Why Choose This Product?

The 70-2021 provides a vehicle-specific connection on the factory side and loose, color-coded leads on the aftermarket-radio side. That arrangement avoids cutting the factory radio connector wires while allowing you to make the connections required by your receiver.

Check whether your vehicle’s factory audio setup includes a subwoofer you want to retain. The factory subwoofer is not retained in select vehicles.

This harness is listed for Chevy vehicles from 2000–2001. Confirm that the application matches your vehicle and factory audio configuration before installation. Connect or solder the color-coded wires to the aftermarket radio as required.

A dash kit or antenna adapter may also be needed. Depending on the vehicle, a separate interface adapter may be required to retain steering-wheel audio controls or other functions such as navigation or video.
