If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

I wud say its the iso connector i have a pioneer in mine and don't have any issues the only thing i had to do was reverse the permanent live and ignition around to keep the memory.
If it ain't green and black send it back :D

I'd take it to an auto elecy tbh, I hate working with electrics, but ie red and yellow wires you swap these because most aftermarket radios have there lives wired different to the corsa so swapping them corrects this

Right the reason for that is on mine it wouldn't keep the memory everytime i took the key out

Also last resort to this problem and i do stress this is to basically to rewire the speakers to the stereo and buy an iso connector to get them all working again but as i sed this is the last resort. I ave done this in the past for others and is very time consuming
