Could do that, but it would be a hell of a lot easier to cut the wires. You would have one hell of a time stripping back the wires on the back of this plug. They are packed in there nice and tight, and there really isn't enough room to do that sort of thing in the dash.
My suggestion: Cut the wires off, but leave enough length on the plug to re-solder if you decide to re-connect the old stereo.

Here's a few pics of the plug. Little bugger of a thing







There's a thread on here somewhere about the wire colours. I'll try and find it for you Loris
