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:

Note: You'll need to make a ground connection between your new receiver and your car's metal chassis.

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.

OEM Wiring Harness For My 1995 Mazda MPV van

Talk about a no brainer! This harness was color matched to my existing factory wiring. I
did not have to compromise my factory wiring harness to install my new JVC receiver.
The color matching to my OEM radio wiring left no room for mistakes. I would recommend
this to anyone thinking about doing the receiver upgrade to their 1995 Mazda MPV. Five
stars!

Crutchfield Customer Review

The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order.

 
It was the technical support and all the little "add-ons" like this wiring
harness adapter that convinced me to pay a little more and purchase this radio
from Crutchfield. I know I could have probably ordered the adapter somewhere
else, but it was nice to know that I was getting everything I needed with one
order, and not have to search around and take a chance that I was ordering the
wrong thing.

The adapter worked perfectly. It took a little time to do the soldering but once
it was done all that was left was to snap the connectors to the radio and the
car's wiring harness and I was done.

Gave the directions a quick read, slid shrink tube on wires, pulled off the already sliced insulation, soldered the wires and done. Very easy.

Check your model year +/- one year

Written By whyde, Austin, TX on Thursday, July 01, 2010
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Crutchfield Customer Review

The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order.

 
It turns out that my 2003 MPV was on the cusp of a model-year changeover where they switched to a different wiring harness. Compare the part numbers of the wiring harness of your model year with the part number of the previous and next model years to see whether you may require a different harness.

However, the Crutchfield tech support was courteous, efficient, realized the error, and got me the part I really required.

My only suggestion would be to automate the check for model year changes, with a note or warning to visually inspect the radio (if possible) and match the harness against the photo before ordering. This would require access to the instruction for factory radio removal prior to purchase, however, and is a chicken-and-egg problem.

So, this was not the harness I required, but it arrived in good shape and (I assume) would have worked well if it matched the older year's radio. Still 5 stars because of customer service effectiveness.


[Editor's Note: Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have added additional qualifiers to our Auto Install Guide to catch this mid-year harness change, and avoid this problem in the future.]

Top notch product. This harness made my installation a breeze. I would never try to install a stereo without using a receiver wire harness. Most important if you sell your car and want to keep your after market stereo, just unplug and reinstall the factory stereo in a snap.

It was so wonderful to have the wiring harness and instructions included with my stereo purchase. It made it so much easier installing the stereo. And it comes with pre-stripped wires too! I had to do a touch of interpretation matching the harness wiring description to the stereo's description. The write up that came with the stereo wasn't as clear as the wiring harness' instructions. I am sure I could have called Crutchfield if I had any questions, though. :)
