This vehicle-specific wiring harness makes connections between your new car stereo and your car's electrical system. First, attach the color-coded wires on your Cructhfield harness to the wires from your new stereo. If you don't know how to use a soldering iron, we recommend that you purchase some wire connectors that you'll use to attach the Crutchfield harness to your factory harness. Now, once this harness is connected to your new stereo, you'll be able to plug right into your car's factory radio connector. This harness makes installing your new stereo easier, and allows you to put the factory radio back when you sell your vehicle or return it at the end of the lease. A detailed instruction sheet comes with the harness. Warranty: 60 days. Please read this important note: This harness may not contain provisions for every wire needed to complete your installation, and it will not accommodate special navigation, video, or factory steering wheel control connections. You will need a special adapter if you want your factory steering wheel audio controls to work with your new stereo.

Features Crutchfield Wiring Harness: Crutchfield wiring harnesses prevent you from having to cut your vehicle's factory radio plug when replacing your factory radio with an aftermarket head unit. Simply solder or crimp the Crutchfield wiring harness to your aftermarket head unit's harness (solder & crimps not included), plug the aftermarket head unit's plug into the rear chassis of the aftermarket head unit, and plug the Crutchfield wiring harness into your vehicle's factory radio plug. Note: Installation tools, hardware, & accessories are not included & sold separately. Please see the Accessories tab for recommendations & availability. Wiring Notes: If the Crutchfield wiring harness is not equipped with a ground wire, you will need to ground the aftermarket head unit's ground wire to the metal chassis of your vehicle. Some vehicle's may require you to bypass the vehicle's factory amplifier (in another location from factory radio) or hardwire certain connections. If your vehicle is equipped with factory steering wheel controls, an additional adapter is required & sold separately.

Apparently, I have the stock receiver for the 04'. When I was doing the install, I realized that that the wire harness Crutchfield sent me wasnt the right one. So I called tech support and they told me they would sent me out the right one. So I had to wait for the right harness for another 5 days. This should have been caught by Crutchfield when the order was placed, hence the 4 stars. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Perfect Connections! Written By Ken T, Rosedale, MD on Thursday, August 11, 2011 This kit made wiring my new head unit easy. The fact that all the wire coloring matches the head unit harness made connecting it together almost fool proof. Definitely one of the best reasons to go with Crutchfield... Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Will Cause Amp Turn-On Pop with Mach 300 System Written By Mike, US on Saturday, July 02, 2011 This harness does match up with the Mach 300 system in an 05 Ford Escape Limitied. However, the amp for the sub in the Mach 300 system receives a 6volt input on the remote wire, instead of the 12v remote voltage that this harness will give the amp. Everything will work fine, but you will receive a turn-on pop from the sub if you use this harness. The fix is to wire a 12v to 5v voltage regulator to this harness. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I was installing the Axxess aswc at the same time I installed my new JVC stereo. The aswc needed to be connected to pin 18 of the car stereo connector, but the supplied harness did not have a wire in pin 18. I had to cut into the car harness to make the connection. If they added a pin 18 wire, this would be a 5 star product! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
