Mustang 2005-2014 Radio Install and Removal

[@jbrianwheaton]

I have watched other videos for removing or installing and honestly yours is by far better than other peoples! you explain and slowly detailed of whats to be done and how. awesome

[@Rythecarguy]

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Plenty more where that came from!

[@jbrianwheaton]

@@Rythecarguy so I hooked up my stereo, I triple checked all my wires , brand new pioneer avh220ex and I have no power, have no idea what I am missing

[@joshualightner6548]

@@jbrianwheaton Same problem!

[@Sean-te9cg]

Star-Lord taking time from saving the galaxy to teach us radio installation. Neat!

[@Rythecarguy]

I don't know what that means but I assume it's a compliment so thanks! 💪🏻

[@SDG_1972]

Can you recommend a radio upgrade plug & play for a 2006 Mustang GT?

[@OctaneStreet]

Going to use this video as a reference when I install mine in about a month. Thanks bud.

[@Rythecarguy]

Hey I was wondering if you knew which plug is the one for radio connection. I’m not using the radio at the moment and it’s giving off a buzzing noise so I’m just trying to completely get rid of radio for the meantime.

[@Rythecarguy]

It's integrated into the main harness. If you want to unplug it you have to take it out and unplug it from the back of the radio.

[@Alexandra-vs8nm]

Thank you for the video.... I have a question. How do you connect the blue cable? Thanks 👍

[@0WaIIace]

Trying to find the harness for my 2012 mustang but through the link Amazon states it does not fit my car. It surely looks like it. Any help?

[@MarkDulisse]

I got a 2005 mustang v6, with just standard audio deck, not a Shaker. This harness still what I need?

[@oscarrivera6903]

Where did you connect the blue wire that comes with the audio red and white wires?

[@Rythecarguy]

Solid blue should connect to AMP power on but I would double check the diagram that came with your wiring harness.

[@astrocat2913]

Any tips for a minimalist half deck radio install? Where can i find the frame to hold it.

[@salisburysteve3104]

AstroCat the frame and wiring kit will come together (usually free). I got a cheap pioneer unit with install kit for around $60 from Crutchfield.

[@sherri252]

Hey great video and very helpful. One question, I can not get my rear camera to function. There was a green wire with white stripe on the conversion wiring harness that read reverse. Does that have to be connected and if so can you tell me where that gets connected?

[@josh33025]

If the car doesn't have a factory reverse power wire you have to run a wire from the reverse light up to the radio.

[@vanessahoffman4742]

Where did u buy the stereo? I’ve been looking one with apple car play for mustang gt 2006

[@mrcutt]

Try Crutchfield

[@cjkelley8323]

I have a 05' and the top cigarette lighter doesn't work. Do You where i can get another one.

[@Rythecarguy]

Check breaker yards. They are great for that stuff.

[@domigrin4886]

This is really helpful! 🙏🏻

[@Rythecarguy]

Glad to hear!

[@weathermanjr21]

What did you connect the sub blue wires to?

[@jonathanbonnett133]

Did you find out?

[@YoDaddyDiaz]

Same. Where

[@tkmurphy3]

Great Video, I just put a similar radio in my Mustang. After I completed the job my HVAC cluster would not light up and would not function in any way. I checked the #10 & 12 fuses, they seem fine and I checked the two plugs into the back of the HVAC cluster. Still no luck, do you have any advice? Thanks!

[@Rythecarguy]

Sell it and buy another car. Just kidding! Honestly the plugs on the rear of those controls are VERY finicky. I would take it back apart and make sure they are very firmly seated. That or you forgot to plug them back in. I have done that at least twice LOL.

[@tkmurphy3]

@@Rythecarguy Thanks for the info, I pulled it out and reinstalled, all is good!

[@papafrito325]

On the aftermarket stereo that you took out (looks like a kenwood stereo that you pulled out) how was it running off of only the factory car wiring? I have that same exact stereo and it’s frustrating, because I can’t find a harness that I properly need for it, but you just said the wiring was never touched, so how did it even fit into that aftermarket stereo?

[@Rythecarguy]

Just buy the proper harness. You wire the stereo to the harness, then plug the harness into the factory connectors in the dash. I’ll try to find you a link.

[@Rythecarguy]

Oh, it’s right in the description of my video. Here you go. amzn.to/2vf7uFT

[@waljerjackson]

when i turn on my car the speakers all pop, and i’m wondering what the problem may be and how i could fix it. i’ve done some research, but i’d like to get your input

[@Rythecarguy]

Sounds like you need a voltage step down for your amp. When the remote turn on sends a signal to turn on it should be 5v. Aftermarket radios send up to 12v.

[@waljerjackson]

@@Rythecarguy alright, thank you

[@jamezlewiz47]

What size are the screws

[@brandoncook1801]

When you connected the amp wires to head unit, was it two green amp inputs? My new unit has 2 amp inputs but theyre not red and white on the back of deck theyre green. Does it matter which one goes to which

[@megadeath4013gaming]

No your good

[@keving1774]

Has the stereo burnt out yet? Does it heat up or distort?

[@Rythecarguy]

No, it’s been great. He’s still using it to this day.

[@crabdancerking]

How can I fix the faded screen on my 2007 Ford Mustang 's radio?

[@Rythecarguy]

Throw it out and put in an aftermarket radio.

[@anti_christ5.070]

So I had the shaker 1000 radio with the oem 10 inch subwoofer in trunk and they hit hard.. now I’ve replaced the radio and I am confused on what the blue and white wire runs to any suggestions? I connected it to the blue wire off the harness and the subwoofer works but doesn’t hit hard like it use to

[@Shnickeyss]

Probably a dumb response, but I'd turn up the subwoofer level in the radio's settings if it has it and you haven't done it already. Otherwise, it might be that the factory amplifier isn't getting enough power after installing the aftermarket head unit and if that's the case, you're kinda out of lucky

[@adrianmercedes4293]

Hey Ry, how did you manage to hook up the rear usb so you could use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto? Did you switch out the cigarette lighter and replace it with a USB dash panel extension like you did in your Xterra video? Hope your doing good Ry, happy holidays!

[@skeetpetite86]

Are their any good stereos under $200< for a 2005 GT mustang?

[@MrFlawsy]

Did you ever find a good radio?

[@brandoncook1801]

Crutchfield. They give you all the harnesses for free and will wire it for 24$

[@davidjoiner478]

Whats a good price to charge someone for this?

[@joshualightner6548]

Hi! Great Video! I followed you step by step, and watched this vid probably 10 times. However I have an issue. I followed all your steps, but I do not get any power to the new Radio. I checked all connections, everything looks good, I even went as far as buying a completely new radio (A kenwood). I bought the identical harness and everything. No matter what I do, the new radio will not get power. When I plug the old one back in, there IS power. Is there something I'm missing?

[@joshualightner6548]

I should mention that my stang is a 08 Convertible with the 500 shaker

[@joshualightner6548]

The Radio is a DDX-6706S Model, if that helps at all, please any help would be appreciated

[@ToxicTmoney]

@@joshualightner6548 Did you find out what the issue was?

since 2008 you have to add the acc cable from other source because genious ford remove that cable from the factory harness

[@williamjeffs7404]

Man does the 14v my mustang produces will burn or overheat a 12v android screen

[@Rythecarguy]

No, when the car is running it will produce more that 12v. Its how it charges the battery back up. If you were only producing 12v or less you would be constantly draining your battery. Your mustang is a 12v system. You will not damage a 12v unit if you install it. Hope this helps!
