Please investigate! Automotive Electronics Accessories

I ordered this for a car that said it would fit but it didn't. I put 3 for design and construction. The downside is the seller and the accuracy of what fits.

Pros
  • Amplifier Bypass
Cons
  • has other interesting options.

looks intimidating but is easy once you know what to do

Same color wires. looks intimidating but it's easy once you have an idea of what to do. There is tweeter wiring, but most aftermarket head units don't have tweeter wiring.

Pros
  • One 22 pin power connector, one 18 pin amp connector
Cons
  • Not sure

Works great in automotive electronics accessories

Has worked great, especially since I first bought the 70-6510 and it was a nightmare after cutting to find out it was the wrong one. If you're confused as to which one to get people will say it depends on how many jacks your amp has, mine has two but that's not true, look at the wiring harness diagram at the top of your factory stereo if you have them all Audio connectors on a wire harness will see wires for them in the wire harness.

Pros
  • 204" long factory amp bypass harness
Cons
  • old

Ideal for car electronics accessories

Works great especially as I bought the 70-6510 first and it was a nightmare after cutting to find out it wasn't the right one. If you're not sure which one to get people will say it depends on how many plugs your amp has, mine has two, but that's not true. Look at the wiring harness diagram on top of your factory stereo. If you see all audio connectors on one wire harness, 70-6512 is what you need. Even if you decide to keep your speakers you will need a crossover or bass blocker whichever…

Pros
  • Radio Wiring Harnesses
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Great time saver on radio wiring harnesses

Wiring harness is well constructed and long enough to reach anywhere in the truck (03 Ram 1500 Quad). I only needed two legs. The location of the amp is a pain in the neck. Literally. I struggled with this for about an hour to get to the traffic jams. To access it properly, you must first remove the fan assembly. plug and play It connects to the wiring harness closest to the glove box. Make sure it clicks when you join them. After that it was a blast. There is a Metra CH-02 harness that will…

Pros
  • Car Audio Video Installation
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

Is working. but you lose your tweeter.

First time installing a deck myself. This worked for everything except connecting my tweeters to mains in my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT. Accessing the amp requires a lot of work. I had to remove the entire bottom panel and a few more pieces to gain access as you can see in the video. I feel like a plug was needed to go from the factory Infinity amp back to the tweeters and I could use the amp to power all my speakers which is why it gets two stars. Some say the Metra 70-6510 is for you. If the…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Minor issues

Quality product but check the Infinity amp connections first.

So apparently there are TWO different 2002-2004 Dodge Ram 1500's with Infinity audio harnesses. One is this product and the other is 70-6510 which actually has 3 connectors. It said if you don't have a phone icon or steering wheel controls then 70-6512 is "for you". I ordered it before disassembling the dashboard to get to the infinity amp which had 2 harnesses attached which already alerted me. I went ahead and plugged it in anyway and nothing worked. unless the main unit was turned on…

Pros
  • Car electronics
Cons
  • Some defects
