Can whip 1 out of my cars and see what happens :y

Ok mate  :y

I dont see what the issue is with using aftermarket h/units though . I can easily swop it for a brand new Alpine unit but what difference is that going to make  :-\ :-\

The issue is that you need to find which pin your new HU uses for 'Antenna' or 'Ant' so it can power up the aerial amplifier.

The basic ISO connectors (speakers & power) don't vary much from manufacturer to manufacturer (except that VX swap the switched feed  ::))

Ok Andy thanks . So it could be possible that a different aftermarket head unit would indeed work . May just be the physical connections .

Hmm, swapping random parts. The chances of it miraculously having the correct wiring are close to zero.

How about you tell us what model HU so we can check the pin outs?

The adaptor lead would have cost less than the fuel and buggering about time had you bought one with the radio...

Would/should have been plug and play ::)
