ReplacementRadios, one of the largest factory audio/video websites, has branched out!! If you?ve been to our site, you know we have a HUGE selection of OEM radios and compatible accessories. Now we?re offering a few select products here too. Same great ReplacementRadios quality.....in a new location. DETAILS This is a complete harness that connects the factory original rear entertainment video system to the factory radio. This is the only additional wiring needed in order to add the factory DVD system to most Ford/Lincoln/Mercury vehicles not equipped with the system from the factory*. In other words, if your vehicle was not originally equipped with the DVD system, it doesn't have this harness... so you need it. (If you had the DVD system and someone stripped or damaged the harness, please note this is not the factory harness, so it will not match what's left of your existing harness, if applicable.) This is a one-piece harness that goes all the way from the DVD player to the radio and it is designed to connect a factory DVD system to the factory radio. It also accommodates either the remote CD changer or the Sirius satellite tuner option that was found in some vehicles. It is for adding a factory DVD system to a vehicle that did not have one originally. An example of the DVD system this harness would be used with is pictured in this listing. We have several different colors listed on this site. Check out items 391722460611, 391648411194, 391643881381, 272441916526, 272419964006, 371767841496, 371761972705 or 371783752989, for instance. This does NOT work for the 'rail' system found in some of the F150 trucks. If you are adding factory DVD to a vehicle, you must make sure your head unit is capable of controlling the rear video system. (Most CD6 and navigation radios were.) You will also need headphones. Most IR versions will work. A remote will not be required unless you wish to control the system without using the panel on the front of the DVD player. A mounting bracket will also be needed. (It's usually NOT present if the vehicle did not have this option.) Please note: Since your vehicle was not originally equipped with the DVD option, be prepared to do some work. This harness will need routed above the headliner and behind the pillar covers. The video system you purchase will need to be mounted somehow. (You likely won't have the factory bracket above the headliner.) Please do your research BEFORE purchasing. We are not responsible if you are unable to route it yourself and/or you change your mind about the install for any reason. We are also not responsible for any damage your vehicle sustains during an install. APPLICATIONS This should work in the following vehicles*, as long as you're trying to add (not replace) a DVD system that looks like the one pictured in this listing. (OR you're not trying to replace a damaged harness in your vehicle. This is not intended to replace the factory harness. It ties into the vehicle harness in ways this does not.) It is only the harness. A video system install requires additional parts. Please do your research before purchasing.

The F150 is a known example of this. Please be aware that you may encounter this issue. Most Ford vehicles turn the illumination on through the CAN-BUS data wire and those vehicles will be fine. FYI: There are several loose wires in this harness that aren't connected to anything. They are not needed. Do NOT attempt to connect them to anything. ABOUT US: We are NOT a salvage yard.
