thanks
Thanks a lot for putting this video together. You made the directions I have on paper much easier to understand. It's overwhelming at first when you see so many colors. I just need to do one color at a time and get all the tools together first! Thanks again!
After the half dozen audio installs I've watched, this was by far the most helpful. Many thanks!
Excellent. Nice commentary / conversation while you are working.
You're amazing, I watched 5 bloody installation videos before I came to yours damn it. Five minutes into this vid I got it, it all clicked. I am the most female amateur electrician you will ever find and you made it click for me. Perfect thankyou!
I just wanted to thank you a million times over because I was able to hook up my radio from watching your video. This video explains everything step by step with not one unanswered question. Thank you. You saved me money. I will subscribe.
Great video. Cleared up any doubts I had about installing my new stereo
Best part about your instructions was just telling us novices that the harness connects to the one from the aftermarket radio lol. I didnt want to take the leap and solder them together if that wasnt where I was sure it went. And you're very clear, good pacing and you got jokes lol "You're a wise guy huh?"
Excellent. Just what I needed about the basic understanding of this process. Good explanations. Good lighting and sound. Video blurry for closeups, but I still understood what was going on. Thank you for doing this.
Even with the out-of-focus condition, I learned more from watching this video than I did from the first 7 or 8 I watched posted by others.... thanks a million! What I am still not quite comfortable with is mounting the new radio in the vehicle. The old radio in my '02 Odyssey has two brackets that are each secured to the sides of the radio chassis with screws, rather than sliding into a rectangular bezel. My quest for knowledge continues...
Thank god for this video. The other ones ive watched either show nothing or explain nothing. This is the only video I'm able to find that gives me the info I need and it show me what to do
there's nothing wrong the way you do your job you don't have to justify it your just trying to help more power to your channel i thank you
you had the easiest video to understand and go step by with thanks really wanted to learn this
Never mind, i just connected them as shown and it works!! The wiring on the car factory harness threw me off, but a little common sense and everythinf works. Your video sure helped me out alot. Thanx
I just installed a after market stereo in a 2011 Dodge Avenger, very challenging I will say, but I found this video and it was very helpful, it was the orange wires that confused me, and as for the stupid antenna..didn't pick up an adapter,didn't realize they were different now i have to remove the radio to install it when ever it comes, thanks for the help,guys like you should be thanked more for taking the time to post these videos
Just followed your great video. I used the single crimp method and no stress plus it was quick and easy. Did it right at my kitchen island while watching TV. Everythingh plugged right in. Odd but there was a separate harness with 2 wires from the back of the Mountaineer(2002)in their own harness. I just discarded the harness and everything is still working. Thanks
Bravo 👏. Thanks for this video! My dad and I are about to tackle this soon on his Jeep and you just saved us a headache with antennae tip. Thank you sir
thank you for the thorough explanation of what each pair of wires did! I was able to track down the reason why my speakers weren't working properly.
Such a courteous gentleman with the free information and all ... Many thanks
Absolutely Fantastic! You make it so simple. Thank you for your great viv, viv, viv,video! Took all the mystery out of a scary job. My hat is off to you.
Thank You !!! Very Straight Foward and to the point :)
Finally someone on KZread that can actually make sense of connecting the harness I was so confused until I watched this vid thanks
Neeever mind! I discovered Metra :) Anyhow, this video is extremely helpful, and soon I'll be installing a Pioneer DEH-150MP with no stress thanks to your explaining of everything.
This literally is the best radio wiring guide I have seen, thank you so much.
hey im glad you made this video. I just bought a kenwood stereo for my 93 dodge and this helped me a lot with knowing how the wiring works!!! Thanks for this vid, I'm going to subscribe to you for more advice just incase!!!
Wow! Extremely helpful. I watched your video, then went out and installed my new stereo without any problems!
Great job! Finally a no nonsense, easily understood approach to harnesses. I now have the confidence to do the job myself rather than pay big money to have it done. Cheers from down under.
Thanks, I like the fact you called out the colored wires and where they go!
Excellent video. I followed your instuctions exactly and had a easy and fun experience trading out a stock 2001 Toyota Tacoma stock Double Din radio for a new Pioneer. Couldn't have been easier thanks to this video.
Just came upon this video. Very nice. Sometimes the focus was lost because the camera kept the head unit in focus and not the foreground. But I loved the explanation for the wires and the fact that unmatched wires can be crimped up. Thank you!
Thank you! The installation took little longer than expected, but for my first time, it was a success!
this is probably the most detailed and easiest instructional video to follow on here. thank you for posting. very helpfull
Lol I like this channel this guy talk's you straight up if you don't like it then leave !
thanks yourg man, I like how professionally you put it together, and simple explaination your the best
After a 100 vids yours it's the best great job man
Thanks, worked great on my '87 Ford F250 with a Kenmore radio from my Toyota.
i bought a car from this guy, took of the radio to see how the wired were connected turns out that this fool cut the original hardness and attached the new aftermarket hardness... thanks for posting this video i will do things the right way
Great video. Simple and to the point. 5-stars!!
Thank you for your clear instructions. I have the harness but was not sure about the antenna adaptor. Saved me lost time.
Thank you for explaining the orange wires and black wire. Cleared up a lot! :)
I would like to thank you so much this video gave me all the information on how to wire up my new radio
Thanks. You are the only one that made me understand. Great job.
youre a hoot and you are absolutely right about crimp caps . you turned me onto using those and they are the best thing since sliced bread. i was using solder and shrink tubes , what a pain in the ass.
Thanks for this tutorial! installing my own aftermarket stereo on my 2004 ford explorer.
Thanks for the no nonsense Video.... got my harness schematic ready to knock this out and save a few bucks !
Most helpful understanding stereo video that I've seen
Hey man, that was really informative. Thanks!
I agree with you about the solderless connectors. They work faster, cleaner and better for stereo installation. Great video. Thank you for posting.
I just wired mine myself thanks to your video. If nothing goes wrong within a week, I'll be extremely happy that I didn't pay Best Buy an extra $60 to do it. Just a little tip for anyone who gets Pioneer DEH-150MP, the purple wires on the unit's harness don't look very different. You have to look hard to see the black strip going down one of the wires. At least I had to anyway. Thanks for the video!
Clear, succinct instructions. Very helpful. Thanks
Thanks man for this tutorial. I am buying an old Toyota Camry and the radio in it is completely shot. I will be able to do this in 1 hour over the weekend. Thanks for being so willing to share.
Thank you for this accurate video much appreciate it i am changing out a OEM stereo from a 2011 Chevy Malibu this weekend if i have any questions i will let you know thanks again very informative.
appreciate you taking the time , it was very helpful
Thank you so much man, did use those crimp caps. It looked beautiful Thankyou once again!
great video i was stuck on my installation, coincidentally i was replacing the same radio you were working on ( the stock chevy). look forward to more videos from you.
This video is great and straight to the point. Love the crimp cap comment. 👍
Im glad I could help someone out today

I need serious help on my 2002 Chevy Silverado
Dude thanks very much for the instruction video, this was helpful, Keep being helpful to society.
Awesome videos! Thanks for info. You saved me so loot at the custom shop
Thanks for your time and effort making videos. Greatly appreciated. When you come across it in your business, perhaps you can show what you do in a situation similar to what I faced when I bought my 92 Mercedes. The aftermarket radio and amp and subwoofer were removed, actually "ripped out" is more accurate, from the car before I got it. So in my center console is not a nice OEM or even aftermarket connector: just a dozen and a half cut wires of multitude of colors; RCA plugs leading to the trunk, and speaker wires which is unknown where they lead to. So I have no idea where to begin to figure out how to install another stereo system in my car. Perhaps when you come across a rat's nest of wires in a customer's car you can make a video which shows how you figure out which wire goes to which component.

Good point bro
Axxess CHTO-01-amplifier interface harness for cars with premium audio. 2006 dodge magnum rt with Boston acoustics sound system. You seem like the guy that would help us out with a video install. Great video by the way
this video is a godsend I'm eternally grateful - cheers
Bless brother and very great natural explanination. Hope you have a very bless life

These are fantastic videos . Much appreciated.
great job man, thanks for explaining it!
Thank you, that was very helpful.
Dude this is great, literally just taught me how to do this. I have to install a new Kenwood this weekend in my infiniti, and finally get rid of the old crappy bose receiver.
Awesome video! Huge help, thanks!!!
great video, clear must of my questions
Thank you that helped others confused me!!
This was a big help. Thanks!
Thank you so much this really helped me out and saved me a lot of money.
Thanks that was a great video very helpful.
this guy talking is funny. it makes sense to me now. and i got a great laugh out of it too. thank you for the explaination.
well done....this video has helped me a lot.... thank you
good instructional , , your electronic theory is correct, older gm cars need a constant 12volt feed to new radio or else once you activate the interior lights and dimmer power is fed to existing dashboard harness and radio cuts out.. Also butt splic crimps make a neater job . then put a heat shrink over that ,
really good self explanatory video! awesome job
Awesome This video answered all my questions. I'm no longer ignorant
Thank you for making this video. I appreciate the fact you didn't rush through the installation (like showing off how fast you can install a head unit). What would be the point in a how-to video if you did that? Very down to earth with the side comments. I would have laughed my ass off if you actually answered the phone. Thank you again.
Never used crimp caps before but I like the idea of it and your logic. Gonna try this go around. Thanks!
very good video great explanation!
best video yet thank you
Great video. You do an awesome job explaining.

I watched this after I did my stereo and I did mine just like yours, and by far the
@8:17 my favorite part LOL. thanks for taking the time to share!
