Works on Mach 6 CD changer
C.J. from Francisco IN on 3/24/2017
1994 Ford Ranger
Great product, all the research on internet said this would not fit a 2002 mustang GT convertible with factory Mach 6 CD changer but it did, don't why they suggest the other but oh well
Pros: Works with factory amp and works with Mach 6 cd contrary to popular belief
Cons: Doesn't come with specific instructions for amp compatibility installation

Terrible, yet recommended by Crutchfield
Steve from Nebraska on 9/7/2015
2003 Ford Mustang
As others have said, it doesn't work with the Mustang GT MACH 460 (2003). The power cuts out, the speakers randomly cut out. If you wiggle the connector, it cuts out. I've been fighting it for over a year. What's really bad is that this is the wiring that is recommended for my car, but it is terrible.
Pros: It sometimes allows me to listen to music.
Cons: It sometimes doesn't allow me to listen to music.

Pros: All in one connectivity.

Sub harness does not work for 2000 lincoln ls premium stereo
c-j-l.net from Oregon on 8/31/2014
The larger connector worked perfectly. The smaller did not. Same problem as other reviewrs with Mustang - the pin rows are too far apart on the subwoofer mating plug., with the pins lining up with the release notches rather than with the sockets for the pins. Hoping to find another shell and transfer over, or a product that will work.
Pros: Large connector works correctly for application
Cons: subwoofer connector does not work right for application.

Mach 460
Rich from Tucson, AZ on 2/13/2014

Harness worked like a charm, allowing me to integrate my deck into the Mach 460 speaker/amp system in my Mustang.
Pros: Clear instructions were quite helpful.
Cons: Would have been nice if the two amp ground leads had been terminated in ring connectors, since the instructions call for them to be grounded to the deck.

Wiring Harness Made It Simple
hlynnbv from Arkansas on 1/15/2013
2002 Ford Mustang
The wiring harness for the 2002 Mustang worked like a charm and the wire colors actually matched all the colors of the corresponding receiver colors which made it easy to double check against the wiring schematic provided by the receiver manufacturer and Crutchfield. I had only one question for Tech Support relative to an unused connector in the car that didn't connect to the new harness. He quickly related that it was not needed and he was right. All functons of the new receiver worked the first time without a hitch with this wiring harness. I soldered all the wiring connections and used heat shrink tubing and finally taped the loose wires of the harness together to make a really neat job and it all fit perfectly.
Pros: Connectors fit the car's wiring harness and the receiver's connectors, wiring schematics were easy to read, permitted doing all the soldering of the wires on the bench rather than in the car, and Tech Support was fast and accurate.
Cons: Needed to call Tech Support to assure myself that one connector from the car's harness wasn't needed.

Better sound by "not following" directions exactly
TracyW from Grayson, GA on 9/4/2012
2003 Ford Mustang
Harnesses worked great with my 2003 Mustang Convertible and the JVC KW-HDR720 I was adding. My stock radio had 3 harnesses connected to it. This kit only comes with 2. Doesn't seem to be an issue as the JVC is using all 8 speakers (4 tweeters and 4 large). Wire colors matched perfectly with my JVC's wires. One tip -- The instructions specify plugging the RCA plugs on the second harness into the subwoofer RCA jacks on the stereo. On the JVC, that resulted in "dull" sounds. I tried plugging them into the "Front" line-out jacks instead and the sound came alive! Much better frequency response and fuller sound. Bass is pretty good as well. The JVC KW-HDR720 has 3 sets of RCA jacks on the rear of the unit -- Subwoofer, Front, and Rear. For me, the Front ones worked better. For reference, my Mustang doesn't have the tweeter amp under the factory radio...they were driven off the factory radio and are now driven by the JVC (what you'd probably want anyway). I'm assuming the large speakers (2 front, 2 rear) are driven off 2 amps behind the back seat -- I never looked for those. Those seem to work well with the JVC utilizing the tip I gave above.
Pros: Wire colors match my JVC stereo's wire colors
Cons: Instructions specify using the RCA plugs in the subwoofer jack -- I got better sound by using the Front line-out jack

Wiring harness worked fine. This was my first radio de-install and new intstall. Two calls to tech support one for mounting kit, the other for wiring got me back on track, There was nothing on the wiring sheet explaining where to put the blue/white Amplifier turn-on wires.
Pros: tech support was great.
Cons: wiring layout leaves a lot to be desired

Reciever wiring harness
Nick from Puyallup, WA on 7/16/2012
2002 Ford Mustang
Overall the instructions were really pretty good. Pretty much all the wires on the Harness from the Pioneer deck matched the new Mustang harness. The colors even matched, even though the instructions said they may not. The only exception is that my stock stereo had 3 separate harnesses and the wiring sheet said nothing about that. It would have been better if there was a note on the sheet explaining that the 2 new harnesses would replace the 3 from the stock deck. My call to Crutchfield took care of that question. Oh yeah, there was nothing on the wiring sheet explaining where to put the blue/white Amplifier turn-on wires. Another call to Crutchfield was needed for that.
Pros: Overall the instructions were very helpful. Just a few minor additions to the instruction sheet would make these perfect.
Cons: Just as I mentioned above, If there were a few changes to the sheets explaining the Amp turn-on wires and the 2 harnesses would replace the 3 then these would be perfect.

Ford Wire Harness # 120705519

This Kit "WILL NOT" work on 03 Ford Mustang Cobra with a MACH 460 System!!!
Pros: The 16 pin connector worked OK!
Cons: The MALE 8 pin connector would not connect to the FORD FEMALE 8 pin harness connector on my 03 Ford Mustang Cobra, Ford/Visteon CD6 Audiophile Mach 460 System; Ford P/N: 2R3T-18C815-AA.. The Connector is TOO BIG, and the two rows of 4 male pins are TOO CLOUSE and WILL NOT mate-up to the Ford female 8 pin connector. I went to about 10 different installers, and they ALL had the SAME CONNECTOR PROBLEM. I also took my radio with me TOO!!!

2002 Mustang Convertable
Bill D from Camby, Indiana on 3/22/2012
2002 Ford Mustang
The wiring harness is an excellent alternative to hard wiring the unit. The JVC KW-500 radio has about the same approach that the Crutchfield instructions use. If you have any type of wiring expierence, you should not have any problems. I noticed in the JVC instructions that it will warn you when you turn it on the first time if you have a wiring error. I cannot verify this because I got it right the first time. I did check to see if the plugs fit before I started wiring it up.
Pros: excellent product
Cons: May need more instruction if you have never wired anything like this before.

Incorrect Harness for my 2001 Mustang GT 'Vert
John M. from Allentown, PA on 3/16/2012
2001 Ford Mustang
Like other reviewers here, upon arrival, I noticed one harness (amp ground/power to RCA) doesn't fit my 2001 Mustang GT Convertible with MACH 460. The adapter is too small, and the factory jack is too large. I called support (very helpful) and they sent me the correct part #120705701 that day. They should offer a harness set that combines both of these parts to fit the Mustang correctly. ***If you have a '01-'03 Mustang with MACH 460, this harness WILL NOT fit correctly. Only one piece will fit. The other part required is in #120705701 (search this number up top and you'll see what I mean.)***
Pros: One piece (factory reciever harness) fits.
Cons: Other piece (amp power/ground to RCA) doesn't fit.

There's a second harness that could fit!!!!!
PeteM from Plano, TX on 12/27/2011
2003 Ford Mustang
I called Crutchfield - who by the way was remarkably helpful - and let them know I saw a different harness kit: Item# 120705701. They mail one out for free and it got here very fast. It took me about 4 weeks to get to trying new harness but Item# 120705701 seems to be PERFECT for my 2003 Mustang convertible. The speakers that are against the windows in front say 'Mach' on them if that helps. Thanks Crutchfield!!!! Top notch support.
Pros: This kit makes it VERY easy to install. I think there was two different harnesses for 2003 Mustangs because the first harness that was sent had one connector that didn't fit quite right. I also saw another user with the same exact issue. Read more in rest of review!!!!
Cons: The one connector that didn't fit quite right.

ChrisL from Baltimore, MD on 2/19/2011
2001 Ford Mustang
The kit is pretty nice. I've only installed a car stereo once and this makes it pretty easy. I got stuck powering the Ford Mach-460 subwoofer but one call to Crutchfield got that straight. There was only 1 small issue with the connections. The white connector did not really snap-in tightly to the Ford connecter in the car. It kept coming unconnected. I plugged it in as hard as I could and then wrapped the entire connection tightly with electrical tape. Everything seesm to work fine but I'll have to run around this summer to see if it stays connected. I figure it will since I wrapped it so tightly with the tape.

Junk; does not work on 2002 Gt coupe mach 460
Lane J from Huntsville, Alabama on 12/27/2010
I have installed car stereo products for a good part of my life and this wiring harness simply will not work. Car was a 2002 Ford mustang gt w/ factory mach 460 system. The factory plug controling the amplifiers WILL not fit into the harness crutchfield provides. It is to large. You can stick the two together, wiggle around the harness and you can hear the amps cut on and off. If you want to rig, do so at your on risk. I can see the harness coming loose over time. I see by reading the feedback here im not the only one with this problem.

Bass & Amp didn't work Mach 460
Wayne from Crestview, FL on 8/28/2010
2002 Ford Mustang
2002 Mustang Mach 460 At first I couldn't get the bass and amps to work. Called CF once and they said to check the wires. Lot's of references on the Net of other people having the same problem. I accidently found the white connector on the 5519 harness wouldn't fit tight. The pins on the connector were smaller than the ones on the car's harness. They are also very easy to bend. I put a wire bundle zip tie between the two as a quick fix and it now works great. Others have taken the connector completely out and straight wired the harness. This defeats the whole purpose.

Perfect for 03 Mustang with Mach stereo
Mark from Melbourne, FL on 7/7/2009
This harness worked perfectly for installation of an aftermarket Sony radio. Installation did not require any further items. High pass filters were not needed. I used the sub outputs from the radio. They worked better than full frequency preamp outputs even though they are mono. You may want to consider limiting your radio selection to one with a true subwoofer output for this application.

Ben from Thomasville, AL on 1/23/2009
2002 Ford Mustang
I was pleased with the adapter overall, but I had one disappointment. My only disappointment was that the adapter only has one set of rca outputs . This causes both the door and rear speakers to be on the same channel, which lowers the tuning capability of the system. Other than that the adapter works fine and was easy to install.
