heh...i just had to pull on the face abit and it came out...I guess it wasnt locked in to begin with. There are two connectors on the factory stereo, one going to the amp and the other to the equalizer. Now, instead of cutting off those and splicing it together with my Blaupunkt, can I just buy a conversion kit or a connector? Something that I can slap on the back of my Blaupunkt and hook them up to the existing cables, which run to the amp and equalizer?
