Eurovox pin setup? There are 18 pins.
I'll try Google.

Edit: Found what I needed on the Eurovox Aus site.
