Hi there,

I did a bit of a search before posting but no joy unfortunatly. I was someone could help by telling me what this connector is called and where I can get it. To me it looks like what I would describe as a 20 pin female DIN plug. It is attached to a McIntosh car head unit and connects to a McIntosh amp. I am trying to purchase this connector so I can connect a standard head unit without having to chop the original and re-wire it just in case I'd like to put the original head unit back in at some point.



Non of the usual car audio sources know about it, I don't seem to be able to find it for sale anywhere else but Alibaba and some of the other wholesalers (And even then I can only find it as a PCB mount component)

Any hel/alternatives you guys could offer would be appreciated. Thanks,

Probs

 

hi P,
Check out these Cannon connectors.

Hi Eric

I've tried those but nothing seems to match the key on the side. The key looks like a DIN style key rather than a mil or IP type connector.

Any other thoughts?

Cheers

What make/model car is this connector connected to?

 

What make/model car is this connector connected to?

Hi, It's a Subaru Legacy 2004 BP5 JDM import. It's a McIntosh/Clarion factory stereo.

 

Proprietary version of a standard product, probably not available to standard distribution channels. A car audio dealer might be able to tell you if it is an industry standard or something private to McIntosh. Also, contact the big mac directly.

Hi AnalogKid. That was my worry. I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. Looks like a standard component which is irritating. Really didn't want to cut the factory pig tails.

 

Check the aftermarket head unit suppliers in the country where it was originally sold new.

Those guys need to sell the adapters in order to sell their radios.

 

Hi GopherT, It's a JDM market car and is now 12 years old which is making that search a little tricky. Still looking but no joy yet. I wanna know where they get these weird connectors from
