Cheap tape does that. If I use electrical tape it's super 33. Tape has to be used on connections that can't use heat shrink such as a tap in connection commonly used in remote starts, alarms, and when installing LOCs. A small zip tie around the tape will also help ensure it never comes undone. Then the whole harness is wrapped in Tessa tape.
Not my fix. The crimp caps were on the wires when I pulled the radio out and even worse than the crimp caps are the scotch locks. Even worse they used the scotch locks to grab power for a 4 channel amp that is rated at 60 amps and ran 16 AWG wire to it. Didn't understand why the radio fuse kept blowing.
In that particular install the customers hood was broken and I was specifically told not to open it. The radio fuse was pulled.
Yes well in this case and for the aformentioned pics, I see a lot going on. Those wire taps will need to be removed along with that electrical tape around wire to wire connections and butt connectors and heat shrink tubing can be used in this case. Remove the tape and use zip ties around the harness wiring once fixed. Tape not needed.

You couldn't !!
**** I fell asleep a missed out on all the fun again LOL!
DIDN'T (have to), not couldn't.
If your splices are done right you dont need solder to make a sturdy connection. I prefer using heat shrink over the connection but i havent had a problem with any of the radio's ive ever done including a touchscreen with a security box and bose sound system
Oh ya you could have installed it just not turned it on !!
NOT AS SIMPLE as you try to make it sound, and part of the reasons I will never again buy anything Alpine! Alpine just obviated their brand right OUT OF MY WORLD!!
You got me there ! jealous of your nissan leaf and your OHMO child molester mini van with all alpine running fooly active ! you dumb phuck !
