It did not fit the factory harnesses, and with some extensive googling for wiring guides i found out the specific model factory headunit i had (JBL 56827) has three plugs on it, however none of these 40 some wires work for bypassing. It is so much better having a modern headunit in place of the crappy JBL factory unit, the audio sounds much cleaner and more full despite not doing anything to the factory speakers yet."
"As others have noted, the description photo on Amazon as of the writing of this review (the slightly rounded box with the RCA plugs) is an older version; the 2017 revision I received in Jan 2018 uses the eight amplified speaker-out wires and attenuates them, and has no RCA jacks."
"Worked great for my 2004 Lexus ES330."
"This basically converts the 10-pin aftermarket to the 12/14 pin Lexus plug. Plug the RCA cable into the LARGE converter box. However, there wasn't a whole lot of room for the 'converter box' behind the radio so that might be an issue for some people."
"Installed this on my 2002 Lexus ES300."
"The connector to the Factory Harness does not make good contact and left front speaker would crackle and cut in out with just slightest movement of the connection."
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging. One 24-pin power plug and one 8-pin subwoofer plug.Includes Ford Lincoln and Mercury 2003-2005 Turbowire and a 8-pin harness with a pair of RCAs for the OE woofer(s).

"This review is for: Metra 70-5521 Radio Wiring Harness for Ford 03-Up Amp. This is a great harness."
"I had to tie one of the back speakers into the subwoofer for the audio signal."
"Bought this and it saved me a lot of headaches with the wiring."
"My truck doesn't use pin #4, but this harness has a wire in pin #4. Instead I either have to return this and take my chances on another harness or do what I'm going to do which is move wires around (a pain in the ass because they don't come out of the connector easy) and buy some wire and connectors for the 5 missing wires."
"wasn't the correct harness for my husband's vehicle even though I had put in the year make and model."
"Absolute garbage."

"Combined the two ground wires on the Metra and the blue and blue/white wires to match the single ground and blue/white wires from the Pioneer."
"This harness made it super easy to change out my stock radio in my Sequoia."
"First of all it's working now but I did have a couple issues The plastic plug didn't fit the factory harness right away, inside the plug, there are 3 plastic bumps that's supposed to match and slide in but it didn't, center one always fits in but when one side fits in, the other didn't so I removed one side with a knife and then it worked."
"This harness allows you to use the stock amp and add your head unit as long as your head unit has RCA outs for the speakers..I think most of them do."
"Works great on 2002 Camry with JBL amp."
"Took it to a professional and he verified it was installed the right way but that this harness wouldn't supply power to my amp."
"I had to buy Metra 70-1761 that worked fine for me."

Find Best Price at Amazon"In doing so I learned two things.... 1) Everybody thinks they are an expert in car audio, yet they buy the cheapest 4GA wire kit on the internet and complain about it 2) This kit is not 4GA. They do sell a kit that is 4GA, and reviewers say the wire is true 4GA wire, however they also complain of cheap rem wire, missing parts and poor connectors on the Bravo kit. Apparently very common in lower end kits (suprise suprise.....go inquire how much decent real 4GA wire is per foot and then you will see the light, and don't be suprised at $2 a foot or more for quality stuff). So at the end of the day in research, one cheap kit is about as good as another. Multiply the total number of channels on the Amp (or Amps) time the RMS power output per channel. At this point, we need a chart to show the required gauge wire based on the length of the Positive Power Wire. In my particular case, the 4GA cable (the 4GA in this kit) is going to run from the battery, to the passenger side seat into a small distribution block where one leg will go to the Fosgate amp, the other to the Dual sub. I find Crutchfield to have dependable information 99% of the time). As to the max power of this kit, assuming it is 8GA.....the max will depend on the length of the power wire for your application, there is no universal max number. As an example, this kit could power a Fosgate T1000 which is a 1000 watt mono amp, which pulls 700 watts rms, as long as the Positive Power Cable is no more than 8 feet long."
"I admit that I used this kit to install the first amplifier I had ever installed and that inexperience caused some of my problems, but the reason I am not happy with this set is that they only included "1ea" of each necessary shovel clip and ring terminal."
"The connectors included with this are not the correct size for the gauge wire."
"Installed in 2017 civic, the cable to the battery and in line fuse worked fine, but for some reason the ground cable didn't work at all."
"But that is why I bought the 4 gauge wire because I needed an 8 gauge wire so after reading all the reviews I knew that the wire was small so that is why I bought the 4 gauge."
"This wire is not 4 gauge wire. The wire to the left is Rockford Fosgate 4 Gauge wire and the wire to the right is Rockford Fosgate 8 gauge wire."

"Well, I held the hair dryer on a yellow wrap for at least 15 minutes and it didn't do anything. Maybe it's because these wraps are too thick?"
"Compared to other battery wraps i have used these ones dont shrink as well and the seams remain visable on the sides after being shrunk down, I would say its due to the plastics they used for manufactoring."
"They work well for unprotected cells, but for the longer protected ones they are a bit short."
"To be able to repair my own batteries that are somewhat battered but still very relatively new is such a money and time saver."

"Was around the time we were getting ready to drive 8-hours (one way) to a family reunion and there was no way we were going to make it on a radio alone. You have the option of playing music from an auxiliary port, USB drive or SIM Card."
"Bluetooth connection with phone disconnects about once every day during my hour long commute."
"I was about to replace the stereo in my old truck and maybe the other car also, mainly to comply with all of the new hands free cell phone laws. The only problem I had was over-riding the auto tune function on my stereo, but fortunately still have the manual from 17 years ago!"
"I'm wondering why I'd buy a car with all the fancy gizmos when I can get a device like this & save a couple thousand. Every 20 minutes or so the bluetooth disconnects, which means I have to go to settings on my phone and reconnect it."
"Works better than I thought it would!"
"This is painful because I have a 45 minute commute where I listen to podcasts and have to reconnect 3 times on the way to work and 3 times on the way from work to home."
"Once I forward to the next song, at random times the device would forward to the next song. It is as if it gets stuck and clears the "forward" queue when you manually forward to the next song on your phone... For example, if I get frustrated and hit the forward button on the device 2x after it appears to stop working, at some point after I execute the manual forward on my phone it would then forward 2x."

I'd give it 5, but it lacks the length to comfortably place the strips out of the way of feet and moving parts. It does though respond to road noise and passenger chatter, so it tries to keep up with it all while making your ride look like a night club."
