Great Product

After buying several wiring harnesses that said they all fit my 2002 mercury mountaineer. This one was finally the correct one. I wired it up and it worked perfectly as it should.

In the end it worked well for an 02 explorer. Few calls and up and runing.

Great product

Worked great with my alpine nex. Installed in my 2001 cobra svt with the mach 460 audio. You will need a voltage drop for the mustang's mach audio.
