About the Metra 70-6504 Amp Bypass Harness

Charlie Pastorfield
This Metra 70-6504 amp bypass harness allows you to install a new car stereo in your car without having to cut the factory wiring.

This Metra 70-6504 amp bypass harness allows you to install a new car stereo in your car without having to cut the factory wiring.

Simply splice the color-coded wires on your Crutchfield integration adapter to the wires from your aftermarket stereo — you can crimp or solder the connections in the comfort of your home without having to struggle with splicing wires behind your dash. Next, plug the Crutchfield integration adapter into the harness that you removed from your factory radio.

Since you didn't have to cut off your car's original radio connector, it's easier to put the factory radio back in when you sell your vehicle or return it at the end of the lease. Just plug the factory radio back in and keep the aftermarket stereo. Warranty: 60 days.

Note: This integration adapter bypasses your factory amplifier. In order to install it and make the necessary connections, you will need to run wires from the adapter to a switched power source and to your factory amp location, which varies depending on the vehicle. You'll lose the factory subwoofer when the amp is bypassed.

Please enter your vehicle information or call a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this model is compatible with your vehicle.

Features

Wiring Harness: This wiring harness prevents 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 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 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 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.

Q
Is the only difference between this and the 9-wire product the fact that you don't have to cut into the factory wires with this one?

Greetings Jeremy. Thank you for your question. A 9 wire will carry the 8 speakers wires and a remote amp turn on. This factory amp bypass also includes factory plugs, constant power, switched power, ground, and also a center speaker/tweeter harness.

Q
i have a 2005 grand cherokee limited. I purchased a kenwood head unit a couple years back and had yall install the factory connection on it. So now i want to bypass amp and replace speakers. Do i just undo the connections yall made and add this? Thank you for any help.

Generally speaking, this is the case. However, I would recommend reaching out to our tech support team when you are ready to perform the bypass so that we may guide you through which connections need to be undone and which may be left in place. Our toll-free Tech Support number is printed on your invoice, and is also available under the "My Orders" tab in the "My Account" section of our website.

We do not offer an amp bypass harness for this vehicle. You would need to run new wiring for that.
jenny  Sep 08, 2021 (Staff)

You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

Yes, if you're trying to bypass the factory amplifier. If no factory amplifier in vehicle, you wouldn't be needing this harness, but a different one..
