Why Choose This Product?

The 70-1786 gives you a vehicle-specific connection on the factory side and color-coded leads for the aftermarket radio side. That layout can simplify the wiring portion of a radio replacement while avoiding cuts to the vehicle’s original radio connectors.

Its 12-volt constant and accessory wires are reversed from the 70-1784, an important distinction when selecting a harness. Check the model and vehicle application before connecting the wires.

A dash kit, antenna adapter, or special interface adapter may also be needed, depending on the vehicle and the functions you want to retain. These may include steering-wheel audio controls, navigation, or video functions.
