is it a corsa c you have? upto 03/04 it should be standard iso so the alpine loom should plug straight in (if it hasnt been hacked about)
03/04 onwards you will need an autoleads PC2-85-4 have a look here its the one right at the bottom

if its a corsa B it should be a standard iso plug and the alpine loom should plug straight in (if it not been butchered)

erm, the vauxhall iso connector is sqaure and the alpine headunit i have has a rectangle slot in the back, i cant see how anythings been butchered because the corsa i had before had the same iso connector from the car, the headunit ive got just seems to have a different connection to most headunits??

Ok, you should have a separate wiring loom in the box then, that connects from the Vauxhall to the Alpine connectors. It will have the right one for the Vauxhall ISO on one end, and a small rectangle on the other end, about the size of 1/2 the ISO, but with 16 pins in if I remember rightly.
Don't forget to swap the red and yellow around as well to keep the settings.

Halfords can order them in for you, but they are £29.99 and only special order, so you would be waiting until at least Tuesday now.

the headunit was my dads at first but he only had it in his car for a day because he didnt get on with it, it was givemn to him from his insurance, i think he must have left the alpine adaptor connected to his car.

Yea, if thats the case, then you will have to get another one.
Look on ebay if you don't mind waiting, its a lot cheaper!
