Because its stuff for an astra and not a C3? You had been given a link in another post about C3 adaptors?

I don't know what a 'universal audio adapter' is. What's wrong with the information already provided?

I don't think its going to be easy for you. You have already been given advice and now split your topic in two.

If I purchase the above and attach my current connects2 box setup up is it likely to work?

Yes and no.

Its got a 'fly lead' that you need to connect to a power source that becomes live when the ignition key is turned to accessories.

Its not a plug and play option and not as easy as the 'swap 4 and 7 over' which works from most lower power stereos.

Its the same as the quote above.

No idea what you have for connects 2.. If its not the C3 one, why would it work?

I suppose you could contact connects2 to ask if its compatible? What would happen if its not compatible? Who knows?
