I installed an old radio in the Peterbilt truck I drive for work last night. Worked pretty good! Now this gives me a bit more confidence to install a new radio in my '14 Silverado and I'll most likely be going through your website to order a radio just like this. Thank you!
Awesome! Keep in mind that you get free tech support on anything purchased with us, so if you run into any questions during the installation on your truck, just give us a call!
Very nice professional work. Me, I would have ordered identical radio, then I could just skip adapting the new to the harness. I'm just not that brave when it comes to electronics. Yet, I see you where able to add many new features...! I have old car, old equipment, no cell phone and manual windows. I'm old but I'm still working circles around you young whipper snappers.
This is a good video, I will be doing something like this for my Daughters 2016 Subaru Forrester. I will need to do more research though, the seems a little more tricky with the HVAC controls being in the way.
We have the installation gear needed to install a radio in that Camry and we also provide custom instructions along with free tech support! If we can help you find anything, let us know! www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc974/support/ContactUs.aspx
Funny how you breezed right through that parking brake wire. How long did it take a couple of guys to get that set for you? Oh and how many features work besides the radio without it? I’m guessing none. Oh wait the clock. That stereo is a brick without it and if your parking brake wire is a bear to connect to, you’re screwed unless you buy or rig up a bypass.
I purchased a harness adaptor from you. I followed the directions on the instuction booklet and there is no power to the radio. There is power to my old radio but not my new one.

Really on the visor each their own .. great video Besides the Jenkee microphone that should’ve went on the headliner by the rearview mirror and be hidden
We don't have a video for that vehicle, but our technical support does know how to get the radio out. Their help is free on items purchased from Crutchfield and they can walk you through the process. HTH! --Crutchfield
I have a double din avh-x5800bhs and I can't find the wiring harness to connect the radio to the car. can you link the one used in the video I'm fairly certain that's the one I need. thanks
The link below should be to the harness in this video but we have a way to make sure you get the correct one. First, here is the link to the harness: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/p_120705520/item.html We have advisors that can make sure you get the correct harness.

I just ordered a radio form Crutchfield today. Getting ready to do my first ever removal and install. How do I get those posi connectors? Do they come with the Crux SWRHK-65P Wiring Interface?
I have a Pioneer AVH-X3800BHS DVD, trying to install in a 2016 Ford F250 super crew cab. I have the right wiring harness but when everything is hooked up the stereo will not turn on. I have a 2nd wiring harness in the stereo cavity that came off the right side of the back of my factory stereo. Do I need another harness for that? I am not sure why mine will not turn on. Am I missing something?
The proper integration harness will provide the 12volt switched, primary power lead for connection to the aftermarket stereo's harness.If you purchased the equipment from Crutchfield, you can contact our tech support department for assistance. Their toll-free number is printed on your invoice.If you purchased the equipment elsewhere and the retailer will not help, we do offer paid access to our tech support services: bit.ly/2l1NhvL You can also contact Pioneer directly: 800-421-1404Hope that helps.--Crutchfield.
I have a factory Bose system in my car. Can I replace the head unit and still keep the factory speakers, amp, and subwoofer? If so, what would I need to purchase?
Thanks for your question! For more personalized assistance suited to your specific vehicle, needs and budget, please contact an Advisor directly from the Crutchfield website: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc000/support/ContactUs.aspx --Crutchfield
Could be a stupid question, but there were 2 big connectors pulled from the stock unit. But only one was used for the aftermarket unit. Is that second connector not needed,
I am trying to install a Ken wood stero. Model DMX7706S double din radio into my 2000 chysler 300M my problem is that I can’ t find a kit to make it fit. Please advise me on where I can find a kit to make this work
We have not found a double din radio mounting kit for it either which I believe is due to a limited height radio opening and radio cavity. Some sort of modifications are needed to create more room for this sized radio chassis. We recommend contacting a local custom installer to check if they can create the room and make a mounting kit to help install it
We do not have a way to get that factory installed microphone working with the Bluetooth in the new radio. Wish we had different news for you on that subject
I bought the wiring harness aftermarket face-plate to secure radio, and I have all the wires connected except for the yellow constant 12v wire. Where should I connect this wire? Also, hypothetically, if I were not to connect this wire would the new radio not turn on? Thanks
The yellow is the constant 12volt power lead to retain the memory settings of the stereo. (clock, radio presets, audio adjustments, etc.). The radio will work without this lead connected but all of the settings will return to factory defaults each and every time the stereo is powered down. If you got the proper wiring harness for your vehicle, there should be a matching yellow lead to connect the stereo's lead to.Hope that helps!--Crutchfield
Do I need to plug in the antenna wire for the radio to turn on ? Because mine won’t turn on and everything is wired correctly and is receiving power because the ground is showing output. 2010 Ford Focus SEL
No you should be able to power the radio on without connecting the antenna wire. The 12 volt constant and accessory power are going to be the wires you need to ensure are connected properly. If you purchased it from Crutchfield our Tech Support can help walk you through the installation. You can reach them here: bit.ly/2DGSzu3

If I have a pioneer radio in my vw Jetta and let's say when I sell the car I take the radio out, can I buy a different installation kit for a different car without buying a new radio?
It's very likely we'll have the installation accessories (dash mount kit, integration harness, antenna adapter, etc.) you'll need to install the aftermarket stereo in the new vehicle, yes.

Hey I’m having a trouble with the sound, I press the buttons but it’s not working and the sound is gone so what should I do?
First step would be to check your wiring, and ensure the connections are all good and still intact.
