Why does this seem so complicated? Trawling the web there are a
plethora of adapters to connect my remote stick to an Alpine 9846 - in
each case usually two seem to be necessary. Why is this so?

One's a universal non-brand specific interface for the car, and the
other then converts the connection on that to whichever style of
connector is used on the relevant brand of head unit.

What age is the vehicle?
