Fit your aftermarket headunit to the stock harness.

Done.

nb. I have forgotten to take pics to illustrate the steps needed to install the aftermarket headunit I was installing. d'OH!
However, I will come back here and explain the wiring after I go back and take some more pics.
As I didn't buy a plug-n-play harness, I had to cut the stock wiring harness,spliced the wires and connected them up manually.


So, here's how the new aftermarket headunit (Kenwood) looks like after the install.

Hope this helps someone. :)
