Hello all...

I'm replacing the head unit on my 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Spyder and I'm having a little difficulty getting the information I need. I have the OEM Infinity sound system right now. On the back it has 4 connectors. One is the antenna, one is the CD changer. The third is a 14 pin connector which I have a diagram for and carries things like audio out, power in, antenna trigger, ...etc. The fourth I cannot find any information on. It is a 6 pin circular din connector that goes to the amp. I'm assuming it has control lines for things like turning the amp on and off. Does anyone know the pin out for this connector?

if you plan to use the factory amp and speakers you'll need an adapter for that connector to your aftermarket radio's RCA pre-outs
Metra or PAC make these adapters I believe, as well as changer adapters if the radio has CD changer controls

Does anybody have one of these adapters already, and if so, would they mind telling me which pins go to what?
