If you did not purchase the unit from Crutchfield, then you may want to contact the manufacturer. That is how it worked for me. The custom harness was plug and play. It's the only way to go! Total plug and play!!!!!
Hi Donovan. This service is used when you purchase a new receiver, we take the receiver wiring harness from the box and attach it to the adapter for the factory plug so that would be no help. I would recommend checking with a junk yard or through online forums to see if you can get a plug and then just match up the colors. Honda may be able to help as well. Good luck. This will depend largely on your vehicle and if you chose the full installation package.
For details on installation please contact an Advisor by phone or online chat. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and give you the details on what options are available for your installation. This will depend largely on your vehicle and if you are purchasing a head unit at the same time.

It can be used to connect that interface when its in the installation package you've selected to the harness of the radio you are ordering with it. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling to get help ordering the radio, install gear, and this service [ Paul Oct 20, ] Staff.
The ReadyHarness service uses the wiring harness from the box of a radio you purchased from Crutchfield, along with any harness that may be available for your vehicle and those are connected together. Based on the vehicle information your provided I don't show that we have any vehicle specific harness for that installation. For additional details on fit or installation please contact an Advisor by phone or online chat. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and give you more details on fit and what you will need for an installation in your vehicle.

When you go through the checkout process for your radio and installation accessories if the ReadyHarness is available you will be given the option to choose this service.

They will also make up a harness too ur application needed usually.. A sales rep is helpful in answering questions as well. They have good service. This is a service that can be ordered in conjunction with a new radio and a new radio installation package. It wires the harnesses according to their design. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling to check if there is an amp bypass radio installation harness for your vehicle.
Hi David. Thanks for your question. Our ReadyHarness service only works when purchasing an aftermarket receiver. We open the receiver box and use that harness to connect to the adapter harness. We wouldn't have any harness that plugs directly into your factory radio. I would recommend checking with junk yards, GM parts dealers, etc. You will want to contact an Advisor by phone or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system.
You will need to purchase the radio, and the installation gear to be able to add this service. This is not a wiring harness, this is only the service of us pre-connecting the radios harness with the adapter harness. You will need to purchase the radio, and installation gear harness, dash kit, etc. We connect the wires from that interface too when ordered with the rest of the gear. We have advisors that can be reached by calling who can assist with placing the order for the radio and those parts so those wires are also connected [ Paul Jul 07, ] Staff.
Sometimes we take the ready harness service option off the website if we've met the threshold of the amount of orders we can fulfill in a day. It could also be that the ready harness may not qualify for that particular order as well. Give us a call at and we'll be glad to check into that! You will need to find something made to turn the wiring needs for the radio to the wire configuration used by aftermarket radios to complete the install and we are not aware of any place that makes such a product.
There may not be enough of a demand for such a harness to be premade. I'm thinking your best chance of finding such a harness is to check Nissan forums for others that may have used the radio in a different vehicle. It is available on MOST purchases when you get the radio, the needed installation gear, and then opt for us to pre-wire the gear for you. The ReadyHarness is not a physical harness itself, it is the service of us pre-connecting the gear you purchase with us.
For help with this, reach out to one of our advisors: or online chat.

We have not been able to locate a wiring harness to help with the installation of a new radio into the GS model vehicles and will not be able to offer this service if a radio is ordered for the vehicle. I wish I had different news for you there [ Paul May 22, ] Staff. The ReadyHarness service is not an actual harness. It is the service of us pre-connecting the harness from a radio, and the adapter harness..
Both of these items need to be purchased with us. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and give you the details on if this will fit and what you will need for an installation in your vehicle. I cannot answer the specific connection question. What I can tell you is that I have bought several of these kits. I tend to buy "project" cars and I add a modern audio system as my commute was long. Each time I have been able to simply plug and play the devices because Crutchfield did the hard work.
Everything is tested and they stand behind their work. One car, maybe my Lincoln I was having trouble with a sound issue and I worked with Crutchfield tech folks and they were great The ReadyHarness Service is a pre-connection service to be ordered in tandem with the proper installation gear and a radio. It is not a physical harness, and does not replace the installation gear that is needed.
It is only available when a radio and it's installation gear are ordered from us. For more detail, one of our advisor would love to help: They should be able to help answer your questions! Wouldn't go any other way to install a new head unit [ Sean Mar 07, ].
Yes it will. Crutchfield sent my head unit with the proper wiring harness and all I had to do was plug it in. It was wonderful. You will definitely be happy with the product! Feb 14, ]. This was money well spent. The Crutchfield technicians select the wiring adapter that fits your car and sends it to you fully wired making installing your new head unit truly plug and play. I'd buy this service again in a heartbeat, personally. Yes [ Michael Jan 14, ]. It's been a while since I installed mine but the ready harness I purchased for my F came with everything I needed.
We do not offer the harnesses that plug into the back of radios as replacement items and recommend that you contact Dual by calling to see about getting the harness which plugs into the back of your Dual car stereo. We do offer the wiring interfaces to help install radios into vehicles. If you need help finding that harness for your vehicle, I recommend contacting an advisor by calling to check on your vehicle [ Paul Jan 14, ] Staff.

We have advisors that you can reach by calling to get help choosing the right radio and installation package for your vehicle so you can get this service with it [ Paul Jan 12, ] Staff.
This will depend largely on your vehicle. I know on the GMC Sierra - that wire had to be connected to turn on the amp - otherwise there was no sound.
If you order the service for said vehicle it'll be good fit [ Cory Dec 20, ]. This ReadyHarness service can be used with either of the wiring interfaces we carry to install radios and depending on the one you get, the reverse gear detection wire from the Pioneer might already be connected for you. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling to get help choosing the best install gear for you to use [ Paul Dec 31, ] Staff. Call them [ Richard Dec 11, ].
This is a service that can be used when a radio like that Pioneer is ordered along with the harness used to install an aftermarket radio into the vehicle. The new radio's harness bare wires are connected to the matching ones on the adapting harness.
This service can only be ordered when both the radio and radio installation harness are also being ordered together using our online vehicle fit guide. It can be purchased when ordering a Pioneer radio and the install gear this includes the wiring harness to install it into a CRV [ Paul Dec 06, ] Staff. They'll make one for your specific application. It's handy and worth the modest price for plug and play.
You can still do it yourself but this is just way too convenient. This is a service, and is highly variable based upon the harness and installation gear needed for you specific vehicle. This is simply the service of harness wire connection, not the harness itself. I did mine two years ago but, I remember one connection needed to be reworked.
A little frustrating but not a big deal. Worked great after installation. Hi Jacob. The Ready Harness service is a wiring service that is offered to customers who are purchasing their new stereo, and the installation products and harnesses they will need to install their car stereo. Please call or chat for further information. It is possible to order this service along with the radio and install parts for your vehicle.
We have advisors that can you can reach by calling who can check to make sure the service is still up and running along with making sure you are getting all the gear necessary to get the service [ Paul Nov 04, ] Staff.
I have used two of the Crutchfield Ready Harnesses. Both worked flawlessly. I suggest you call or chat online with Crutchfield and they will tell you exactly what you need. I love the ready harness I installed a radio in a Corolla.
Check with the engineering support at Crutchfield for your Chrsler. I'm pretty sure the harnesses are made vehicle specific, so yes, as long as you specify make, model and year. The harness is well worth the small cost, it makes the install truly plug and play.
This ReadyHarness service will not help with installing a line output converter like you are referring to. As for the polarity of the speaker wire, that is usually addressed by the color coding of the stock wiring and that information is something that our technical support usually has on hand to help our customers with their installations.
If you purchased your converter from us, I'd recommend calling them using their direct dial phone number that we included on the order invoice. This service can only be ordered with receivers found on our site and only when they are ordered along with the installation parts needed to get it installed into the vehicle.
This service can only be ordered when purchasing the car stereo and the install gear from us on the same order. This way we can open the car stereo's box along with the radio install harnesses box to get both harnesses and connect the wires together.

I recommend contacting an advisor using to get a personal recommendation on radio and install gear that can be ordered with this service [ Paul Nov 08, ] Staff.
I bought one for my Porsche and it was just as Crutchfield indicated. Plug and play. Made my life alot easier when installing the new radio that I also purchased from them. If you purchased your receiver from Crutchfield, tech support will be happy to assist you with your installation.
You will find their contact info by logging into your online Crutchfield account, and accessing the My Orders tab. Hi CJ. I do apologize that you have been unable to add the Ready Harness service to your cart with your stereo purchase.

If you put your make and model the hardness that they suggest is going to fit. My wires came ready to install from crutchfield I had to do absolutely nothing it was a pleasure to install [ Humberto Aug 31, ]. Yes [ George Sep 06, ]. Yes [ Richard Aug 28, ].
Hi Kevin, thank you for your question. Most wiring configurations include schematics. These are used as a direction map for connecting the wires with electronic devices. Each electronic device typically has a unique schematic that defines how the connection should be created.
Electrical wiring is typically a configuration mess. Most wiring diagrams include multiple wires. Each wire is color coded to represent a specific electronic feature.
The wiring harness simplifies this configuration. It provides one connection point for multiple wiring configurations. Most alarm systems are connected using a wiring harness. These alarm system are complicated because of the multiple wire configurations. The harness makes this easier because the wires join at one connection point. Without the harness each wire would need to be individually connected to the each wire of the alarm.
Disconnect the battery. Once you locate the battery, use a hand or socket wrench to loosen the black cable from the negative terminal on the battery.
You will not need to remove the bolt entirely, instead simply loosen it enough to pull the cable off of the terminal. To be sure the battery is disconnected, check to see if the lights come on in the cabin of the car. Nothing electronic should work with the battery disconnected.
Disconnecting the battery will prevent you from doing damage to the electrical system as well as protect you from shocks. Remove any necessary pieces of trim. You will need to gain access to the sides of the stock head unit or stereo in your center console. In some cars, that will require the removal of some pieces of plastic trim. Be careful when removing trim pieces, as they may be brittle and subject to cracking.
Whenever possible, try to pull the piece of trim out slightly to get a look at what kind of clip is used to attach it. You may need to slide the trim piece in a certain direction to separate it, you may need to hit a release with a screw driver, or you may need to simply pull on it hard enough. Checking first will prevent you from breaking off the clips and having to replace the piece of trim.
Determine how your head unit is mounted. Car stereos are all held in place using one of two methods: spring clips or bolts. Each method requires a different technique for removal. Spring clip mounts may not require the removal of any trim pieces and can be identified by the matching pairs of holes on either side of the stereo. Stereos that are bolted into place may require more trim removal, as you will need to gain access to the space behind the stereo.
If they are present, your stereo is held in place with spring clips. If there are no holes, remove the trim below, above or to the side of the stereo to gain access to the bolts.
Use DIN tools to remove spring clipped stereos. If your stereo or head unit is held in place using spring clips, you will need to purchase a pair of DIN tools. Insert one DIN tool into the two holes on the left, and another into the two holes on the right.
Press them both in until you hear the click of the spring releasing. Spread the tools apart slightly to grip the back of the stereo and pull the tools toward yourself.
The stereo will slide out of the console of the car along with the tools. Remove a bolted in stereo with wrenches. You will likely need to remove quite a bit more of the trim to access bolts that hold your stereo in place than you would have with spring clipped stereos. Once you are able to see the bolts, removing the stereo should be fairly self-explanatory: there will likely be four bolts, either attaching the stereo to a bracket at the back or on either side.
Determine the size of the bolts, then use a hand wrench to remove them. Unscrew these bolts and slide the stereo out. Remember that the stereo is still connected to the car with wires, so be careful not to rip any out as you remove the stereo from the console.
Disconnect the wiring. If you are removing a stock head unit, there will likely be at least one plastic clip with a number of wires going into it that you will need to disconnect. There may be a second clip and an antennae cable as well in some cars. If you are removing an aftermarket stereo, there is a possibility that there will be no clip and the previous stereo was wired loosely.
If that is the case, you may have to cut the wires in order to connect them to the new head unit. Be careful when removing the wire harness clip from the back of the stereo. It may have a plastic button or tab holding it in place. Part 3. Test the stereo. Before you install the stereo in the center console of your vehicle, reconnect the battery and turn the car on to make sure it is functioning properly.
With the stereo completely connected, turn it on and try a few functions. Make sure all speakers in your vehicle are working and that CDs or your MP3 player play properly. If you have been able to connect the antennae cable already, check to make sure the radio works. If something does not work properly, review the connections with the wiring diagrams that you have to make sure all of the wires are connected to their corresponding match.
Tuck all of the wiring into the dashboard. You may have noticed that most of the wires you connected to your stereo allowed for quite a bit of slack. Take the connected car stereo in one hand and use the other to tuck all of the extra wire back into the dashboard as you set the stereo in its opening.
If you have not been able to connect the large antennae cable yet because it was too short, connect it now as you sit the stereo in its place.
