The "T" at the end is what differentiates the part number from the protege one. The one in your first post looks like it splits off another male connector while letting you pass through everything to the new head unit. This is probably why the part numbers are so close. Cool concept for sure. Since it has such limited use, it will probably hard to find in a local store though.

Amazon. They have like everything. Since you have one side already. You may need to move some pins around or buy two to get all the pins you need.
See Paimon's thread here for another wiring way to do it:

Crutchfield no longer sells 70-7903t... they said they have a upgraded part "70-7904" but cannot confirm wether it works with our car or not lol... and their part is only the Male part.

The correct harness (71-7903) is noted in my FAQ thread. And you can find it on eBay.

Close. Actually it's the first two numbers that are going to be the deciding factor in this case. All Metra harnesses that begin with "70" are female plugs. All Metra harnesses that begin with "71" are male harnesses. ("80" is a speed harness, which is badass BTW) The last 4 numbers dictate the specific model obviously. So a 70-7903 is the reverse of the 71-7903.

After you posted the part number i checked on amazon, they had one as well.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate it!

Thanks. I've put quite a bit of work into it.
I don't know of a place right off hand. I'm positive you could find them at a major electronics supply store like Fry's. (I've bought some for my computer from there)
What I've done in the past is use pins from other harnesses that I know aren't needed. Easy when you have a whole shop at your disposal... but it'll probably cost you a few bucks though.
