So the wiring harness I bought for my HU does not fit

I have a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera SL, and I am trying to install a Pioneer DEHP8400MP. I bought a GM02 wiring harness (http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/SCOGM02B).

So my CD player finally comes in the mail, and I soldered and taped all the wires together. Go in my car, get the dash off (a fun little 90 minute project), take out the stock cassette player, and I find that the wiring harness does not fit whatsoever. The one I bought for my car has one plastic connector with all 13 pins/wires coming out of it, my stock wires are divided up amongst four small plastic connectors. The only way I could possibly hook it up right now would be to rip off all the connectors, rip off the wiring harness I just connected, and manually connect each wire from the HU to the stock wires. Needless to say, I do NOT want to do this.

When I called sounddomain, they informed that it was my fault I ordered the wrong product, as I should have ordered a reverse wiring harness instead, and since its past the 30 days I cant get a refund. I have never heard of a reverse wiring harness in my life, what the hell does that mean?

I also went to Best Buy to see if they had the correct harness, and they of course only had the one that I had in my hands. What the hell I am supposed to do?

Thanks

Not to be a smart @ss, but can't you get the correct one from sound domain...or somewhere else?

Sound Domain doesnt have one that fits, neither does Best Buy or Circuit City. They all have wiring harnesses with one or two plastic connectors, I need one that has 4.

Would this work....

The only thing I can suggest is to look around. There are a ton of other sites besides sound domain.

Good luck
