In such a way that those 2 things would cross paths later in his life in order to produce what we are seeing now. He is helping millions of people understand their vehicles in the way that it's impossible to recieve the knowledge that he shares. God has worked thru this man so he could bless the mass.

Scotty, you make it look so easy! I love watching your videos!

[@lacrownvic468]

Thanks for the great videos SCOTTY!!! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!

[@dagorodriguez5265]

I suggest using heat shrink instead of black tape. Either works, but black tape loses its grip through time and can cause a short if wires touch.

[@GirlyNCute]

agree

[@frisbee544]

It also loosens up in hot weather!

[@craigshelhammer5683]

Or Tessa tape...that stuff is amazing

[@BL-yj2wp]

I agree, just use heat shrink tubing for permanent repairs. You can get the cheap stuff from China for a few cents per foot on Amazon or eBay, it works well with just a regular lighter for that small stuff.

[@lucknice7266]

Heat shrink is not necessary. It's nice, but a properly soldered and taped connection will never come loose and short out when located behind the dash.

[@madjimms]

Never use electrical type for this type of connection, if it gets too hot the glue on the tape melts and it can slip off under road vibration. SHRINK TUBE!!!

[@DiscoverObjay]

Smart man.

[@ilovemyevo556]

my cars have shocks. i don't get road vibrations in my radios. electrical tape works fine for me.

[@deathxxx1231]

True.

[@yupitsbrian6346]

It's fine if you use th3 good kind. Some of it is cheap and won't hold.

[@AndrewB23]

@Terminology! still need to connect the stereo harness to the new wire harness bud

[@boosfee-bangarang]

I love your informative videos. you've helped me out of a few binds! thanks Scotty!

[@licketysplit7971]

I am never disappointed in your video's, another informative and insightful auto care, that we can really use. I was thinking of this very thing for the last couple day's. Thank you!

[@RoboTekno]

Hmm, great video, but I'd recommend heat shrink over electrical tape. I could be wrong, but in my experience electrical tape is good for emergency connections, temporary connections, or maybe for something like a larger diameter wiring harness. It may depend on which brand of tape you get, but a lot of the electrical tape I've seen in past oozes away in the heat or becomes brittle and not sticky in the cold. Similar to duct tape in these scenarios. I'd recommend using a twist-on wire connector before I used electrical tape. Especially in wiring jobs that have multiple connections near each other. If that tape slips off, you could have smoke or a fire develop. Again, great video, but my two cents :-)

[@tbyoda9475]

RoboTekno Twist on connectors have no place in a vehicle because they will vibrate lose. A crimped connection would be much better.

[@AikidoTubeSock]

A good way to connect is to twist, solder AND use heat shrink tubing or heat shrink connector combined with soldering. I would dab a small amount of dielectric grease on the connection just before heat shrinking. This may sound paranoid or OCD but it makes the connection the strongest part of the system instead of the weakest.

[@sooke54]

@@AikidoTubeSock I try to offset the splices too, so there's no chance of shorting out with another wire.

[@oldmotorguy]

Scotty, I would recommend heat shrink tubing, just saying :-)

[@Majatecks]

Nels Hanson or add pins and insert them into a barrel connector 👌

[@bruperina]

Came here to say the same thing

[@donaldstgeorge4837]

Ditto on the heat shrink Scotty! Electrical tape often peels off after a little while and you don't want wires to short out on that sweet radio.

[@kidfrankie7536]

So you sore then put heat shrink. Or just heat shrink tubing.?

[@donaldstgeorge4837]

@@kidfrankie7536 You slip the heat shrink over the wire before you twist them together and slide it it of the way before you solder. After soldering, slide the heat shrink over the soldered area making sure it will completely cover the bare wires. Then heat up the heat shrink tube enough to get it to shrink. Again, make sure the bare wires are completely covered after shrinking!

[@kathyhoodstock6886]

Another Great video! My Honda stereo is junk and I would love to install that baby!!!! Scotty makes my car repairs tolerable 🤜🏼🤛🏻

[@ColinCKOV]

I've been watching your videos for a while now, I'm about to get my first car this February

[@clos8051]

I love heat shrinks! They make your work look so neat

[@melvinwong4974]

I noticed over time that electrical tape will come apart. I would recommend heat shrink wrap the tube type. Step 1. Spice all required wires. Step 2. Insert heat shrink wrap. Step 3. Solder wires. Step 4. Place heat shrink wrap over exposed wires. Step 5. Heat shrink wrap until secure. Step 6. Repeat until all required wires are done

[@two_number_nines]

if you tape up each wire individually then the whole bunch together it will last for centuries

Yes, also it looks much nicer....

Scotty, What's wrong with crimp on splices? Much faster. If you're going to do the solder thing then for Pete sake use the heat shrink vise electrical tape.

[@pavlohunter]

You would need a t head crimper and a lot of splices which could cost you more than grabbing solder and a soldering pen. Crimping is much neater imo

​@@billybob042665 or a lighter if you're very careful.

No need for anything just use the will of God

[@PongoXBongo]

@@pavlohunter Just get some butt splices and use pliers.

[@electron1980]

Solder and heat-tube is waaaaay better than crimping or taping.

Hey Scotty, My name is Joe. I'm a new subscriber. I just love your helpful tips. If I could just lend a helpful hand on something you may not know about installing an android stereo. At first I thought it was just plug and play but cars that were made in the last 10 years, well their stereo's actually serve a bigger purpose than just music. They control the some of the car's features such as OnStar, door chime, oil maintenance, etc. There is a separate board INSIDE the factory stereo that controls thiese things. So you WILL LOSE those features unless you buy a separate Interface like a oac series board specifically for your model car. Hope I've been helpful. Never stop. You rock.

Electrical tape is old school. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing on the wire before soldering. Solder. Slide the tubing over the bare soldered wire. Hit it with some heat. Insulated and you don't have the tape coming loose when it gets hot in the summer heat.

Got to say, you are the only person on youtube that can actually be trustworthy

Solder wires properly and use shrink wrap instead of tape. Great video and one of the best upgrades to any car.

[@Cardiacmoment]

Loving these how to. I’m NOT a car guy. Now I can do some of these things thanks to you. My future wife is even impressed. I’ll have to invite you to the wedding next year. “Rev Up Your Search Engines!” LOL 😂
