Ebay or a good online car audio specialist

Or cut the plug off and hard wire it.

yeah it was connected to a sony head unit, but i am now thinking if the standard plugs are iso either someone has modd'd the loom or there is a connector hidden that has been pushed down there so  the radio goes?? so are all mk3 iso connections???
