   I installed this wiring harness on a 2006 Ford F-150 Lariat. I installed it with a double din kenwood stereo and subwoofer and it worked perfectly. It made for a really clean connection. The wire was good thickness and very easy to solder to.

   Had to buy two for steering wheel controls, May 26, 2016

   Great product. I’ve had my new deck installed successfully with this product since Jan 2016, but my steering wheel controls did not work. Be aware that this harness doesn’t have pins/wires in every hole. For my Ford, you need Pin 18 to install the ASCW-1 unit into. I ended up not using my ASWC-1 from Jan-May, and I finally decided to get it going again. Since I did not want to harm any factory wires in any way (Metra suggested cutting insulation back on the factory wire and taping the SWC wire to it), I opted to buy a second harness, and remove a pin and wire from it to install into my existing harness. For $5 more, it’s not a bad option but Metra really should include an additional wire or two with it for folks with Steering Wheel Controls. There’s a Youtube video about it, but it’s a lot easier than it looks. You remove the red piece inside the harness, push the tan plastic down under the pin, and that frees it. Then you take the your actual harness, locate the needed pin slot (18 in my case, 20 was marked so it was easy to find) and just push it right in until it clicks. I really wish I would I would have read about this before starting my install. This method will give you a wire to solder or connect your steering wheel control module to. For Ford, it’s the green/white wire. I’m the sorta person who will spend way more time and money to do a job the right way, so that’s why I bought two. I really hope this helps! Enjoy!

   DO NOT buy this for 2008-up Mustang. It will not work. It should be totally plug and play for 2007 and earlier models, but not 2008 and above as Ford changed their system. These adapters will plug into the factory harness, but the wires do not match up (on the 24 pin connector) and it leaves a third factory harness empty. If you are car electronic savvy you can probably make it work, but if you want true plug and play, you unfortunately will have to spend more money and get the PAC C2R-FRD1. You will not have to worry about a 12V – 5V convertor though as this harness takes care of that.
