Metra Electronics 70-5511 Radio Wiring Harness FD Amp Integration System, Gray

Found via YouTube video: One note: make sure orientation is correct, otherwise pins will pop out

This worked perfectly for my 98' mustang that has the mach 460 sound system in it

I like that the connector fit but the wires were not in the correct position. I had to repin after going through wiring diagram and testing the wires with a meter.

Installed on 97 F-350 OBS with premium sound. This worked fine except that the orange illumination wire was in the wrong slot. I had to move it one slot to the left (as pictured) so that it was right next to the red wire. This wire dims the lights on the receiver when the headlights are turned on.Also amazon said this would not work with my truck but it did after moving the orange wire. I went to Walmart and o'reilly's and advance auto parts and no one had the correct harness. So I was happy to have this one.

I bought this harness to simplify the installation of a new Kenwood radio/CD player in my Ford vehicle.Aside from a small discrepancy in the wire color code chart in the instructions and a technical support staff who didn't quite follow my question, I recommend the Metra product because it fit the factory wiring harness and is pretty well made.I was able to puzzle out the wire I needed to connect the amp trigger lead. For Fords with a "Premium Sound" external amplifier like mine, it's usually the blue/white wire on the Metra harness. Just follow the wiring instructions of your radio/CD player's harness and connect like color to like color on the Metra harness.I soldered the connections and used heat shrink tubing to seal everything up. (NOTE: Add heat shrink tubing BEFORE soldering joints!) End result was an adapter cable harness about 8" long with Ford compatible sockets(2) at one end and the Kenwood jack at the other. I dressed the harness with wire wrap because...well, just because. Plugged everything in, verified that it all worked, and then dropped the Kenwood into the dash.If your radio/CD player has RCA output jacks, you will probably need a different version/model Metra adapter and you'll have a lot less soldering to do.

It worked perfectly in the Mustang even though Amazon's website says it doesn't fit a 1995 Mustang. The Mustang has a power amp below the CD player which is separate from the Radio and Cassette players.After installation the right side speakers didn't work. I was told by metra that some new head units don't drive the old amps correctly. I tested the amp by putting the old units back in and they did drive the existing amp correctly. I ordered a Metra 70-5513 Radio Wiring Harness for Ford Amplifier Eliminator Plug and removed the wiring plug from the back of the old amp , plugged it in the larger side of the 70-5513, cut off the smaller plug from the 70-5513 (which doesn't fit anything else in the car) and hard wired those 8 speaker wires to the new head unit which bypassed the old amp and every speaker works. If you use the 70-5513 you don't need the square black plug form the 70-5511 that hooks the new head unit to the wires that go to the amp since you are going to bypass it. You just use the rectangular grey plug to connect to the car's existing harness.

My '99 Mustang came with a two-unit audio system - a tape/radio unit (master) and a CD player (slave). I pulled them both out and installed a new aftermarket player using this harness adapter.After getting rid of all the cables going from the master to the slave, what remained in the car were two adapters that easily plugged into the two adapters that came with this product. The cables on these adapters can easily be soldered onto the cables on the aftermarket player using the standard color codes. The adapters are a bit on the cheap side, so care should be taken not to break the locking tongue while plugging in or out.One note:- On most aftermarket players, there is a blue cable that is for powered antenna. This is the cable that connects to the blue cable on the grey adapter to power the amplifier. Now, don't ask me what you would do if you indeed had a powered antenna!Update (12/15/2013) :-This harness (and my Mustang) lasted for close to 6 years together and both were still going strong when I traded my car in last week.

jai du deplacer 2 fils car l'année du vehicule na pas positionner les mèmes fils après le faisceau de cablage, a part ca fonctionner a merveille.

Worked perfect on my 2000 mustang GT with the Mach 460 sound system

Didn’t have to cut factory wire just plug in

great buy......works great....shipped here reallllly fast
