Abstract

An interchangeable, two piece, adapter wire harness for installing different aftermarket autosound components in different vehicles, characterized by a fixed wiring scheme at an intermediate interconnect. A first piece of the interconnect is coupled by a first set of wires permanently to an autosound component-specific connector and a second piece of the interconnect is coupled by a second set of wires permanently to a vehicle wiring harness-specific connector. The set of possible separate autosound circuit functions is determined by those terminals corresponding to each circuit which are present at corresponding locations in both mated pieces.
