[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8578117, member: 562180"] [quote name='j.r.']I have done electrical wiring before... but never a car stereo. I bought an old junker 2001 cherokee with a sh*tty pioneer CD player in it, which I removed to replace with a [B]boss audio bv9982i [/B]single din - i scored it new for 50 bucks, so even if it is junk its still a step up because the USB and bluetooth connection are the real features I am after. Anyway - the plug on the back of the unit runs a few cables into a fuse filter box and then they all connect to a black adaptor (picture [URL="https://www.dropbox.com/s/6p0mzyozgzlvyxn/IMG_4723.JPG?dl=0"]here[/URL]) The old unit plug was crimped to the cables coming from two adapters inside the box (picture [URL="https://www.dropbox.com/s/o51fa56i8kpl7wj/IMG_4721.JPG?dl=0"]here[/URL]) [B]The big question here: [/B] Do i remove the crimp caps and attach the cables to their matching colors in the new big black adapter? It doesn't look possible to me... [B]Or[/B] does that big black adapter thing need to come off and then I will just uncrimp the old adapter and crimp my new connections? Thanks for the help![/QUOTE] Can almost guarantee that BOSS HU isn't any better than that Pioneer HU...even if it has a few more features on said HU. I would get something better, if I was you. Onto your problem: I don't think I've ever never seen so many wire harnesses in a vehicle. Why is there so many? Generally, where the stock radio was/is is where you would wire into the new HU. Perhaps [USER=650438]@Jeffdachef[/USER] can chime in, see what the mess is all about. Because I'll admit it, I'm just a little confused about it. [/QUOTE]
