to cold out to install and no garage at hand, I hope Crutchfield was right and this is all I need to by-pass the factory amp and still run all 7 speakers. I have faith in them.

Wiring is great, Crutchfield is even better
Crutchfield customer from Dexter, MO on 12/31/2020
2005 Dodge Ram 1500
Great harness, the wires are a bit long but I guess because it's for more than 1 vehicle. Crutchfields wiring guide was perfect though. This was my first install and everything works great!
Pros: Easy to read wiring
Cons: Wires too long

Great Product
Crutchfield customer from Lake Worth, FL on 6/3/2020
It took me four tries to find the correct harness, but once I actually called Crutchfield Technical Support I was put on track. This was the exact harness I needed for my late 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 to bypass the factory amp and get my new Pioneer touchscreen stereo thumping. The wires are extremely long, which is probably good for certain applications. In my case, I cut down all but three feet leaving me a bunch of colored wire for other projects.

Metra 70-6510 Amp Bypass Harness
Crutchfield customer from Dayton, NV on 5/7/2020
Once I was sent the complete instructions on how to connect this to my truck it was easy but the first email I got from Crutchfield was missing some important steps. I called tech support and was sent some emails detailing exactly how to wire to my truck. The second time I tried to call support I was unable to make contact. The instructions said to leave 4 feet of wire which was twice as much as needed. The harness comes with WAY to much wire. What a waste.
Pros: Easy to set up with the proper instructions.
Cons: Too much wire.

Happy Camper
Crutchfield customer from Waldorf, MD on 8/11/2019
Crutchfield instructions were very clear, up to the point of removing the wiring connector from existing amp in my '04 Dodge Ram 1500 (infinity Sound System). You may be assisted by a pair of right angle needle nose pliers to pinch the release pin on the wiring connector on the amp, as there is very little clearance for your hands. Beyond that, the 70-6510 Bypass Harness worked perfecctly! I am happy that I am mow able to use my Kenwood system with bluetooth for my smartphone (that's what I was really after). I will be looking to Crutchfield again to add subwoofer system in the not-too-distant future. Thanks Crutchfield!
Pros: Removal/Installation Instructions were very useful. The wires on the harness must have been 15 feet; far more than needed for the application.
Cons: The Removal/Installation Instructions stopped just short of HOW to remove the factory harness from the amp. It provided all the steps to get to the amp and remove the harness, but did not describe the locking release tab that must be depressed to pull the connector out. Additional tools may be required to accomplish this.

Does what is advertised - connectors are wired correctly. Attached wires were plenty long enough for the application. I wish that the item was offered in two or three amounts of wire lengths. I currently have approx. 35' of wires left over.
Pros: Everything fits. Wired correctly. Sufficient length of wire to accomplish the project.
Cons: Too much wire for my application. Product should be offered in multiple items with different wire lengths.

Make sure you have the amp, you can't just rewire the harness they supplied if you don't, my mistake but a big pain if you're looking for plug and play
Pros: Easy if you know what you've got
Cons: Not easy if you were wrong

Boom!
Rob from Sand Springs, OK on 6/21/2018
Worked great. Easy instructions. I had wired my subs to the rear speakers using a line output converter, but wasn't satisfied with the results. Once I bypassed the factory amp, My sound went through the roof. Due to Crutchfield's amazing and knowledgeable customer service, it was the right harness for my truck which was a difficult year to find correct parts for.
Pros: Nothin' but positive.
Cons: Other than where dodge put the factory amp.......

Worked excellent to bypass the factory amp on my 2005 Ram 2500. Crutchfield provided very helpful instructions. The biggest pain in was getting the factory harness disconnected from the amp. Requires quite a bit of dissambly of the dash, but that has nothing to do with the quality and ease of use of this harness.
Pros: Make installation of a new head unit easy.
Cons: Lots of excess wire.

Works great.
Dan from Clare, MI on 6/1/2017
2005 Dodge Ram 1500
If your lucky enough to get one of the few Dodges where the CHTO-02 does not work or want to use the full potential of your after market front door and dash speakers then this is a must. I would recommend complete removal of the amp when using this product since it will give you move room to run the wires and make the connections. Also use zip ties to hold the connectors together since they don't appear to snap and lock into each other. Color codes for the 05 Ram 1500 are as follows (may not use all): Door Speakers Left Front - White (+)/ White Black (-) Right Front - Grey (+)/ Grey Black (-) Left Rear - Green (+)/ Green Black (-) Right Rear - Purple (+)/ Purple Black (-) Dash Speakers Left - Yellow Blue (+)/ Yellow Black (-) Center - Brown White (+)/ Dark Blue Pink (-) Right - Yellow Red (+)/ Yellow Orange (-) Sub woofer - Green White (+)/ White Red (-)
Pros: Easy to use. Allows for full use of 2 or 3 way front door and dash speakers.
Cons: Amp is hard to remove. Tight space if amp is left in place for harness connections and wire run. Instructions are quite sparse, IE none for the speaker wire color codes unless you look up a different model vehicle.
