Worked just fine. As an engineer I was looking for the common, normally closed, normally open, and coil designators in the included data sheet. That would have made things a bit easier, but the relay worked fine.

No idea where it goes!
Samantha from Ashland, OH on 8/20/2019
1986 Pontiac Fiero
When I ordered the JVC stereo for my 86 Fiero it said I needed this so they shipped it free (which is cool). BUT, the instructions it comes with SUCK, it doesn't really tell me where to wire this in? My factory radio had a built in amp that ran a small sub woofer. I ended up unplugging the sub woofer because all it did was thump over an over and over. I am guessing that relay needs to be in there, but where? Instructions don't say anything about where to wire it in to the radio???!!!
Pros: it was free
Cons: Instructions for it suck The radio installation instruction don't explain where it goes either had to unplug the sub

Documentation that came with it sux, but Crutchfield tech support made up for it. Very bulky device and the wires are too thick to easily use the twist wire connectors I bought with the stereo
Pros: works
Cons: documentation size wire gauge

120 E5000 is very non-specific and is not very clear what wiring on the vehicle, head unit or adapter wiring harness it needs to be connected to.
Pros: May do its job if better installation provided

DKJ from Stafford, VA on 10/20/2015
2003 Volkswagen Beetle
Showed up the next day. Even though it states it won't fit a 2003 Turbo Beetle, it is exactly what I needed to use as an AMP relay switch on my factory Monsoon AMP (after replacing HU with an aftermarket, the Monsoon AMP would not turn off and drained the battery). The hardest part was taking the car parts off to get to the AMP. Either way, this worked perfectly!
Pros: Arrived the next day. What I needed
Cons: None

This did not wire up as the instructions showed. Blue wire was not even needed on my install in a 2005 Corvette. Tech guys straightened it out and all is good.
Pros: Allows to use factory Bose amp.
Cons: Wired up differently than instructions showed.

Metra E-5000 Relay
zbee062 from Anderson, SC on 7/22/2014
2008 Chevrolet Corvette
This is installed in combination with a GMOS-04 adapter, a DNX890HD in a 2008 Corvette. Apparently it can be eliminated if the GMOS-04 cable is by passed (with Corvettes of certain years ), but I elected to include it and followed the instructions provided.
Pros: Instructions were clear and installation was easy. Would give 5 stars except I had no way of knowing 100% that the relay worked. Everything worked that was associated with the cable including sound quality, so I assume that it did work.
Cons: None

PM from Baldwinsville, NY on 4/23/2014
2006 Chevrolet Corvette
This relay was required. Instructions are minimal. I am not an electrician and w/o Crutchfield advisor, I would not have know where to connect the wires. Would have been very helpful to include more specific wiring instructions with the MasterSheet sent with the NAV/Radio I bought.
Pros: Works
Cons: A lot of wires. felt install instructions needed to be better.

Bill from Los Angeles on 10/29/2013
Great product and very easy to install. I would of liked to see the relay be able to be connected to the radio. With all the adapters the harness became massive and cumbersome to install.
Pros: Went in very quickly
Cons: Need more documentation to install without pro help.

I was replacing a lightening fired unity in a 2003 Chrysler Town and Country with the Infinity system. Installing the relay was not really that difficult or complicated, except the instructions were confusing and not completely correct. The Crutchfield Technical support helped me get it properly installed. They were a big help.

Paul from Stamford, CT on 6/30/2008
I had a problem in my car. i had a cap, jl 1000/1 and a TMA320.4 running off the same REM line from my head unit. It simply wasnt enough power to startup all of the components. I put this relay in to put more power into the amps to start them up. Its a great thing and works flawlessly
