Installation Note: This harness uses your factory amplifier; your new stereo must have one pair of preamp outputs to connect this harness.

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.

Connections
  • 12V constant power
  • 12V switched power
  • chassis ground
  • dimmer
  • left front speaker +/-
  • right front speaker +/-
  • left rear speaker +/-
  • right rear speaker +/-
  • amp turn on

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.

I am a female and have never installed a radio in a car. I didn't know what went where,
so I have an extra part - the red/white audio cables (still don't know what those are for). I
obviously didn't need it because it sounds great! My husband hooked up the wiring for
me and I plugged it in and did all the rest of the installation myself. My 2005 Ford
Expedition has never sounded better!

I could have called the excellent support team @ Crutchfield, but I didn't need to bother
them really. It's all plug and play. If it doesn't fit, don't force it!

I was very pleased with this wiring harness. I ordered it for the installation of the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 in my 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and it was perfect. The connections were 100% correct and it made the installation real easy.

This harness is sweet!! I installed a pioneer AVIC-D3 head unit with this harness and it went together in a breeze!! I was concerned with having the shaker 1000 system in my can but everything works and I think it even sounds better with the new unit than the OEM... This product deserves a 10!!!! :-)

this product is sweet!! i installed a apline dvd head unit and used this harness and went together n a snap!! the small plug n is for the factory sub&amp and you just have to hook up one wire to the remote wire from your head unit to turn on the factory amp. you will need to buy a set of rca's so you get the sound the to the amp. i give this item a 10 out of a scale from 1-10 very happy i bought this item!!!! :-)

Very easy install thanks to this product. Was worried that the subs wouldn't work, but the RCAs made it simple to plug into the back of my kenwood KDC-HD942U. Surprised at how horrible the stock head unit was. Didn't provide anywhere near the power of the kenwood. If you are considering swapping the head unit out, I would HIGHLY recommend doing so!
