ISO Adaptor - is one required ?

[lewisy]

Having read various threads, it seems that an ISO adaptor is needed to convert the Honda socket to an ISO one compatible with an after market head unit. However, my friend who had a type-R said Honda has a ISO type connector as standard. He did buy his car from Belgium whether that makes a difference ?

So what's the deal on this ? is one needed or not ?

Cheers, Lewis

Yes you do.

The CTR for mainland europe doesn't use an OEM h/u, IIRC they fit aftermarket ones at the dealers. So thats why it'll have an ISO plug. :wink:
