Review on Metra 70-2003: Superior Radio Wiring Harness for GM 98-08 Vehicles by Craig Kimball

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Santa Fe 2003 with Monsoon 6 CD changer

This tag fits perfectly. The one that was sent to me did not include the extra red wire. Something specific to the 2003 Santa Fe with Monsoon: As far as I know, this configuration has a factory amp installed. I took the blue remote wire from my secondary stereo and connected it directly to the blue/orange striped wire coming from the factory wiring harness. It would be possible to bypass the factory amp entirely, but if you're just trying to install a new stereo it's much easier to use a factory amp. Having replaced a Monsoon unit due to a faulty CD changer, I have no intention of reinstalling the factory stereo, so I cut the blue/orange wire off the factory wiring harness for easier installation (instead of adding pins to both wires) . harnesses).

Pros
  • Packing height: 1778 cm
Cons
  • Hard to tell
