Adapter cable for aftermarket head units

Has anybody noticed that he adaptor cable sold at various eBay and aftermarket sites for fitting modern aftermarket units in our Alpines has a connector that is the same as the connector fitted in the original Alpine harness? I mean both connectors are female and obviously won’t fit.

Any one come across this issue or is it just me?

I've only used on on an A610 and there the problem is you have to swap front to back speakers on one side, but not tried one on a GTA.
The one have in the cupboard is definitely ISO male to female. Have you got one, or is it a stock image on the site problem?

No, I got one and it is the same as on the eBay picture...
