  1. Thank you! I’m a girl and did this.. took me a couple hrs. To get my other stereo out and my new one in, but I did it!😊

  2. You ever hook up a amp to a 2013 dodge dart?? I’m confused asf lol there’s no where to hook up the rca jacks to the back of the radio, what wires do I need to tap the rca jacks to?

  3. Do I connect the positive to positive and negative to negative?

  4. Thank for the great vid! I'm hoping you can help me. I'm installing my first deck and I have a wire harness with 2 yellow which are both 12 volt like you said and on the other end of the harness there is only 1 yellow. There are also 2 blacks on 1 harness and 1 on the other. Do you know what I do for connecting in this case? Thank you!

  5. Thanks for the video. Helped me alot on my aftermarket radio install for my caravan.

  6. Where did you buy the harness from

  7. So I am installing an aftermarket stereo in my car and I have connected all the same color wires between the two harnesses but there is a blue wire on one of the harnesses that does not have a matching wire on the other harness. My understanding is that this blue wire is for a power antenna… I don't have a power antenna. Should I just tape off the end of the wire and leave it unconnected? Thx for any advice!

  8. Yo jp I need help I have a Jeep liberty just did a install but the aftermarket harness didn't come with a red wire it came on the side so I wired in into my cigarette lighter wire and it won't turn off I'm trying to hook up a 3 prong light killswitch but what wires do I use to turn it on and off there's power load and ground..

  9. My adaptor won’t fit and I got the same exact one as u have ! Lol I’m so annoyed right now I have a 2014 dodge charger Amazon said it was a fit !

  10. Do you connect both ground wires?

  11. I have a question so I have a 2009 Chevy HHR I installed a aftermarket radio and it drains my battery.. I connected the yellow to yellow witch is constant power and the red wire to the ignition switch fuse so my question how do I stop it from draining my battery what do I do to fix this?? Anyone I need some help one this one??

  12. So you match wire for wire when installing the adaptors and then your done?

  13. So in order to wire up the new headunit to the Kenwood KAC-D8105 5 channel Amp i would simply run 8 speaker cables from the head unit to the speaker inputs of my Kenwood Amp as well as the blue signal wire? Which RCA plug does the Bass knob plug into the Amp? Is it line in
    A-B?

  14. Yo JPinstallguy i really enjoyed your video because i have a 2013 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LS and i bought a Soundstream VR7HB head unit with the Adapter. I would like to hook up my Kenwood KAC-D8105 5 Channel amp with a Kicker sub to the new radio but i have never done this before. I can handle running the power cable, ground but my question to you is howdo i hook up the speakers from the head unit to the Amp as well as a bass knob? Both the radio has rca speaker plugs as well as the Amp (It has line in RCA plug in for the Amp or on the other side of the Amp theres speaker terminals with screws. Im not going to install new speakers yet just using the stock speakers so how do i get speakers hookedup from the head unit to the Amp? Can i simply plug in rca ug ins from the head unit to the Kenwood Amp? I know its a long queztion but as i mentioned to you this is my first time installing the entire stereo system?
    Thank you JPinstallguy i really appreciate whatever time you spend on helping me! Thank you brother!! 🎶🙏🚗

  15. I just connected mine and it turned on but I didn’t have the red and yellow switched I just did it by colour is that a problem

  16. Do you work with leadfan products

  17. Where do u find this exact harness that can fit the oem 2013 dodge avenger radio? Also my oem radio has an antenna connector and another next to it but the aftermarket that I'm trying to install doesn't have a place for the other connector. What do I do with that?

  18. How do I add wires to the actual harness plug I have a open wire I need to put in an empty spot and I can't figure out how to do it
