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.

I bought this harness for my 08 Titan with a Rockford fosgate system. I didn't really understand the hook up so I called crutchfield tech support and they sat there and walked me through the whole connect. Will recommend to anyone

Nissan Maxima Bose interface cable

Written By Uncle Willie, Thomasville, GA on Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Installed in a 2003 Nissan Maxima
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The adaptor utilizes the existing Bose amplifiers and speakers. The Bose panel unit is just a tuner/preamp, whereas the aftermarket radios do have a power amp which is not utilized in this installation. The instructions are good, and the installation is straightforward as long as the aftermarket unit has pre amp outputs.
Pros:
Inexpensive, yet totally well engineered
Cons:
Some confusion about the grounding of the harness.

Needs decoupling capacitors for OE Rockford Fosgate amp

Written By JColeman, Rougemont, NC on Thursday, January 24, 2013
Installed in a 2005 Nissan Xterra
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
The harness works great except on newer Nissan Xterras with OE Rockford Fosgate amps it creates loud amp pop when turning on and off due to how factory radio managed power to the amp. Had to wire four 0.1uF metalized film capacitors into the positive leads on the line-in wires and wire in a delay relay on the amp turn-on wire to eliminate the loud popping noise.
Pros:
Quick and easy hook-up
Cons:
OE amp timing and power issues

A breeze to install.

Written By LeeN, Dothan, Alabama on Monday, December 10, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
This wiring harness was simple to install, once I found a correct wiring diagram for my car. My only complaint would be that you have to cut and splice the speaker connections and there just isn't a whole lot of room to work. Other than that, this was probably the simplist install I have ever done. It just plugs right into the factory harness.
Pros:
Uses factory harness.
Cons:
Cut and splice on speaker wires.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I had my doubts, particularly when I pulled out the original unit and saw that it had four connectors and the kit only had two. I even called tech support and they assured me it would work. And it did!
Pros:
Worked great
Cons:
Instructions don't allay your fears

Convenient but incomplete

Written By Flycast47, Aledo, TX on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Installed in a 2006 Nissan Xterra
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Soldering up to the radio harness was simple and direct. As is the harness will not work with the combination of a JVC KW-R900BT and 2006 Xterra because of interference between the RCA connectors (for the AMP) and an air duct support bracket in the Xterra. 90 degree adapters are required and the you must carefully stuff the wires out way.
Pros:
Greatly simplifies installation.
Cons:
Interference required additional adapters

on/off thump

Written By Tony, WY on Sunday, June 17, 2012
Installed in a 2002 Nissan Xterra
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Installed this in an 02 Xterra with the Fosgate amp. The speaker thump when turning the key off was terrible. Crutchfield's amp turn on line filter, while probably a good idea, didn't change anything. In the end we ended up cutting the RCA ends off and wiring them to the stock speaker inputs on the amp. No more on/off thump now!

Does the trick

Written By Joe, WIlmington, NC on Saturday, June 02, 2012
Installed in a 2012 Nissan Xterra
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
For the most part this is fine and worked exactly as expected. It was installed between a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT and a 2012 Xterra with the Rockford Fosgate system.

The only thing it is missing is a connector for the steering wheel controls wires. I used an ASWC steering wheel adapter and the 3 wires that it tapped into enter a connector that plugs into the factory stereo but is not one of the ones that is pigtailed out with the included adapter harnesses. I had to break into the wires behind the connector to make the connections, as I was unable to find a pigtail connector for it. I used solder/heat-shrink to do it properly rather than using those horrible splices that cut through the insulation. It would be nice if this kit included a pigtail connector for this so that it wouldn't be necessary to cut into factory wires.
Pros:
Included free with stereo purchase.
Cons:
Needs one more connector.

Not bad

Written By Stanton L., Sacramento, CA on Saturday, March 17, 2012
Installed in a 2006 Nissan Frontier
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
A pretty good kit overall. Instructions were clear and it included the RCA cables to reuse the factory amp. It does appear that I've lost the factory subwoofer though, but as far as integration with the other OEM speakers it was about as good as I expected. Would have been nice to keep the OEM sub and I may have to look into how to get that thing working as well. This was on a 2006 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab with the factory Rockford Fosgate stereo.
Pros:
Good instructions. Connected without problems. Retained use of factory speakers and amps (except subwoofer)
Cons:
Lost use of factory subwoofer
