When replacing your factory radio with an after-market car stereo, the Scosche FD01B wire harness is a must for a quick and clean installation. It eliminates cutting your OE radio plug. After connecting it, your install is simple as the wires will color-match and easily connect to the after-market stereo. Without the Scosche FD01B, you would have to cut the OE radio plug and manually test each wire to connect to your after-market receiver. In addition, because you do not have to cut your OE radio plug off, the FD01B allows you to reinstall your factory receiver if necessary. A great example is if you sold your car, but wanted to keep your after-market radio and re-install your factory stereo receiver. We also recommend the Scosche BOBAZT for a quick connection that is sure to last.

Works

In my case it worked. I did an install on my dad's 86 ranger, wouldn't have been bad if I was the original guy to cut wires in there. It worked but in electrical everything's not all easy peasy. I'm not gonna trash the product for the truck being old so as a whole the product was great.
