of what i used or what i did?
RadioShack.com - Cables, Parts & Connectors: Connectors & connectivity: D-Sub connectors: 9-Position Female Crimp D-Sub Connector
that is what i used. in the package are little female connectors. used those to replace the adapter all together. just crimped those females to the 4 wires and attached them to the male pins behind the unit. to get pictues of the final would mean id have to take the dash apart again which is not much fun.
