Perfect for my 2001 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer

I replaced my factory HU and rear amp and this adapter worked perfect. The plug is made cheap and the instructions are poor but it works. So if you are replacing the HU in your 2001 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer then feel confident this will work for you.

Does what it is supposed to, may have to align pins on harness

This product does exactly what it is supposed to do, except that the connector for the sub/front center amps did not fit very well.

The outer plastic plug is slightly loose, and the pins did not line up well enough for the plug to be inserted.

It took me quite some time to align the pins correctly, but once I did that connector did not lock very well either.

Works alright, but not for Adrenaline with factory Sub

Worked alright, but I have the Adrenaline series in my 05 Ford Sportrac and it did not allow the existing subwoofer to work. Otherwise, worked fine.
