Default harness conversion kit actually work?

stock stereo sounds beat.....2000 disco 11 with alpine deck.
have read and read but really can't seem to find if one of these plugs actually works with a new head unit while using original amp and speakers.
see link here :

Landrover Radio w Amp Integration Wire Harness Plug | eBay


and post comments , thanks

If you're going to replace the head unit, might as well do it right and replace the amps & speakers as well. Kind of a PITA, but you'll be happy you did it.

Yes it does work. This is the one I used on my disco since the previous owner just cut all the wires and no stereo I had to replace it and its easy to hook up. Not listening to my country was killing me.

Does that plug work on a 97 discovery?

Edit: Is this the discovery 1 version of it?

According to the website that is the correct but also that was the one listed for my vehicle a 98 disco 1.

Upon opening mine it was wrong and its actually this one on the following link below. You might want to open yours up and check for yourself.

Amazon.com: Metra 70-1786 Radio Wiring Harness for Benz90-Up/Landrover99-04 Prem: Car Electronics Amazon.com: Metra 70-1786 Radio Wiring Harness for Benz90-Up/Landrover99-04 Prem: Car Electronics


The picture I provide here is the one that the website said would fit mine and when I received it, it didn't fit. So this one on the picture is the WRONG one.

I got mine from the link I provided above the Amazon one. I was just trying to save you time from buying something that will not work.

OK I will try to reexplain what I did.

I have learned that "just because the internet doesn't mean its true" is in fact a fact. When I needed to put a stereo I searched online and it gave me the harness that you got. So I bought it because "that's what it said on the internet would fit".

I received it and it was a wrong one and did not fit.

So I searched and got the one on Amazon (link I posted) and that one did fit even though it says 99-04 and yes it fit perfectly on my 98. That is the only reason I am trying to tell you that I am just trying to save you time and money.

I still have the one that didn't fit and that the "internet said was the one" here at home. It doesn't work on my disco and I'm sure it wont on yours but I could just sell it to you and ship it to you.
