Installation Notes
Install a new car radio faster with this factory amplifier bypass harness, which plugs directly into the vehicle's connectors and powers the radio. On one side, the wiring harness is color-coded, with wires you'll connect or solder to the aftermarket radio/receiver. The other side has a vehicle-specific adapter that connects directly to the original radio connectors for quicker installation without cutting any wires. Keep in mind that you may need additional parts to complete your installation, including a dash kit, an antenna adapter, and, depending on your vehicle, a special interface adapter to retain audio controls on your steering wheel or other essential vehicle functions such as navigation, video, and more.
