Help with aftermarket stereo install! Options

So I'm curious if I received/purchased the wrong harness adapter or if I'm just missing something. Every where I look for harness adapter, the one I have comes up though. (I have the 6 speaker, pre-amped stereo)

These are the ends of the harness adapter I already have wired up to my new deck


This was plugged into the factory preamp and comes from underneath it


This was plugged into the factory radio, the other end plugs directly into the factory preamp


This is the other end that was plugged into the factory preamp.


I know they make a harness adapter I can buy if I want to use the factory preamp ... but I don't.

^Not as of right now. If someone in the states, especially close by, were to sell a set of 8 speaker door trims ... I might take them up on it, if they were mint ... but I'm pretty happy with the sound I have now. The two plugs under the preamp aren't that hard to get, I'd try it again. I mean, they're not super easy but once I figured out which ones they were, it took me like 5 min to get them pulled out and reroute them to plug into the new harness.

I wanted to use the preamp in the new deck as it has more wattage output than the factory JBL preamp. It's loud! Any now I have my iPod plugged in and I can go through the albums and artists right on the touch screen without even using the iPod ... I like that convenience!
