no i dont think so. as on vauxhalls these wires are backwards.
my first head unit was a panasonic one and it lost its memory all the time until i was told about this.

The odd thing is that if you buy the ISO adapter for corsas for your new H-unit the yellow and red are swapped around, so does that mean you can just use the original connector??? (The original and the new connectors are also the same shape and size!!)
