Hi American friends, I need some help !
I bought a new doble din radio with dvd, gps, d-tv....
The problem is that the connector on the back of the radio is different from the one on my Smart Car so I bought an adaptor, but I don't know how to do wire connections...

Could somebody help me ?

Thank you and sorry for my bad english...

The company that makes the adapter should be able to help.

This is the "electrical scheme" of my radio:

These are the radio wires:

And this is the adapter I boght:

Now the problem is how to connect the radio wires with the adapter wires ?

No idea if this Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia can help. Worth a try?

Unfortunately no, I can not find correspondences between the wiring of the radio and the one on the scheme...

Uuh.... you'd use that just like any other wiring harness for any other radio. Each wire on the harness for the radio (Picture 2) itself has a label wrapped around the end, as does each wire on the harness that get's attached to the connectors on the stock radio (Picture 3). All you should need to do is solder (or use wire crimps) the corresponding wires together (Which i think even goes color-to-color... might want to check that).... then plug the end from picture 2 into the radio, and the two plugs from the stock radio into the connector on picture 3. The only confusing wire is i believe the blue one(s).
