Default radio

Hi
Is there a adaptor that the original harness(Black, blue, white plugs) for radio plugs in and the other end plugs into the radio to give me more wire. Male to female. I know I can extend them manually by adding wire to each wire. For a 1984 corvette radio with bose speakers
thanks

Probably not unless you make it. While these wires are very short, it is possible to connect them. I always put the key in, and shift the car into low while connecting the radio, to get the shifter out ofvthe way, and put a cloth down on the console to keep from beating it up. I have had my radio out/in three times while adding an iPod interface and aligning the cassette head. It is a pain but can be done.

why is it you want to do that? Problem is if you do, it's difficult to get all that wire back up in to reinstall the radio

Ain't that the truth. Try it after stuffing a double din in there! I cringe thinking about having to do that again...
