🔌 Metra 70-5511: The Ultimate Wiring Harness for FD Amp Integration System Review

Fits 97 F-350 OBS with premium sound. This worked fine except the orange backlight wire was in the wrong socket. I had to move it one slot to the left (as pictured) to get it next to the red wire. This wire dims the light on the receiver when the headlights are on. Also Amazon said it wouldn't work with my truck but it did after I moved the orange cable.
