Ok, currently installing a new HU, have a question. The two connections to the left of the pic, what are they for, because they won't be connected to the new HU?
I dont know what they are but i installed the Alpine IVA-W200 in mine without those and i did get the plug and play harness to make it all nice and easy
I'm being told the one to the lower left is for the subs, and the next one is the cd changer which we no longer need. If you didn't plug into the one furthers to the left to the new hu, then was there front l/r sub connection wires on the new harness?
Ok, heres the plan. Take a pair of rca's strip on side-->tap into the connection that I un plugged from the rear of the shaker "sub woofer connection"-->run the other side of the rca's to the front amp output on the rear of the new hu. Now with that being said, anyone know the wire config on that connection?
Just was wondering about the top three, prior to finishing up the install. Per stripping the one end of the rca's, can I ground the negative portion of both sides "right/left" to the conectors negative in the pic?
I've read that the blue/purple is the remote turn on and the others are for the subs. Any issues with connecting the speaker ones up to rca's and going right into the new hu rca front inputs? I was also going to put a 4.7 resistor on the radios remote turn on wire to eliminate the popping sound when turned on. Can I just soldier it between the remote turn on wire?
Is Amp turn on, Remote turn on and 12 v ignition switched one in the same?
That is the correct Metra part # for the 06 Mustang, think I'm hanging this project up for a bit and ordering one.
Thanks for the info, this one helps explain the colors. Any thoughts on the above plan or just wait till tommorow and call the company I ordered the wireharness from and have them send the missing sub connection?
Ground the middle pin, to chasis Input pin, tap into the blue wire on the stereo harness: Amp on or Antenna On Output pin, tap into the both blue wires which are on the connections to the right of the wireharness in pic below?
I'm in the process of having one of these sent since it was missing in original shipment.
Thanks

Out of curiosity, how did you hook up the amp? Did you have any issues with a "thumping" sound through subs during power on?
I hooked my Eclipse head unit to the factory sub amps and have no thumping problem. On advice from here, I hooked a 5V voltage regulator from eclipse amp-on wire to the factory sub wire. I never tried it without the voltage regulator so I don't know if it made a difference. I also put in some in-line 70hz low pass crossovers to keep the high range out of the subs.

I went to some local shops today and i couldnt find that piece but i might just skip over that piece and install a whole new subs and own amps... but this is my new HU
I also came across this on another forum, might be second option?
just a FYI for anyone that has to deal with one of these cars, a potential problem when installing an aftermarket deck. the subs in the doors both have amps in the drivers kickpanel. metra makes a harness to adapt to these, i believe it is a 70-5521. the 2nd plug in there goes to the factory sub/amps. don't know how common it is, the lincoln mark LT worked just fine plug and play. the mustang shaker 500, the subs would pop badly when you turn the car on, or the deck on. i put a 5.6k resistor inline with the remote turn on lead going into the factory harness, and the pop was eliminated. i guess it was just too much voltage kicking on the factory amps, and caused a bad pop.
