[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6880652, member: 576029"] buy a soldering iron and learn how to use it. heat shrink the wires. that's the correct and best way to do it. just make the leap - you'll be glad you did. soldering is pretty easy. i'm sure there are tons of videos on the net. i've been doing it for almost 16 years now, so obviously you get better with time. soldering wires is easy - especially when they are on a table in front of you. soldering in a car is a bit trickier, just because of the position and being careful with the iron. if you refuse to solder, then you can use NEMA rated butt splice connectors, properly crimped (i.e. buy a good crimper). avoid the el-cheapo butt splice connectors at walmart. find an autoparts store or electronics store or hardware store, or order them online. NEMA connectors usually have a harder, shiny plastic while the cheap ones are softer and dull. but with a short wire harness, this is tough to do. you can also buy a new harness for the head unit.
