Why can't all instructional videos be as simple as yours! Thank you!!

My god, I was going to do this all wrong. You just saved me hours and hours of frustration. Thank you! Subscribed and liked.

Thank you for this excellent video I popped out mine in minutes. Bought an excellent unit from Crutchfield with Bluetooth. I removed the dash cover for the speedo and the left hand pillar cover and snaked the microphone wire over to the new radio. everything fit perfectly and there are no visible wires .

Wow. That was so simple! And you are right, there are a lot of video's tearing the dash apart to get the radio out.

Nice! Simple and helpful, Thanks man!

Great information and love the commentary

Thanks dude, this is really appreciated patrick

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO :) GREAT JOB!!!!! Man you are awesome !!!!!!HUGE THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SO EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patrick high key a legend

Did you wiring harness wire colors match the stock harness color that you spliced into? I noticed mine don't match directly and I'm nervous cutting them and crimping them and they aren't the right pins.

You are the best

This guy is freakin hilarious

Great vid man, we all make mistakes

Hey Patrick! On the original sprinter radio it has a fader. Now why is there a fader? Well, I investigated the back of the radio and searched on google what each pin was for. I actually found that the radio has pin points in the radio for rear speakers. I went to a junk yard and bought the female plug from a wrecked sprinter. I extracted 4 pins to plug into the rear lead pins. I then inserted them into my plugin and wired 6x9 speakers and mounted them to the cargo wall. Now no more blowing the 4inch speakers.

thank you for the video. Once you installed the new radio did you still have the removal slots that the original radio had , just in case you needed to slide the radio out again ?

good to see im not the only one with messed up air vents...=P

No sorry. Just standard single 12" sub in truck box with amp mounted onto partition behind drivers seat. Main power straight to battery, ground straight to big bolt holding seat to frame, remote going to in dash receiver. I did replace 4" in dash speakers to handle wattage from receiver

Cool!

Does the aftermarket radio just slide out without the two tools you took out the stock with? I need to replace aftermarket radio that’s in mines

Those tools remove factory radios. Aftermarket receivers do not require these tools however some use a different tool to release the clip that holds them in.

Thank you for this video. I'm trying to upgrade my 05 sprinter radio. Do you know if they make one that fits an 05 that would have wireless camera capability ?

Check with Crutchfield. They can tell you exactly what radios fit any vehicle. I happened to luck out that radio I put in my '99 E-150 was same depth but it is tight and takes some work pushing wires around and out the way

I'm barely graduated into new tech so I'm good with my USB thumb drive or MP3 player into auxiliary port. As far as cameras go only one I use is TomTom Bandit on dash cuz of idiot drivers.

Thanks, Getting ready to do this. Where did you get your inter-connecting harness? I bought my Kenwood from Amazon,....didn't see a harness listed. Also, as another has asked, did you do a video on your sub and amplifier?

Don't think you can buy this radio anymore. I originally got it for my 3000GT then upgraded that radio transferring this one to my E150 cargo van now moved it to my sprinter. But you can search Kenwood model # KDC-255U

No FUCKING way. What a win. Brb running to Wally world

I like you

the wiring harness your link goes to is for one you have to wire up yourself. It doesn't have both ends. ??? Can't find the one you're using!

@patricktrammell7663

The harness connects directly to the factory plug. Since every radio is different you use the adapter from new radio and splice the wires together. If you notice the big clump of clear cone looking crimp on connectors that is where the wires meet. They are pretty good at being color coordinated so basically just match colors and tie them together
