Yea that is something that would rise good concern to me. Why would u need to bend one of the prongs to fit on the HU? If it's compatible, it should fit perfectly. If the prong really needs to be bent, i think u should remove the HU from the dash, turn on the cd changer and like when it's playing, push in the connector. Hopefully by pushing it in, the connection will be good and u could kno forsure if this is the problem. G' luck!
