Installation Note: This harness uses your factory amplifier; your new stereo must have two pairs 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 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.

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.

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.

best quality and functionality

Written By AL, new york, NY on Wednesday, April 24, 2013
 
couldn't have asked for an easier setup. All wires came pre-stripped for easy soldering to the aftermarket headunit wires. all wires were color coded and matched correctly. sound quality is awesome. RCA plugs made plugging them into the HU a breeze!
Pros:
pre-stripped, great quality, easy connections
Cons:
none

not the best harness

Written By sduke, Lubbock, TX on Friday, April 05, 2013
Installed in a 1997 Toyota Celica GT
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This was the harness Crutchfield sent to fit a 97 Celica with 6 speaker system and aux amp. It is NOT the correct harness for that application. I made it work by cutting off some ends and re-wiring. It was better than nothing...but not by much
Pros:
It came in the box with the unit. color codes were close.
Cons:
didn't fit my vehicle/receiver combo. had to modify to make it work

So so harness

Written By G, Texas on Tuesday, October 09, 2012
Installed in a 1998 Lexus SC300
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This harness was easy to connect and all's well ends well right? Wrong! Once you turn on the radio you get this annoying buzzing sound that can really be irritating at times. Keep in mind this harness went on a sc300 1998 with full trim package and everything. I have this can be aliminated by installing an aftermarket amp and speakers. Also if you have a center subwoofer you will lose it. So to the chase...easy harness to hook up and install but annoying sound once radio is on.
Pros:
Easy to install
Cons:
Annoying buzzing sound

Wow... this thing works well

Written By Scott, Indiana on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Installed in a 1998 Toyota Avalon
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Worked like a charm! Easy to install following the head unit and wiring diagram provided with the harness. Allowed me to continue to use the factory amp in my '98 Avalon and the sound from the new head unit is very good! I used solder and heat shrink to join the head unit to the harness... very easy to do, but if you prefer not to solder, you could easily use wire connectors to do the job.
Pros:
Fit perfectly. Low Cost Works as advertised
Cons:
Wish the illumination wire was part of the harness as an option.

Easiest install ever

Installed in a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This adapter made for the easiest installation I have ever done, and it works great. I have installed a lot of car radios, most from Crutchfield, and this adapter made this installation the easiest ever.
Pros:
Almost plug and play. Only a few crimps and no cutting of the harness in the vehicle.

Wiring harness for 1999 Toyota Avalon

Written By Paul, Port St. Lucie, FL on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
Installed in a 1999 Toyota Avalon
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Unfortunately, this wiring harness did not fit my Toyota. Since I had the front dash of the car already taken apart, I got a replacement harness from a local dealer and had to splice all of the wires together. The necessary wiring harness would have required 2 concentrators, not 1. Neither of the Toyota concentrators matched this wiring harness' concentrator.
Cons:
It did not work with, or match the wiring in my 1999 Toyota Avalon.

Some_Defects

Written By Sri, centreville,va on Friday, April 15, 2011
Installed in a 1995 Lexus ES300
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Came along with the Clarion radio for my 95 lexus es 300. Had everything good in it but there is no connection for the illumination control. So I couldnt set up the illumination control in the radio which goes dim while you turn on the headlight. I checked the harness several time but it doesnt give me the provision or mark sheet doesnt show me where to connect. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Almost Perfect

Written By mmarzullo, Churchville, MD on Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Installed in a 1998 Lexus ES300
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
As a previous reviewer pointed out, this harness is missing the ORANGE ILLUMINATION lead in the number 2 position. If you are OK with not having your radio dim when you turn on your headlights this won't be a problem.

I want the radio to dim when the headlights are turned on, just like the rest of the interior lights. Sure wish I had read the previous review ahead of time. I called Crutchfield to ask what could be done to fix the harness and they said sorry, they don't make the harnesses and there is nothing they can do for me.

Almost perfect.

Written By broderp, DAYTON, OHIO on Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
PROS:

Very good Quality. Fits just like OEM conector on Radio, with a nice positive feel. Secure. (Good job sourcing this Crutchfield!) Wire colors matched radio for easy matching and connection.


CONS:

The connector is MISSING a wire in the #2 position for ILLUMINATION. (usually an ORANGE wire) If your car does not have a 12v wire for illumination and/ or you don't care about dimming your radio lights with the headlight switch on the car, then this may not matter.

Crutchfield was VERY accomodating and was able to help me and sent me a second one to take a wire out of to use. It required me to basically destroy the connector, and I carefully reused the crimp connector and soldered an ORANGE wire in place. The result looks like it was made that way.

I have years of experience with this type of work and access to the proper tools.

I only rate this 3 stars because of the work required for my application. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. If the orange wire was there, I would have gave it a 5 star rating.

In case this info helps: My car is a 1995 TOYOTA CELICA GT with 6 speakers, double din headunit with separate amp. I installed a Kenwood DNX5120.

I went to two local places to find a harness for my 98 Avalon and both said they had one that works and theyre sure it would work. So I go and neither fit. Thank god for crutchfield otherwise I couldnt get a aftermarket head unit. The instructions that came with it were easy to read and very helpful.
