Why Choose This Product?
The 70-6512 is intended for a specific Dodge Ram amplifier-bypass installation, including the 2004 SRT10 without the hands-free-capable option. Its vehicle-side adapter avoids cutting the factory radio connector wires, while its color-coded receiver-side wires give you connections to make at the aftermarket radio.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Connect the color-coded wires to the aftermarket radio as required for your installation. Additional parts may be needed, such as a dash kit or antenna adapter. Depending on the vehicle, a special interface adapter may be needed to retain steering-wheel audio controls or functions such as navigation or video.
For 2004 SRT10 fitment, check the rear-view mirror for a telephone icon. The 70-6512 is not the specified harness for SRT-10 models with the hands-free-capable option or 2004 non-SRT trims; the product details direct those applications to model 70-6510.
