Review on πŸ”Œ Metra 70-5510: Factory Amplifier Integration Harness - Compatible with 1986-2000 Ford Vehicles by Bill Schlag

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality 8 pin black connector

The black 8 pin connector is faulty in design. The connector's plastic housing does not hold the pins securely and does not align the pins in the required pitch. If you plug this connector into your car's mating connector, the pins will most likely bend and not go in and out the back of the connector. I would recommend cutting off both the car's black connector and mating connector and soldering the wires together, or using an alternative pair of 8-pin connectors (probably Molex) or connecting the male RCA connectors directly to the car's wiring harness so that this Metra Dishes are not required. Note: The reason I claim this design is flawed (rather than thinking I just have a bad part) is because I consulted the online Mustang Club and found that many posters express the same concerns and say it annoys them.

Pros
  • Compatible with some 1986-2000 Ford vehicles
Cons
  • Socket required
