Works great for a clean install

Works great for a clean install. However, you must create your own power supply. The car computer will not turn off the stereo when you turn the key off, and your stereo will remain on at all times unless you turn it off manually. It's not really a detail error, but it would be nice if they noted it in their description. Not knowing added unexpected time to the installation and a lot of research and testing as to why the stereo won't turn off.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Almost never

Good harness

This harness can be crimped with another harness. What I like about it is that it comes with a color scheme that shows what each colored cable does and what it is connected to. The only thing that bothered me was that a couple of wires were missing and they were replaced with brown wires and according to the diagram the brown wires were grounded so I grounded them and it started causing problems in my car so everyone browned Cables that come to the bundle just cut them off, take them off or…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some problems

Very good quality and next to Power Ignition (Auto CAN-BUS) works great.

It connects well and works great with factory speakers. No change required. However, there is a catch. I have a 2006 Jetta MK5 and there is no ignition power source on this harness as the main unit is powered on by logic from CAN-BUS. This way the stereo won't turn off when you first set it up and plug it in. You must cut the ignition source power cable and connect it to another source. I found one in the fuse box and used a fuse for it. Now it is turned on and off with the key.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Fading

Eliminates the need to cut off the stock stereo wiring harness plug to connect a second stereo system. The only problem was that it was a bit difficult to get the bulky plugs out of the way so I could fully plug in the radio. Keep in mind that you may need to purchase an antenna plug adapter as the OEM VW radio uses a non-standard one. I've also found that the radio stays on when the key is turned off and removed, requiring you to turn it on and off manually. This can be fixed by swapping the…

03 MK4 GTI - Works Good

Works on 03 MK4 GTI with Monsoon 2DIN Radio. (Aftermarket single din installed). The problem with the MK4 GTI is that the stock radio has a fancy solid state thing that somehow turns on when the ignition is switched on. Don't ask me how it works. Long story short, you need to run the ignition wire from the ignition power supply to the radio so the radio isn't always on unless you want to remember to manually turn the radio off with the button each time. As long as you "remember" you won't have…

This will NOT fit a Dodge/Mercedes/Freightliner Sprinter Series 2 radio

Both Revain Garage and Scosche (in Q&A) state this adapter fits the Sprinter van radio. It is not. Please see the photo I have attached of Metra 70-9401. You need that. Compare with this paragraph and you will see that the position of the teeth and the distance between them are wrong. I was able to remove the tines and line them up manually with the factory seat belt, but what a pain. The job took 30 minutes, but it ended up being 120 minutes. Learn from my mistake and don't assume that Revain…

2006 VW Jetta 2.5 NOT homologated.

Good wiring harness. But DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A 2006 VW JETTA. There is a good trailer and another for $90 with a converter. I checked it out and everyone said this one would work and I don't need the one that costs $90 and I'm fine, $20 and up I'm bad at getting it. I hooked that up and it worked, except the radio never turned off when I turned the car off. So, long story. If you have a 2006 VW Jetta 2.5, DO NOT buy this harness. You need to get another pendant from Revain which costs around

Pros
  • Car and automotive electronics
Cons
  • Not the best
