Metra 70-1771 radio wiring harness adapter

Do not attempt to install a radio without a harness adapter. With this type of adapter you can do all of your wiring on the bench (or the couch) and then just plug it into the car's original harness. Safe, easy and fast. The 70-1771 works in Ford Crown Vics that are PIs, which do not use the 24 pin harness used by standard Vics. Sonic offers the best service, variety, shipping and price of these wiring harness adapters. The use of this harness will allow you to reinstall the original radio at a later date or if you need to reinstall if the new radio goes in for repairs. Even if you never need or want to put the old radio back in, this is the only way to keep your sanity when installing an aftermarket radio- and it's only $10 and free shipping!

2003 Ford Mustang

Perfect match for my 2003 Ford Mustang V6. Thanks Sonic Electronix

Modification required

Great product for ford owners who want to use a double din. I installed the App radio 3 and had to modify the trim piece that came with kit to allow radio to open. The instructions were also vague and they didn't tell you how to detach the radio after it snaps into place. I am satisfied with this product overall but I'm also resourceful. Someone who isn't willing to stray from the instructions might have trouble installing this kit.

1999 f150 dash kit

I had to do some minor modifications to my dash to make this dash kit fit, but it was a piece of cake just have to trim some of the plastic, the f150 was not made for a double in head unit, but this dash kit made it work great!!

Good product for the job

It was easy for me to install. And the product fill up the space between the radio and the product was about 1/16 or 3/32 of an inch. A very good fit.

good kit

The kit fit easily into my 03 f-15. Took a little work, but once it fit. It looks really good.

Perfect

Came with my deck and with a little modification to the dash it fit right in.

Great price

Item is a must to insure a proper instalation.

Good company

Super fast shipping and product fits perfectly in the dash.

Good product.

The kit made it very easy to install the radio in my 2004 F-250. Looks great.

Metra 95-5818

This is a must for for older Fords. My 2002 F150 worked great.

Works as expected

Fit was fine and works as expected.

70-1771

Used in a 2004 Mazda 3 worked as it should. Made wiring up radio easy.

By Fcss on October 22, 2016 Verified purchase

Great addition

Thanks for including this with the installation. What a great addition

Nice tough plug

The plug was fairly tough to hold up to locking and unlocking it also had long enough wires so you can cut them to your needs also the wiring is real copper, not cheap bi-metal so soldering was easy

By Gene on April 12, 2020 Verified purchase

great harness

Good quality harness. Wire seems sturdy and plastic clip is durable. highly recommmend

Plug and Play

The Metra 70-1771 was a perfect match for my vehicle. I soldered all the connections which took a little time but it was well worth it. Thanks to Sonic for your support, everything went as good as could be expected.

perfect fit

installed a Pioneer mvh 210ex perfect fit for 2001 Mustang GT made the job so easy with this and the install kit..

Wiring made easy

Perfect way to make a nice clean harness when tying in to factory wiring. Wires are color coded & also labeled to avoid any wrong connections, almost foolproof!

Metra 70-1771

Makes radio installations so much easier. Just prewire the new radio, remove dash trim, remove old radio, plug new radio in and put dash back together.

Great Value!

I'm happy!!!

Good value!

Metra makes good products, would recommend with stereo purchases. Can’t complain it was free on my order. Thanks, Sonic.

By Andrew on June 10, 2020 Verified purchase

Works great

Bought this for a 2004 Ford F-250. Worked great, no problems at all.

By Dan on December 18, 2019 Verified purchase

Worked for me

With a few minor modifications, it did the job for me. I would buy it again if I needed another one, although I think it's a bit pricey.

Excellent product

The installation package was exactly what was needed. It made the installation quick and easy

It is good

I installed this in my truck and it works fine.

Installation Pack

It was recommended that I buy this installation pack to fit my truck. While installing the stereo I had purchased, I realized I did not need this. But the cost of returning it made it not worth the effort. The kit did not help in the installation in my 2003 Ford F-250.

Very easy

This was a great product, it was very easy to install.

Metra 70-1771

Fit perfectly easy installation my stereo works great will buy again

Metra 95-5818

Kits that Sonic provides from Metra always seem to work the best

great value

very good product i like is to easy to install and look nice

good stuff

I bought this for my 2000 expedition. I install the stereo my self with the cover provided by this seller. I didnt use the side panels but just the front covers. Looks great.

no value

This did not fit my 2000 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer. Glad I didn't have to pay for it, it came free.

Good product

This product works good but for some reason doesn't wanna stay back all the way, wants to lean forward in the upper right corner. Besides that great product.

BUY ONE!

I highly recommend this product, if you have a 1997-2004 Ford F series pickup this thing works perfectly. This thing finishes off the new stereo perfectly, looks factory, even better! Pros - it works exactly like it is supposed to. Cons - None. Buy one!

great value

Great and very cool have not did a install in over 15 years this was very quick and easy and I wear glasses the print was. Very clear

A must for double DIN install

This is a MUST for an easy install of a Double DIN stereo. Fit perfectly in the 1998 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer.

Metra 95-5818

The kit fit well and did the job.

great install kit

this was free with new stereo purchase and it worked great. thanks sonic......

NEEDED FOR INSTALL

Good quality, easy instructions and install for radio change was simple

By Charles on July 20, 2015 Verified purchase

Metra 95-5818

The product works great it not only looks good but the performance is as well.

Frame

This frame fix right in the F150 2002 xLT, personally installed.

Didn't work for me

The 2004 f250 superduty is not a true double din its kinda a 1 and 3/4 din so if you want to mount a double din you will require some light modification. This product will not really help you much which is why I rated it so low but it may help for other applications
-------------------------------------------
Great Review - Reminder from Sonic:
Note: Major sub dash modifications are necessary to use this dash kit. You will need to trim the sub dash to gain suitable depth and height.

Planet Audio PB455RGB

I don't think you can find a better radio with Bluetooth anywhere for less. It does the job and does it well. Nice touch to be able to adjust the illuminating color to match your car. It is bright. Not dimmable is a bummer.

good value

I would recommend it because good for the price but it could be louder.

By Paul on June 9, 2020 Verified purchase

Perfect

Just what I needed came super fast and delivered on time thank you!

By Dino on April 11, 2020 Verified purchase

great

it is a great value and it is easy to install

Decent kit but requires more mods than instructions say

Used this kit to install a double-din unit in an '01 Expedition. As the instructions and the product description noted, significant cutting/modification is required to the sub-dash. What I found was that, in addition to the indicated cuts, I also had to cut out a 3/16 section from the top of the radio hole and had to make notches in the dash cover panel for it to clear the trim ring. Not the fault of the kit - but know that you'll have more work than just what the instructions indicate. Additional work took maybe 10-15 minutes; not a big deal, just know that you'll have to do it.

Metra 95-5818

Great product with great service! Will always get my car audio products from this site!

Perfect Fit

When I originally ordered my radio it was to come with a mounting frame. Yep it did but not one I could use in my truck. So I ordered this one. Wow what a difference. Removed 2 screws on truck and got some screws (6) from electronics place for mounts to attach to radio (they don't come with kit) and it fit perfect. Radio slid in and snapped into place, frame provided covered all the openings behind the panel what a match.

By Gerald on February 24, 2018 Verified purchase

Clean Install

I will say that installing this kit required substantially more cutting of the dashboard on a 2001 F150 pickup than I had anticipated. The instructions are vague and I don't think that the installation diagram was drawn correctly. Despite all this the final fit and finish rivals a factory install. Despite the added labor, because the head unit is mounted very securely I feel this install methodology is superior to using the standard aftermarket birdcage.

Works

Pros:
Looks nice
Radio works good
Double din
Bluetooth works great
Cheap

Cons:
Sound quality not great
Clock doesn't stay on, it always reverts to the station or source
Clock always loses time

Perfect Fit

Perfect fit for my Lincoln Navigator. Okay quality for the price. Good overall rating.

By MillCityGiant on October 31, 2016 Verified purchase

Great kit

Purchased this to install my new Pioneer head unit and it worked like a charm. I trust Metra over any other brand of installation products! Quality kit at an affordable price.

Bought the Power Acoustik PCD-42B Radio for my 2001 Ford F150 had a little trouble getting this to stay on right but finally got it to do so and looks good.

By James on February 28, 2016 Verified purchase

GREAT PRICE

GREAT PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE AND DELIVERY WAS QUICK; GREAT SERVICE

Easy to connect.

Aside from a pin being bent a bit upon first inspection, connected just fine for my radio.

By Sontario on February 20, 2026 Verified purchase

Great harness

This harness was a perfect fit for my kids 03 F150. The plug is well made and the wires are of decent length and quality. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and is so much easier and faster than chopping off an oem plug to wire a radio in.
