Axxess AXABH-FD1 Amplifier Bypass Harness for Select Ford Sony Systems, 2011-2020
The Axxess AXABH-FD1 connects an aftermarket amplifier installation to the factory amplifier wiring in select Ford vehicles with Sony audio. Its two vehicle-specific harnesses let the installer bypass the original amplifier, with 12-inch leads for making the new connections.
Key Features
- Bypass the factory Sony amplifier in supported Ford vehicles when installing an aftermarket amplifier.
- Vehicle-specific connections reduce wiring work at the original amplifier location.
- Two included harnesses provide the gray and blue 16-pin connections identified in the installation guide.
- 12-inch, 20-gauge wire leads provide working length for the required amplifier connections.
- Supports select 2011-2020 Ford applications with Sony amplified audio; confirm the exact model and year before installation.
Connect at the factory amplifier
The gray and blue 16-pin harnesses provide access to the circuits identified in the vehicle-specific installation guide. This keeps the bypass work organized at the original amplifier connection when upgrading the system or replacing a failed factory amplifier.
Plan the wiring for your Ford
The 20-gauge leads are 12 inches long. Speaker, tweeter, center-channel and subwoofer wiring varies by vehicle, so use the instructions for the actual application and verify which speaker circuits are populated before connecting the aftermarket amplifier.
