@@moorememoriesvideo7070 No Bass, very distorted. Once I hooked up the blue wire and had the jacks in the right place, it sounds awesome now.

This is the best video on this that I have seen. Perfect camera angle, perfect detailed description of exactly what you are doing. Thanks.

This video just made my year! I’ve been fiddling with my the wiring on my ‘03 Mustang for a couple of weeks trying to get the bass to work, and it was exactly those blue wires causing me issues. Thanks for the great video!

The 01 Mustang needs the 70-5519 metra kit. It hooks up exactly the same except for 1 thing. On the second smaller power amp & Sub plug there will be two grounds instead of one. Just make sure to connect them both to the stereo ground wire ( black ) from your new radio harness. That should do it. Same procedure.

No. It will sound horrible. It will not work right using the Metra harness and no amps.

That was extremely helpful. Thanks for not adding any silly music over instructions or anything else that would detract from the information you give here. Also, thanks for actually doing stuff on the video. I'd add that it would be helpful to connect at least one wire during the video, as another commenter said. Otherwise, this was the simplest and best video I've found on this topic.

I used this information to install a new HU on my 01 mustang actually. I was confused about the second plug (the one with the RCA's) I had never seen anything like that before, Once I saw this I realised it was just a remote wire for the factory amps. Thank you very much.

Pierce The smaller harness will plug into the smaller plug from the car that used to plug into the back of your mach 460 stereo. The RCA plugs plug into the new stereo marked front. And the blue wires connect to the blue wire from the new stereo wiring harness. I hope this helps.

Does anyone know of a way to get the CDs out of the Mach 460? They won't eject using the controls on the face. Is there a way to get them out if they are stuck in there?

You forgot about the 12v to 5v step down harness for the remote wire

This harness also works. No plugs so slightly more work but I have bass. Scosche Radio Wiring Harness for 1998 Ford Premium Head Unit Replacement Kit www.amazon.com/dp/B000AS28P2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_iELBvb1VC953Y

Its the metra 70-5521 for the mach 460 audio system

The metra 70-5701 is the one I needed for my 2003 mustang mach 1

I would. Anything electrical like a Starter, alternator,stereo, etc. its a good idea to disconnect your battery cables. Just to be on the safe side.

Whatever stereo you choose will be fine. I used a Pioneer. The speakers are rated at 4 ohms total. I am not a tech person so. All I know is this will work and sound great. If you just use the rca plugs on the back of your radio that will be an acceptable pre-amp source for your mach 460 system. The pre- amp out to the plug harness will work very well. By the way the kit for an 04 Mustang is the Metra 70-5521 not the 70-5519

Great tutorial. Finally after 8 years, I was able to hook up a nicer BT stereo. Everything in this tutorial was correct except when I hooked the RCA jacks to front, I did not get any bass to the back speakers. Once I hooked the RCA's to the rear it worked fine. Thanks for helping me upgrade my out of date stereo! Kudos

Hi lastmotot777, I'm installing a XOvision Aftermarket stereo into my 2004 mustang w/a mach1000. The harness that came with the stereo has one brown wire marked 'brake detect". The Harness adapter has 4 brown wires. Do I wind them together and attach them all together as one?

The smaller wire harness included in the Metra 70 5521 has 2 RCA plugs (1 white, 1 red)... a stereo shop said he thinks the red & white RCA plugs coming off the Metra 70 5521 "should probably" connect to the "Rear" RCA jacks on the back of the HU... but in this YT video she says to connect the Metra 70 5521 RCA plugs to the "Front" RCA jacks on the new HU.

( that would be three wires total connected together ) You need to connect that to the two blue wires from the smaller Metra harness plug. When you turn it on what it does is tell the amps to turn themselves on. The same way it would tell the antenna to go up. Not actually supply power for the amps.

Crutchfield.com or Call 1-800-319-8264 If you can tell them the year, and stereo model ( there are several different Mach systems they put in the 03s )they will be able to help.They carry whatever you need and at a decent price. Their website also has helpful instructions. They will help you. Good luck.

Thank You. I hooked up my new JVC head unit into my 04 last night, and although all of the parts from Crutchfield were spot on, I had no power to the amps until I saw your video. The instructions (or lack of) that come with these things are ridiculous.

Crutchfield shows the Metra 70-5519 Receiver Wiring Harness with the Mach 460 system for an 02. I would call Crutchfield before you buy. Crutchfield electronics. Call 1-800-319-8264 If you can tell them the year, and Mach stereo model ( mach, mach 460, mach 500 etc. ) they will be able to help.They carry whatever you need and at a decent price.

I have an 01 mustang with the mach 460..which harness do I need?

@lastmoto777

Jeremy the 01 Mustang needs the 70-5519 metra kit. It hooks up exactly the same except for 1 thing. On the second smaller power amp & Sub plug there will be two grounds instead of one. Just make sure to connect them both to the stereo ground wire ( black ) from your new radio harness. That should do it.

Alright I have a question. On the large harness there is also a blue/white wire. Where do I connect that to?

@lastmoto777

Mark: The Blue wire from the larger Metra harness is for the power antenna. ( that a mustang does not have). We didnt hook ours to anything. The blue wire from your new stereo harness will hook up to the 2 blue/white wires on the smaller Metra harness. ( they are what tells the amps to turn themselves on). I hope this helps.

lastmoto777 yes but what about the blue/white on the big harness. I understand that the blue wire on this big harness is for the power antena but what about the blue/white on that big harness. Also, the blue wire on my aftermarket stereo says that it is for remote amp turn on. Is that the right wire that i should connect the 2 blue/white wires to?

Mattie just take the two blue wires that come out of the smaller metra plug and connect them to the blue wire that comes from the plug for your new stereo and that should do it. You will end up with the 3 blue wires connected from the two plugs. Good luck with that.

Cody Snutg Check your fuses for the amps. The owners manual will show you which one. There are 3 different amps for the system. If the fuses are good it is possible that one or more of the amps are burned out. Hope this helps.

lastmoto777 [i have a 04 GT with mach 460 system. i bought the metra 70-5521 harness and it didn't have the amp grounds on the rca side of wiring harness. therefore my amps in car were not turning on properly not allowing the stock back subs in back window to not work. i bought the metra 70-5519 harness and it doesnt fit the 04 body style. so somewhere im missing a harness or something

Would it be the same for the Mach 1000 sound system?

Please help:( I hooked up my JVC radio into my 04 mustang and I have absolutely no bass, there is no spot to plug my cord that gives me bass into my radio help please:(

The blue wire coming from your JVC will be for the antenna switch. You need to connect that to the two blue wires from the smaller Metra harness plug. When you turn it on what it does is tell the amps to turn themselves on. The same way it would tell the antenna to go up. Not actually supply power for the amps. You are kind of tricking the amps into turning themselves on. But it works.We tried this 3 times with three different kits before we got it to work right! The Metra 70-5521 is the one you need on a 04 not the 19.! .... The other Brand Kits.. WILL NOT WORK!!!.... Good luck with that.

Mustangs came with alot of different stereos in them. If it is a Mach system it will have a tweeter enclosure on the upper part of your door like where you would look out at your rear view mirror . Hope this helps.

It is actually the right way to do it, but we didnt do it on ours and there has been no problem with ours. Having said that you have a different mach stereo than we do. the 01-02 is different than the 03-04. I think it is probably a good idea to use one. Hope this helps.

This harness did not work with a 2003 cobra Mach 460. Not even close. I had to modify the pins from a Scosche FDK9B which was the correct fit, but use the pins from the metra mentioned in this video. It was a nightmare. Don't wish this on my worst enemy. There must be a harness out there somewhere for this. Ford and their stupid Mach systems, way over engineered. I think there is a bunch of different style Mach systems. It's working great now with my new avic.........2 days of struggling later.

nevermind my radio had a setting that balanced it correctly. Great video though especially the bit about the small plug and the blue wires. Although i did have trouble getting the 70-5519 to fit correctly. the pins needed to be bent a bit and wiggled into place.

Does this aftermarket stereo require a 12v to 5v adapter when installing or no?

@lastmoto777

I would say that is the right way to do it....., but I didn't use one, and it hasn't been a problem for me. My stereo powers on when I turn the ignition on and makes a very slight, to no sound at all when the speaker amps power on. I have been using it for years like that and to date has not damaged anything or been a problem. Having said that..... all head units are different so they may not all react the same.

Will this work with any mach 460 system? i have an 02 v6 mustang coupe

The 04 in my car had just two,but the radio had a place for three. The 2000 Mustang has 3 plugs. I think you probably have a upgraded radio package that is not the same. I dont know the answer for your radio, but I know who will be able to help. Crutchfield electronics. Call 1-800-319-8264 If you can tell them the year, and stereo model they will be able to help.They carry whatever you need and at a decent price. Their website also has helpful instructions.

You can buy it from crutchfield . com ( 800-319-8264 to order by phone.), If you have a decent radio shop locally they will probably have it. The 04 takes the 705521 . the 01-02 takes the metra 705519.

felipe tamayo The 03 and 04 get the same kit. The Metra 70 5521 . It will be a kit with 2 plugs.Ours is an 04 w Mach460 system and it fit ours. If you are unsure it will fit take some close up pics of the plugs and bring them to a local car audio shop to make sure. They may have the kit you need as well. Good luck with that.
