I just received yet another box with radio and amplifiers and cables for a P80. It includes a Dolby Amp (which is really the only part I wanted) and an SC-901 with the main amp and connecting cable. But in the box came 2 sets of cables which look like they connect to the back of a head unit and then both sets connect together.

Anyone have any idea what they are for?

They look unused so have no idea what they are for?

Now I just have to test all this stuff and get it up for sale. Also discovered I also have at least another 6 untested amps and probably the connector cables as well. Again need to get these tested and moved on! Probably have other head units somewhere in the stash too! :o :lol: :lol:

The black/brown connectors are ISO connectors for head units, the standard for aftermarket stuff.
So these are probably adapters to fit an aftermarket head unit

Great work Goupil! I was thinking the same but had no real idea! Good to know now and will keep in case the 'boss' want's to swap the 'R' head unit to a bluetooth item.

Thanks,

Neil.
