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 Crutchfield 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.

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
  • power antenna turn-on
  • dimmer
  • left front speaker +/-
  • right front speaker +/-
  • left rear speaker +/-
  • right rear speaker +/-

Note: Most vehicles will require additional installation parts — please identify your vehicle if you haven’t done so, then check here for a list of parts. You can also call an Advisor for more information.

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.

Correct harness for CR-915 radio

Written By DaveS, Point Roberts, WA on Friday, March 08, 2013
 
Correctly fits Volvos that had the CR-915 radio (shown on front), including the 1995 940 and 1995 850, but not earlier 940s. Note that this harness will put the dash speakers in parallel with the front door speakers, which is correct for a standard 4-speaker radio (the 6-speaker CR-915 had separate dash speaker outputs). Antenna motor output is the Blue wire (pin 3), which must be connected for a wagon as it powers the signal amplifier for the FM antenna in the left rear quarter window. The Orange wire (pin 10) is from the dash light dimmer rheostat(+) and connects to the radio dimmer lighting. If the radio dimmer circuitry needs a day/night (on/off) input then rather than connecting to the Orange wire, you will need a direct splice to the Yellow-White wire (pin 5) in the vehicle harness which comes from the park lights.
Pros:
Direct fit for CR-915 vehicle harness
Cons:
none

Check your plugs FIRST

Written By Anonymous, Connecticut on Monday, February 06, 2012
Installed in a 1994 Volvo 940
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Good overall quality, BUT this what the Crutchfield site said fit my '94 Volvo 940T with 6 speakers. It did not. Check your plugs first before ordering if you have one behind the receiver and one near the steering column (connected to a factory amplifier), and they are matching flat wide plugs, you need item 120701121. That harness has MUCH longer wire leads as well.

a Nice Plus

Written By Scottnarli, Arlington, Massachusetts on Sunday, July 03, 2011
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
So nice to have this feature included at no extra charge. It eliminated the guesswork and troubleshooting of the possibly faulty existing wires. My Volvo is always just a little different, but one call to the customer service answered my questions and ensured proper installation.

Beware - This is wrong harness for a 94 940 with CR-814

Written By Paul, Vermont on Sunday, April 17, 2011
Installed in a 1994 Volvo 940
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This harness was completely wrong for the OEM radio/amp setup in my 1994 940. The CR-814 and amp had a single 14-pin connector, not the dual connector setup this harness came with. Completely useless to me and ended up making up my own harness based on information online. My advice to anybody considering this is to pull the radio first and make sure this harness will fit. Particularly disappointing in that Crutchfield site did not offer any alternative harnesses for the car.

Its a wiring harness, thats true

Written By CaseyH, Littleton, CO on Wednesday, October 13, 2010

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
It works. The front tweeters are bridged off of the front LR which is cool i guess. I don't
think the wires were pre-stripped though. Not a big deal, but this is a review. Its free so, I
like it.

Unlike all of the other Volvo owners. I have a Volvo 850 turbo,and I got the right harness, but my rear door speakers do not work since I installed this. So for now I go without some speakers, but I will have to go get the problem fixed.

The right one.

Written By angusperformance, Seattle, WA on Monday, February 02, 2009
Installed in a 1996 Volvo 850 GLT
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The right harness for the right car. Be sure take a few minutes to look at your current setup before you order just to confirm you are getting the right thing. For some reason Volvo used two different style harnesses. I got the wrong one first time around. No problem though, Crutchfield fixed rushed the correct one out to me. Install was super fast and I wonder why anyone goes to a pro to get this easy stuff done.

Easy to use but strange results

Written By Ted, Memphis, TN on Friday, January 30, 2009
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The replacement harness was extremly easy to install. However, getting the power antenna to work was an issue. We finally got it to work but with a strange side effect. If you begin with the new stereo off, the car off and the antenna down, once you start the car, everything is normal. But, once the stereo is turned on and antenna goes up, it will not retract when the stereo is turned off as the factory unit did. Until the car is shut off, the
antenna is stays up. If you want it to stay down when starting the car, you must be sure to turn the stereo off before shutting the car off. Mainly a nusiance at the car wash. Go figure.
