About the Crutchfield ReadyHarness™ Service
Save time and effort
Save time and effort
Maybe you're incredibly busy. Maybe you just aren't handy with tools. Maybe you don't know that when you buy a car stereo from Crutchfield, we include a vehicle-specific wiring harness that you will have to connect to the wiring harness that comes with your car stereo. Crutchfield now offers a connection service for these harnesses, even for sophisticated wiring interfaces often required to retain important safety and entertainment features. When you purchase our ReadyHarness service, we will open up your new car stereo, remove its wiring harness, then connect it — wire by wire — to the vehicle-specific harness (included with your package) that plugs into your vehicle's wiring. We will wire up every available connection that we can between the wiring interface and radio, and we will make connections for any steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately) that might be needed — but keep in mind that you may have to make some further connections directly into your vehicle's wiring. The Crutchfield ReadyHarness is then packed back with your car stereo, so you'll be able to plug one end into the car stereo and the other into your vehicle.
Potential crisis...
What's involved?
We use a custom-tooled industrial crimping machine to ensure that your ReadyHarness will stand the test of time... and summertime temperatures inside your car! Our wiring pro consults the wiring diagrams for your car stereo and for your vehicle to make sure that every connection is correct. Of course, we can't make connections from your car stereo to wires in your car that are sometimes needed (like certain connections for a steering wheel control adapter or a parking brake wire for a DVD receiver), so you may have to connect a few wires for more complex applications.
Crisis averted!
Why should I do this?
A Crutchfield ReadyHarness saves you significant time, effort, and potential heartache. In the past, you'd have to sit down with a crimping tool or soldering iron, match up the two harnesses wire by wire, according to function, and then make secure connections. Now, the ReadyHarness is ready to rock the minute you open up your new car stereo. And you'll avoid the pain of turning on your new radio only to find out that you've wired it incorrectly.
Please note!
Please remember that it'll take some time for us to build your ReadyHarness, so plan on your new car stereo arriving at least a day later than usual.
Listen to our customers
"I am absolutely thrilled at finally getting the wiring harness and vehicle adapter connected properly. It certainly significantly reduces the installation time/effort. Not sure why you didn't start this years ago." — Bob M.
"Unless you do this often, why take the time and the chance that a connection is not correct? Then the time to figure out what wire is not working, etc.? You all fixed me up with one wiring harness. I plug into the radio and two plugs on the other end directly into the car. Swap a radio in 15 minutes. How cool is that?" — #crimpinainteasy
"Just wanted to drop you an email and say your adapter/stereo harness worked perfectly! I cut the installation time by at least 1.5 hours enlisting your service! Thanks again for a great job." — Tom L.
"AMAZING!! I was a Crutchfield guy back in the day, installing various car stereos in my cars. There always was chopping, wiring and a fair amount of brain surgery. I just installed a JVC CD player in my wife's Honda Accord in 15 minutes, thanks to your prewired loom and excellent instructions!
Thanks again for a painless process!!!" — Ethan S.

Well worth the money. Not that it's hard to wire in the harness but it takes time. This service made the installation plug and play.

Customer Q&A
Q
Does the prewiring option for the wiring harness come automatically when I purchase a car radio or do I somehow have to add that option into my cart?
A
If I remember correctly, it is an add-on. If you are referring to the plugs being connected and ready use out of the box. Small cost, but worth it to me.

Pros: Bluetooth, color and picture scheme change of display.
Cons: None on this "watch".

save the money and hassle and DIY
Crutchfield customer from New Market, MD on 8/11/2019
There was way too much slack in the wires, the whole wiring setup (with the Maestro was over two feet long and didn't fit in the dash of my 2012 JK Wrangler. One barrel connector was poorly crimped, and disconnected when I was trying to pack it all in there. These connections should really be soldered. There were about 10 wires terminated that I didn't need that added to the bundle of spaghetti. Crutchfield or the tech who does the wiring should really try to narrow down which connections are needed for a specific install to avoid the bulk of extra wires.
Pros: You can see which wires go where
Cons: You'll have to check each connection and possibly re-crimp, my recommendation is to cut out the slack you don't need and properly solder the wires together

Absolutely Fantastic Option!!!!!
DONALD from Alpharetta on 8/6/2019
2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
The ReadyHarness Service was absolutely an AWESOME option! I'm so glad I ordered it. I was extremely anxious about installing a radio in a Mercedes Benz AND keep the steering wheel control functions. Mercedes also seems to have added complexity to their electronics and I was not looking forward to having to decode MB schematics, or cut and splice into the MB harness. I made the request to have the steering wheel integration kit also pre wired into the Ready Harness as it seemed that it may not automatically be wired as such. The harness plugged in perfectly to the car's three harness plugs and after making the other simple connections, I powered up the car and the radio and viola'...radio worked perfectly, AND the steering wheel controls functioned flawlessly!!! No programming, and no wire splicing. ...just fantastic! I would HIGHLY recommend having Crutchfield prepare the harness for super simple installation...the wiring was not a cheap option and that would be my only complaint. The service and quality however were perfect. THANKS Crutchfield!
Pros: Super Easy. High Quality wiring job. Steering wheel control operated flawlessly!
Cons: A bit expensive relative to the cost of the radio.

Crutchfield customer from Oskaloosa, IA on 8/6/2019
2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
I'm generally pretty good at troubleshooting wiring and am capable but to have this done, worry free and everything work as it should at installation is absolutely worth the price to me. I was also pleasantly surprised when I put in reverse and the screen for a rear camera popped up, even though I don't have one installed (yet).
Pros: Everything worked as it should, plug and play at its best.
Cons: None yet.

Made job easier but needs improvement
Crutchfield customer from Irving, TX on 8/4/2019
2014 Volkswagen Passat
Using this to review harness and Crutchfield in general. For harness was fine for connecting to radio. However as far as connecting to purchased backup cam in same order no ready harness connection included. IT would have been great if as part of this service they added a spliced to power from radio with a quick connect and quick connect added on power cord on backup cam. As far as Crutchfield purchasing. Was disapointed that they did not indicate during ordering that existing USB connection and Factory hands free mic would not be able to utilzie with the install. When called was told that is just how it is and to eitehr put on visor or tape to stearing wheel. However after research found a replacement factory type mic to run to radio. That purchase from a different company made the install looked very professional instead of dangling a mic on visor or sterring wheel. Suprised that Crutchfield doesn't offer that product.
Pros: Worked for radio
Cons: Could use improvmeents in process when getting radio and other devices that power from radio. Also was a bit disapointed with Crutchfield lack of knowledge and products to make install truly professional.

John-Craig from Midland, TX on 8/1/2019

Don't order this. It will delay your shipping by 2 days when all it takes is 20-30 minutes to do yourself. And there's supposed to be a pop up that tells you that it will delay your shipping but no pop up appeared. Really put a huge dent in my schedule.
Pros: Saves installation time
Cons: Delays shipping by 2 days.

The harness being wired did simplify several steps of my installation, it did not prepare me for the portion of the installation that required removing the center tunnel of my car and splicing into the parking brake switch. Additional instructions would have been nice.
Pros: Greatly simplifies installations

This was definitely worth the price. Not only was the radio harness wired, but they also wired the steering wheel control unit. This was a very easy plug and play install. By the time I routed the backup camera cable to the dashboard, the last thing I wanted to do would have been to wire the harness myself along with any troubleshooting.

Don't even ponder on this one, BUY this service. It's a complete no-brainer and was plug and play. Crutchfield wired everything for me, the vehicle harness, the radio, steering wheel controls, they also plugged everything into the correct ports. All I did was pop out the old radio, plug in the new one and it was ready to roll. Even though I could wire the radio and have done many in the past, I'll never do it again. AWESOMENESS!!!!

This is a service I wish Crutchfield had offered when I first started buying from them. I have color vision deficiency - I see colors, I just can't tell what they are. For 20 or more Crutchfield radios I would sit with a friend and label all the wires by color and then do the same with the harness in the car. Even then I would manage to cross connect something. With this harness service the install was less than 5 minutes. Even if you are not color challenged, the service is a great help with the install.

Crutchfield customer from Prairieville, LA on 7/21/2019
2012 Toyota Tundra
While this service doesn't get you out of doing some splicing, it gets you out of the majority of it. There were a lot of unused wires and a few adapters that could have been cut out of this harness. Crutchfield leaves them there -- unsure if that's because they can't be sure on their end or if it just saves them time. It did, however, make it confusing to figure out which wires / adapters were for my truck and which ones weren't going to be used. To improve this service, eliminate the unneeded wires/adapters. That gives less room needed behind the receiver and makes the installation easier for your customers.
Pros: Eliminates most splicing on your end.
Cons: Somewhat costly.

No regrets
Jeremiah from Holmen, WI on 7/16/2019
2011 Toyota Camry
What a time saver. While I have all the tools and am totally capable of the task, this cut my install time by 90%. Sure you can solder and heat shrink, but why... This is not a damp location. Very please with the detail and bundling of the wire loom. Unused wires were cleanly capped and tied off. No regrets. Do it and save yourself the tedious time....
Pros: Clean and tidy.
Cons: none

Needs a small fix but works amazing
Crutchfield customer from Spirit Lake, IA on 7/16/2019
2009 Toyota Corolla
I Love this ready harness because it speeds up installation time sooo well. BUT DO TAKE NOTE IF YOU ARE WIRING UP AN AMP AND NEED THE REMOTE WIRE, ITS NOT THE BLUE AND YELLOW WIRE WITH UNUSED CONNECTOR. I'm not sure if this is the same for all harnesses, but that's for the steering wheel controls. For mine, you needed to cut and use the blue and white wire wire that connected to the stereo. It would be nice if they included this info in the box for reference.

A really serious suggestion to purchase.
Crutchfield customer from Washington, DC on 7/16/2019
2009 Toyota Camry
Makes everything plug and play simply. Instead of having to cut and connect all the wiring yourself. I think without the service it makes connecting your stereo and various accessories perhaps tedious if youre not fully educated with the ins and outs of installing after-market equipment.
Pros: Super easy plug and play then install..
Cons:

This saved me (an auto tech) about 2 hours worth of wiring and connecting. So worth the $ spent. Especially since I had to wire in an aftermarket adapter harness to keep factory functionality. They wired that together also! It was a very good job and I'm very happy with the quality of work.
Pros: saves time, everything's matched.
Cons: none

Make your life easier!
Crutchfield customer from Richmond Hill, GA on 7/15/2019
2004 Ford F-150
Why make it hard on yourself? Make the small investment and let the expert do it. This prewired harness made my install a 100 times easier and took all the guess work out of it. I can't stress enough that this is the best and fool proof route to install a new unit.
Pros: Save time, done right, and piece of mind that it will work.
Cons: None, speed the extra $$. Its a small investment with big advantages.

Makes the install Plug and Play. A Must! Seriously - A MUST!
Crutchfield customer from Huntington, WV on 7/15/2019
2003 Jeep Wrangler
Could they make the install any easier? Only if they sent someone to your place and did the job for you! I had to install the unit on a 90 degree afternoon and the only saving grace was that this cable made the job truly plug and play. Never will I consider an install without these cables.
Pros: I upgraded a 2003 Jeep TJ with a new JVC with bluetooth streaming and four new speakers smoother than I ever imagined. I put it off for too long. Don't be like me.
Cons: Spending too much time driving around town in my Jeep.

A must!
Kohlby T. from Tempe, AZ on 7/13/2019
2017 Ford Focus
This is a MUST for radio install. While I am a tech/electrical savvy person, I really didn't want to spend the time reading the wiring diagrams for my iDatalink Maestro RR & Pioneer NEX receiver, and then spend the time matching each wire up. This service cut my install time in half, easily. The harness I got was perfectly done, all connections secure, correct, and organized. I found it nice that they included a partial duplicate/extra set of the original harnesses used, should I want to move my install to another vehicle down the road. Extra/unused wires were properly terminated on one end with a crimp tube, leaving me the option to use them later on should I need to by just crimping into the other end.
Pros: - Everything was done correctly - SAVES SO MUCH TIME
Cons: - There are none.

Worked perfectly to connect my JVC KW-M855BW to my 2013 Hyundai Accent Sedan! Shipping took 3 days instead of the expected 4. Quality was exceptional. When I was unsure about what some of the cords were, I called Crutchfield and their tech support was impeccable. They explained very clearly and answered all of my questions. I would recommend this to anyone buying a radio!

PLUG AND PLAY, that easy, best money i've ever spent.
Joshua from Liverpool, NY on 7/12/2019
2011 Subaru Forester
When i first found out about this service, i was STOKED! Finally had the opportunity to purchase a new head unit for my Subaru Forester, and i have personally spent a TON of time re-wiring crimping, missing slightly on a crimp, trying it again, stripping and breaking my back over a tiny little car. BOY was this the easiest and best decision i ever made.. (even tugged a good deal on one connection to make sure it would hold up to some abuse ;). absolutely the best $$ i ever spent toward an install. "PLUG + PLAY" that easy there were a couple extra little wires that weren't connected, i assume for the addition of the backup camera.
Pros: Plug and play, SOLID connections, my wife could do it so easy!
Cons: If there's extra wires there's no real explanation on what to do with them, just what they are.

Welcome help and reliable quality.
Crutchfield customer from Forest Hill, MD on 7/2/2019
2010 Subaru Outback
Does not solve all of your problems for you, but if that's what you wanted, you probably wouldn't be installing your own stereo. Connections are sturdy, clean, proper, and well labeled if there's more for you to do. And when I called for someone who knew more than me, they picked up quickly. Having the automatically chosen fit-kit for my car and stereo combination was also really helpful. If an expert says "I can do that for you," let him. (or her, of course)
Pros: clean sound, sturdy connection that doesn't take up too much space. Reduces the tedium of the installation.
Cons: Having the installation steps half done for you can leave you disoriented while trying to figure out where everything goes and why it doesn't look like the instructions any more. It's like having an assistant who just went to lunch.

Short circuit somewhere in the CP2 part of the Ready Harness
Crutchfield customer from Loves Park, IL on 6/30/2019
2012 Suzuki SX4
I purchased an Alpine receiver and CP2 steering wheel control adapter for my 2012 Suzuki SX4 and opted to pay for the ReadyHarness service. After installation in the car I applied power - the LED on the CP2 briefly lit, then extinguished. I pulled the 2A fuse and it had blown. I called Crutchfield, explained the problem, and they immediately dispatched another CP2. After installation, same problem. I called Crutchfield again. After working with the tech (who was extremely helpful) I spent the next hour removing the CP2 wiring that had been integrated into the stereo connector and splicing in a new harness as there was obviously a short somewhere in the original assembled harness. Suffice to say I had not anticipated spending this amount of time on the wiring. On the plus side there was always a tech available quickly when I called and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. On the downside the resultant wiring is not nearly as neat and dressed as I would have liked.
Pros: Great support troubleshooting and correcting problem
Cons: Paid for the ReadyHarness service and ended up wiring myself anyway.

Crutchfield customer from Wellsburg, NY on 6/26/2019

Great service even if you have installed stereos before (several). Price should be 9.99 or 14.99 at the most. Incredibly expensive for something that takes very little time and effort. But the finished product they send you is very well done. It makes the install very fast and flawless. Works great!
Pros: Well done... Makes install fast and easy... Quality is top-notch.
Cons: Price is too high for the service. Should be 9.99 or at the most 14.99...

Crutchfield customer from Levittown, PA on 6/25/2019
2006 Ford F-150
While I have no problem whipping out my soldering iron and putting something like the harness together for a new radio, I knew that the weekend I would have everything I order, there would be minimal time to get it all done. So I figured I would save a little time and let Crutchfield provide me with the already assembled harness. Was a nice choice, as I was able to get my old unit swapped out and replaced in no time at all. Made very short quick work of it and was able to squeeze it in on a very busy weekend. Thanks!
Pros: Helps when pressed for time to get things done.
Cons: Nothing really.

Disappointed
Josh from Ellicott City, MD on 6/22/2019
2004 Honda Pilot
A word of caution: do not expect this service to make your install plug and play, especially if you are adding steering wheel controls. My ready harness came wired incorrectly with the power antenna lead tied to the remote turn-on wire instead of the power antenna wire. When I connected my amp to the remaining wire, it would shut off whenever I switched sources from the radio. I called tech support and was told that I should cut the connection and crimp it to the correct wire. Cool. Wasn't the whole idea behind buying this service that I wouldn't need to guess and connect wires? Additionally, the wiring harness did not come with a pin for the steering wheel controls. This is more of an issue with the Metra harness than with Crutchfield, but still, it would've been nice to have a heads up so I wasn't guessing why my controls weren't working. Now I have to splice into the factory harness. The quality of the crimps was very good, but I'm disappointed that i had to spend as much time troubleshooting it as I did.
Pros: Crimp quality Zip tied
Cons: Wired incorrectly

Peter from Durham, NC on 6/21/2019
2011 Hyundai Elantra
I have never installed anything in a car before and this made it super easy. I was done with the install in an hour and I was super nervous about buying and installing the stereo myself. Not only did I install it fine but the steering wheel controls also worked, all I had to due was plug everything in. Being able to complete the install without incident and so quickly was incredibly satisfying. I now want to go order a backup cam, car plastic is not that hard to remove and replace. The most difficult part of the install was threading the bluetooth mic through the dash, which wasn't too bad because the dash as it turns out is mostly empty space, you basically shove the cord through. It did take them 3 days to ship due to the ReadyHarness service but it did arrive on the 4th day when they said it would. I was just hoping it would arrive early :)
Pros: Super easy Plug everything in
Cons: 3 days to ship

Just do this...it makes your installation process so easy. Wiring a harness is not difficult, but it will take a little time if you haven't done this before. Also just do this if you don't have or don't want to buy the crimp connections or tools.

Plug and play simplicity
Crutchfield customer from North Andover, MA on 6/13/2019
Saves signifiant time crimping wires and provides plug and play simplicity. well worth the cost .... however .... One wire in the harness needs to be spliced into the parking brake using a wire tap ...a simple operation, even for someone unfamiliar. Crutchfield forgot to include the wire tap, however, necessitating a trip to the auto parts store to get a replacement, and some You Tube research on how to use the replacement (as it was a bit different from the type Crutchfield uses). As a footnote, the Crutchfield tech service rep promised to send me the missing tap ... its been almost a week and I still haven't received it.
Pros: Super simple
Cons: None, other than missing parts

I was very glad that I ordered this service. It made the connections on my installation literally plug and play, even on my 1999 model car. Also this eliminates the possibility of making a connection mistake requiring a lot of troubleshooting.
Pros: Saves time and ensures that the connections are made correctly.
Cons: None

Helen from Grand Prairie, TX on 6/11/2019

So totally worth it. I have installed stereo receivers before and matching vehicle wires to a new receiver can be tedious and time consuming. Especially, if it is hard to find good wiring specs for your vehicle. They also wired in my steering wheel button controller. It takes the mystery out of wiring and you know the connections are solid. It's plug and play.
Pros: Time saving Less stress in matching wires and making sure every connection is solid
Cons:

This was definitely a smart decision to purchase. Having the ready harness cuts the time of installation considerably!! You still have a couple other wires to integrate into the system depending on what system and what car your installing but it's minimal. Thanks Crutchfield !
Pros: Quick and convenient!!

Plug in play for the most part, would have liked to have some written instructions to go with it. Some of my vehicles harness where lift unused and I was confused. I was given clarity after a call to Crutchfield
Pros: The harnesses matched up and everything worked as it should have, except the back up camera. Still working on that one.
Cons: Some written instructions or labels on the wires would have helped speed up the process.

Great After market Wiring Harness, and Installation guides
Crutchfield customer from Chapel Hill, NC on 6/5/2019
Using this aftermarket, pre-wired harness couldn't have been easier. My 'mechanically inclined' friend helping to install the Alpine stereo was happy to work with the Crutchfield kit. We didn't have to change the harness mount, as the new unit fit the existing harness from the old harness - which was from Crutchfield, too! A Big Nod to Cody for handling the order with pro recommendations.
