Made the installation of the new radio a breeze. Works very well and fairly easy to follow instructions. My radio had a couple of different colored wires with the same functionality. I just emailed support to make sure I was not wrong in connecting them together before I went forward. Support was VERY helpful.

frederick from Logan, WV on 9/11/2019
2006 Dodge Charger
it saves time but i think there is something wrong with it. ever time i shut my car off and come back and turn it on its as though it resets the entire head unit and i have to reconnect my phone and then when i turn the car off and get out and get back in i have to reconnect my phone each time, I don't know if its the wiring harness or the receiver but something isn't right. I paid all this extra money and my stereo still doesn't work right
Pros: save you some time wiring and eliminates that step for you and i guess makes sure you have the right connections but read my review and i'll explain the trouble I've been having
Cons: cost a lot, should throw the installation kit in for free if your going to buy and new stereo from them

Great harness but I wish directions were a but better. Two yellow wires and two blue wires that were not addressed in the directions. Crutchfield tech's were outstanding and walked me through it. Also the loss for the front to rear fader was disapointing.

Not fully compatible with Jeep JK Factory Amp
Dan from Scottsdale, AZ on 8/27/2017
2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
This interface doesn't properly work with the Jeep JK Premium Audio system (aka Alpine). It will ONLY drive 2 channels instead of all 4 available. Thus no fader. Thus no Siri on a Sony XAV-AV100 (you need to reverse the front and back wires to make it work). I don't know why Crutchfield recommends this when Maestro RR is able to properly support the JK amp. I've wasted a lot of time to figure out why Siri wasn't working in my Jeep with the brand new Sony.

I recently purchased a Kenwood KDC-BT368U for my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500, and this product with it to wire it into the factory harness. It does help in the connecting of the system, but the instructions that come with it as others have mentioned are terrible, and the master sheet gives you no help in this matter either. So I would say yes this worth purchasing to go with your new radio, unless you are familiar with wiring car radio systems. You will need to call tech support to help you because these instructions are not helpful. But tech support is very helpful so I commend them for that.
Pros: Product seems to be a good and of good value to rewiring your stereo system
Cons: The instructions that come with it are terrible.

Got the job done however in the good old days, you didn't have to splice wire because Crutchfield did this for you. Now we get these multi-use kits for which you have to decide which adapter to use and then splice 10+ wires together yourselves. This kit was a pain in the butt because tolerances are tight and the instructions on the master sheet don't get the job done. You have to refer to the other sheets and infer what is going on which defeats the purpose of a master sheet.. IMHO you lost your advantage Crutchfield and this is coming from an engineer with two degrees and has been with you for a long time.

Mark from Idleyld Park, OR on 5/18/2016
2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Overall this harness works great. I did encounter one problem however with hooking up my backup camera to my six speed manual transmission Wrangler. The reverse wire (green) was hot whenever the key went into the on position instead of when in reverse. This meant the camera screen came on whenever the key was on. To work around this I ran a wire from the reverse light to the radio and didn't use the green wire.
Pros: Easy to hook up and follow directions
Cons: Reverse wire didn't work with my manual transmission

There's nothing more frustrating than trying to hook up that new system and not having the right parts. Well PAC seems to think of everything. There were extra parts included if I had different factory options or design changes. All the proper connectors for the various modules were there even the wire colors were the same as the factory harness.
Pros: Everything needed was included. Since we never use the steering wheel controls I choose not to buy that module but it can be added at anytime by just plugging it in.
Cons: None.

I have a 06 Dodge Charger rt and decided to get this product simply because I wanted to keep the stock amplifier. It's a good buy and it'll do what it's supposed to do. The only thing I dislike about it is the price tag for being a wire harness. If you don't want to keep the stock amp there'd be no need for this. But if you want to keep it this would be the way to go.

2006 Jeep Commander
Installed in a 2006 Jeep Commander with the Axxera AV714BH. The instructions that came with this device were a little confusing. I wasn't sure where to plug in the 11 pin connector. The good news was there wasn't many options so it didn't take long to figure out. It's possible for the DIYer to figure it out yourself. Not much else to say. It works!
Pros: Gave two different options for one price. Long. Well built.
Cons: Nothing

Life saver
DR from Chattanooga, TN on 2/17/2015

Used this to install a Pioneer AVH-4000NEX Receiver in a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. This made the task simple! Had so many wires to tie into the vehicle it may not have been possible without this connector. Chrysler also has a unique CAN system in this vehicle which would have been complicated to work around.
Pros: Easy! I laid out the wiring, made my connections and plugged it straight in.
Cons: None.

No issues with install
MattH from Pennsylvania on 2/12/2015
2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
After reading some of the reviews prior to purchasing this interface, I was concerned that the wiring would present challenges. However, during the install, the wiring went well and I did not have any issues. It works great with my factory amplifier.
Pros: Allows me to use the factory amplifier and speakers
Cons: Directions could be more clear for some without previous wiring experience.

Great adapter module
Bill from Cincinnati, Ohio on 2/5/2015
2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Was awesome that this unit interfaced with my Infinity system so I could retain the use of my Infinity Subwoofer. Wiring instructions could have been a bit better but being 50+ in age I guess it added some challenges. Overall a great unit!
Pros: Compact size and connectors that match the factory connectors makes it much easier to install in the tight dash area of a Jeep Wrangler. Works flawlessly!
Cons: Wiring instructions could be a bit better.

Works as advertised
Dave S from York, Pennsylvania on 12/7/2014
Works just as advertised. I used two of these in past couple weeks. One on a new JVC DVD Receiver where you use the blue wire, and one on a Pioneer DVD Receiver, using the plug for the swc. The main harness connects to speakers, then connect 3-5 wires to power, switched power, ground, illumination and set the dial to stereo brand. Wala.........steering wheel buttons work. I use a mini butane torch to solder and heat shrink all my harnesses. I can do this harness in less than 15 minutes.
Pros: Works as advertised Straightforward connections Got for 1/2 price with stereo purchase Good reviews
Cons: Instructions can be a little confusing, but read through them a couple times first.

Great adaptor for factory controls
Nic from Princeton, WV on 8/11/2014
2012 Jeep Patriot
When I first bought this for my radio I figured it would be hard to get everything just right as the box comes with two styles of connectors and there is a maze of wires. However, all I needed was the instructions included, my radio wiring harness/instructions, and some time. After about an hour I had all of the connections needed. My two complaints are that not all of the wires matched the colors. Be very careful especially with the reverse and PB wires. The other is that the wires were not all the same length. The ground, battery, and ACC wires were much longer than the other wires which I didn't notice until everything was almost complete. This created a slight curve in the wiring harness. It ended up being ok as I had to fold harness under the radio unit to fit.
Pros: Clear instructions, easy to follow
Cons: No uniform wire length between ground, battery, ACC and the remaining

Pretty Easy Once You Know What To Do
MissouriDad from Wentzville, MO on 2/18/2014
2008 Chrysler Town and Country
This came with my Pioneer FH-X700BT and I was very pleased with how it has worked in our 2008 Town And Country. This is the first car stereo I have installed so, having two wiring harnesses in the package meant I had to uninstall the old stereo before connecting and heat shrinking the wires. Maybe not a big deal to an experienced installer but I really had no idea how long this would take. Thankfully, there are several good videos on connecting wiring harnesses on Youtube and that gave me all the information I needed to go forward. All told, the total install may have taken me 60-90 minutes to complete and I am sure I can beat that in my next car!
Pros: It worked perfectly once I figured out what I was going to do.
Cons: The instructions were very basic and, with me being a newbie, I had to turn to Youtube to get an idea of what I needed to do. Once I did, however, their instructions all made sense.

C2R-CHY4 Install
Noel from Wahsington on 2/8/2014
Unfortunately this was third wiring harness which could have been avoided by calling Crutchfield first. This was only an issue due to the vehicle had a CAN-BUS system which is a nightmare (my opinion). There is also a mistake in the wiring diagram sent by Crutchfield that states the 12V+ needs to go to a 12V+ when the vehicle is on (cigarette lighter). This will cause a multitude of issues with the CAN-BUS system and shouldn't be connected to an external power source (keep wiring inside the wiring harness).
Pros: Good labeling of the wires and easy to install.
Cons: Watch out for the 12V+ acc mistake in the instructions as it is incorrect. Also would be great if the front to rear fade would work but this is an issue with the CAN-BUS and the factory amplifier and not the C2R-CHY4 harness.

Seemed to be an easy install but of all the installs I have done, these directions were the worst. Took a little longer than normal and 1 call to Crutchfield's AWESOME tech support but got everything hooked up and works fine.

2011 Ram 1500 stereo upgrade made easy using the PAC C2R-CHY4 Factory
Rammand from Winder, GA on 6/22/2013
Using this device made installing my aftermarket head unit a breeze to install. You just have to make sure that you read the wiring instructins on both the pac unit and your head unit. Sometimes you might have to review the instructions a couple of times before connecting the wires. If you do this you wont have any problems at all. However should you have any trouble Crutchfield is just a phone call away. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. I hope it will help you to put aside any doubts you might have about being able to install your head unit!
Pros: Very easy to install. Works perfectly in 2011 dodge ram 1500. Keeps all important features active after new head unit is installed.
Cons: The price is a little high. But if you are considering the purchase of a new head unit then take advantage of Crutchfield's offer of 50% off the price of this unit with the purchase of a new stereo from them.

Ok, but needs improvement
Kevin from Grand Rapids, MI on 5/13/2013
2009 Jeep Wrangler
The actual connector part is nice in the fact that it mates up perfectly with the factory harness connection. What's not so nice is the fact you have to solder or splice all of the wires to the connector that goes to the radio (so much for plug and play). I used some crimp connectors and that helped a lot (the kit really should supply these for the cost). The instructions are a little confusing and you probably will have to call Crutchfield support at some point during your install, like to figure out if you need any of the extra wires that it has. I agree with the other Wrangler owners that there isn't much room behind the radio for the actual module, so you just have to squeeze it in wherever you can.
Pros: The wires are color coded and match the ones from the radio harness
Cons: Unclear instructions, no supplied connectors/splices

Meh, is right. Not sure if this piece is really worth the dollar amount. Kinda confusing because of the 2 small plugs that come with each set of wires.
Pros: One of two harnesses was a match to OEM plug
Cons: Had to solder wires to Kenwood unit after taking out OEM radio and figuring out which harness to use. Not really sure that the PAC actually helped with this install as not much integration with my Wrangler. Costly for basically just a wiring harness.

Poor wiring diagram
Matty ice from Staten Island,NY on 1/17/2013
2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I only got this because I was advised that with my jeep wrangler, I needed it so that the new stereo would work. The wiring diagram that came in the package was pretty poor. I had to call Crutchfield a few times to get it right. They were very helpful each time and got me through it. The opening in my jeep was very tight. There was not a lot of room behind the stereo. This adapter is not huge but seems to take up a lot of space where there is none. I had to move it around a few times so I could slide the radio all the way back. If I wasn't told that I needed it I wouldn't have gotten it. I will trust that Crutchfield gave me good advice.
Pros: Only use if necessary
Cons: Takes up extra space where there is none.

Sonsword from VA on 6/18/2012
2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I guess I am use to a wireing harness having plugs on both ends, but not the case here. A plug on one end for the car and a mess of wires on the other. The instructions were useless as I also had the steering wheel adapter wires to contend with. It is NOT color matching. I guess I was foolish to thin this was a harness for a Pioneer to a Chrysler instead of anything to a Chrysler. Thank god for Crutchfield being on the ball and able to tell me over the phone (10 minues) what wire to what wire. I then spent another 30 stripping and connecting wires just for the harness.
Pros: it works
Cons: instructions are terrible

too complicated
joe from eagan, mn on 6/15/2012
2011 Jeep Patriot
Much more involved than I was prepared for. I was under the impression I could just connect a few harnesses together by snapping into some sockets. This setup required me to splice close to a dozen different wires together. I ended up returning the radio to Crutchfield.
Pros: never found any
Cons: Not ready for prime time as far as simplicity.

I got this for my 2008 Jeep Commander and like my title says it does what it's supposed to do. The instructions could have a little more clear but I got it with no trouble.

Simple Plug and Play

Make sure you tie in the right plug and that is pretty much it.
Pros:
Cons: I have a 2009 Dodge Ram with the factory amp and had to wire a little differently but workes great.

Works well
Wayne from South Jersey on 4/24/2012
2005 Dodge Durango
I used this device on my 2005 Durango to install a new Kenwood navigation unit. While some people complain about the instructions, they covered everything I needed to install it properly. I've done 5 or 6 radio replacements in the past on various cars, so maybe the instructions are easier when you already know what you are doing. Plug and play is correct for connecting to the factory adapter, but like any install, you will need to solder or crimp to the harness for the radio. This worked will with the SWI-JACK to maintain steering wheel controls. The only mistake I made was from reading to fast - if you have the factory Infinity amp, you need to install the front speaker wires from the radio to the rear speaker wires on this box.
Pros: easy to install, works
Cons: none

John F. from Panama City Beach, FL on 4/8/2012
2010 Dodge Ram 1500
Used this in my 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab. If you don't have steering wheel controls for your stereo, just tape off the interface marked SWC and let it hang.. Plug the CAN interface into the blue PAC. If you have "extra" wires like I did off the CAN interface (green, red/white and purple/white wires), just tape them off and let them hang. I also had the blue wire (antenna on input wire) extra and just taped it off and let it hang. Clip off the ground terminal on the black wire of the radio harness and connect that black wire to the black wire of the PAC. Use the red press on type wire connectors (18-22 ga wire type) that can be purchased anywhere for all connections. Hope this helps someone.
Pros: It works.
Cons: The acronyms used in the instructions for some wires weren't explained, but they were wires I didn't need to connect to anything anyway.

You Might Need This
Oscar M. from Miami, FL on 3/31/2012
2009 Dodge Charger
Bought this harness for a Pioneer DVD on my 09 Charger. product quality is good. there were two harnesses in the package, so one fits my car. instructions for this harness was the worst i have ever seen. i almost had to call tech support. you prob need to be a prof installer to understand them. and im pretty handy. thats the only reason i gave it 2 stars. if you have a basic 4 speaker system in your car, you dont need this harness. just use the factory harness from your old stereo. you do need this product if you have or are planning to install the accesories such as blue tooth, s. wheel controls, amp, GPS, sirius etc...
Pros: the ability to "plug and play" all the different accesories in your car.
Cons: Price. instructions sheet is useless unless you have a degree in astro physics.

Dave from Augusta, Ga on 3/29/2012
2008 Dodge Ram 1500
Worked out nicely. Made installation pretty easy. Only thing that would have made it easier is if it had a plug that fit the head unit side too. I understand though that would require making hundreds if not thousands of variations to achieve this.
Pros: Easy for someone with some technical knowledge, free
Cons: Not recommended for someone who knows nothing about wiring

Not Plug and Play, But It Did Its Job
Hawkeye WA from Seattle, WA on 3/19/2012
2010 Jeep Wrangler
I'll be brief as this is largely a seconding of what others have written. My vehicle: 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport. The instructions are poor - they essentially make IKEA directions seem thoughtful and articulate. I had to read them several times to get an idea of what I needed to do. It uses acronyms that I didn't understand, which made things more complicated. The labeling of the items that even came with the packages was poor (there were two adaptors and a plastic box thingy, that I had no idea what to do with). However, after tinkering with it for quite some time and a little trial and error, I figured things out. Once I did, it did work and do what it's supposed to, so I give credit there. I felt like this was misrepresented a bit - it said plug and play, and that is not the case. I'd seen true plug and play adaptors in Quadratec for Sony head units that really where plug and play; this requires extensive splicing of the adaptor wires to the head unit (Alpine in my case) to get it to work. Also note that you will have a rat's nest of wires plus the "little plastic box thingy" I mentioned earlier crammed behind your head unit once installed. Plan for a considerable amount of work figuring out how to find a home for all these items before being able to put in your head unit. Again, works but was much more a pain than I expected. Just wish I would have known the amount of effort it was going to take for installation.
Pros: It works as advertised; functionality once installed was flawless for me
Cons: Horrid instructions Not a plug and play adaptor

Could use better instructions
mbood82 from Lewiston, ME on 3/7/2012
2006 Dodge Magnum
Overall the unit seems to work but the instructions are very lacking. Presently my AM/FM is not working due to an antenna issue, it appears to be a trigger issue with the remote power on for the antenna amplifier. Still working out the details if it is a PAC issue or a car issue but the wiring instructions were too vague to be of any help at all.
Pros: Does not require cutting the factory harness or finding alternate switched power.
Cons: Potential issues with antenna and poor instructions.

PAC Chrysler Radio Replacement Interface
Crutchfield customer from Hawaii on 3/4/2012
2008 Jeep Wrangler
Great product! This interface allows using an aftermarket stereo with your OEM system. You will not open the box and find a little leprechaun inside to wire it up for you. You will have to read instructions, connect wires, and have a general knowledge of which way is up in order to install this. If you know nothing about wiring electronics, or expect this to be a plug-and-play, TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL TO HAVE INSTALLED!
Pros: Works perfectly. Installed an aftermarket stereo without changing OEM speakers or wiring. For my particular vehicle, I didn't even have to remotely tap into the reverse wire for the camera, it was right there!
Cons: None. Does what it's supposed to.

Don't be fooled by "Plug and Play"!!!!!
Colin from Seattle, WA on 2/16/2012
2008 Jeep Wrangler
I gave this two stars because eventually it worked as it should. HOWEVER, my expectations of plug and play and simplifying the install were different than the reality of this product. The package comes with 2 separate adapters and you first need to figure out which one you use. Then you have to match up as many wires to your aftermarket wire harness as you can. Then you have to strip and connect wire to wire. Because the kit itself is quite large you also have to be able to fit it somewhere back behind the stereo where there is limited space to begin with. It took a good few hours all together when the item description leads the customer to believe you can plug in from your factory harness directly to the aftermarket stereo and boom, you have sound. Not the case.
Pros: did end up working, all functions I expected work fine.
Cons: misleading item description and involves intricate detail when connecting separate wires for separate functions.

Wiring confusion
Terry from Alabama on 2/8/2012
2008 Dodge Ram 1500
Unit works well with the CDE 123 in my Dodge Ram. A little extra time required to get Tech support to guide me through the wiring. Crutchfield Techs were extremely helpful with this instal. The PAC techs seemed rather indifferent to my phone call.

Works for me
Jimbobengineer from Prescott, AZ on 2/6/2012

It just interfaces the factory harness to whatever came with your new stereo. I got my Pioneer App Radio harnesses and this harness and soldered them together and heat shrink it all.
Pros: Clear identified leads
Cons: little bulky, size of a deck of cards or smaller.

Klockwerk187 from Waynesburg, Pa on 1/14/2012
2008 Jeep Commander
It works wonderfully, AFTER you figure it out. My only complaint is I cannot tune past volume 30 on my aftermarket stereo (out of 40), it causes a cracking in my tweeters (I have a 6 speaker system) This is kind of a turn off and disappointment but I can live with it, I'm not one to BLAST music anyway..I've only had it installed for one day so don't have much hands on experience but I wired everything and plugged it in and it worked!!! I didn't feel like buying another factory stereo and going to the dealer to get it vin programmed so this unit allows the vehicle to program the pac unit itself. I DO recommend it.
Pros: Easy to install, WORKS, Didn't kick on engine light abs light etc like my factory replacement did because I didn't have to get it programmed like I would have THAT.
Cons: Expensive, My personal problem is I can't tune past volume 30 without tweeter issues.

total frustration
thomas w. from harrison,TN on 8/21/2011
It has now been almost three weeks since I received the car stereo equipment I ordered for my Dodge Dakota,and still I have a gaping hole in my dash with no stereo mounted there.The problem is this PAC interface,Which is necessary to connect my Kenwood head unit to my factory wiring harness.I now have my second PAC interface and still it will not fire up my stereo.I have now made eight calls to customer service,and have spent several hours sitting in my truck ,in near 100 degree heat,trying all the things they recommend I try.They are very patient and helpful,but I still have no music.Now I am told that this interface is probably not wired right for my truck.Crutchfield is a great company,but PAC is making them look very bad.This ordeal may well break me of mail ordering electronic equipment.

JimmyP from Dinwiddie, VA on 4/7/2011
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with what I have come to understand is a "frankenstein" factory radio system. I have the basic REF radio. No CD changer, no navigation. On the surface, that would call for you to input into Crutchfield's "outfit my car" as "without Navigation, without Boston Acoustics." This calls for the Chrysler XSVI-6502 harness. This will work, unless, like me, you have the "frankenstein" system with the basic REF radio but WITH the factory Boston Acoustics amplifier. This harness will not work with this system. To determine whether your like me, look into the left vent in the rear cargo area. If you see the corner of a silver box, then that is the amp. Now you need to insert "without navigation, WITH Boston Acoustics sound system" into the "Outfit My Car." This will then recommend the CORRECT harness: PAC C2R-CHY4. This harness provides power to the factory amp, whereas the XSVI does not. After almost a month of research and trial and error with several different things, I finally figured this all out. Wiring diagram and instructions are easy to figure out. The wiring harness has two power leads and two ground leads. Just hook both of these together into your receiver leads. Hope this helps someone with the same issue. Chrysler's CAN-BUS system makes for a headache, but this harness makes it easy.

TK from Tucson, AZ on 11/20/2010

Kit came with 2 adapters depending on you specific connection. Other one not used. I didn'tt realize the rear Faders would not work. Apparently the Chrysler fader controls are through the CAN interface. Disappointed in this. Harness quite easy to solder to radio, but not all wire connections are used in my vehicle. More explanation needed on this.

Was disappointed in only that I had to splice the wires from the two harnesses together to work. Not a real big, but just wasn't prepared for that and it was explained (at least that I saw) when I ordered radio and harness. Other then that, it seems to work. Just hope the splicing holds.

2006 Ram
CMaster2082 from CT on 7/29/2010
This product definitely made my aftermarket radio work with my ram"s infinity system. I didn't have to do any cutting to the factory harness or wiring. I would have gave it a 5 star, but the only thing that held me back was that I lost the ability to use the factory video entertainment system. So now I have to remove it and buy a new one that will work with my aftermarket radio. If you have any questions on wiring this product their techs are great. I had a couple of questions while installing it and the walked me step by step over the phone.
