Why Choose This Product?
This harness is designed for installations that bypass a factory amplifier while connecting an aftermarket radio. Its vehicle-specific adapter connects to the original radio plugs, and the color-coded leads give you the wires to connect or solder to the new receiver.
Because the harness works at the amplifier’s pre-amp and speaker harness connections, confirm that your vehicle’s factory setup matches these connection points before choosing it.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
The listed application covers Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercury, and Nissan vehicles from 1989–1997. Confirm your vehicle’s year, make, model, and factory audio configuration before installation.
Connect the vehicle-specific adapter to the original radio connectors, then connect or solder the color-coded wires to the aftermarket radio. Depending on your vehicle and installation, a dash kit, antenna adapter, or special interface adapter may also be needed. An interface adapter may be required to retain steering-wheel audio controls or functions such as navigation or video.
