Love your explanation of the bypass harness. I will be doing this on my son's '03 Ram 2500. You clarified very well the interconnect plug between the head unit and the OEM harness, plus the red wire for power with the key on. I have been watching videos and researching until I'm near blind trying to figure this out. I think I have a handle on it now. Good job! I have been installing car sound systems since the '70s, but the car manufacturers have made things more complicated as the years go by. The Infinity system is an odd one. The door speakers are essentially sub woofers with mid range and tweeters in the dash and pillars...at least on the Ram.
Great video. This is a huge help. Now I understand my bypass harness kit much better. It makes much more sense seeing it. Being installed and not just reading about how to do it.
Nice work but I think I would had taken 4 or even 6 RCAs from radio to back. And used 4 channel amp to power factory speakers and D-class amp for woofer. But this shows what is needed if someone wants to just use their aftermarket radio without any amps at all.
Hi Parker, thanks, good job. Well, I'm French and own a 2006 WH (WK with a diesel) with also a REJ head unit and a Boston Acoustic. Maybe I'll plan to replace the head unit with a touchscreen Android. I guess I won't need to keep the Boston amp. My question is : does it exist a connection harness to connect together the 2 plugs removed from the amplifier and connecting the inputs and the outputs directly after have removed the amp. I mean, that way, don't need to re-install an entire long harness from the back to the front ? Great video. Thanks. Herve.
Great video, man. I stumbled across it for one reason or another not needing the tutorial (I really like the stock head unit in mine-I have the nav system in my 2007 Overland and 6 disc changer w/mp3 in the 2005 Laredo), but you are well explained and this seems easy to follow! Will do if I ever decide to upgrade! ;)
I'm sure that said, there is an easy way to add a sub off the stock system as well with a second amp, but as mine came with the "Premium Sound" I already make enough bass to aggravate my neighbors Lol
Nice video but just tap into the power outlets as they are switched and will be more than enough of a "remote" turn on. Those fuse tap things always end up coming loose at some point.
Does your jeep come factory with the infinity system? Where do the speaker wires from back of the aftermarket head unit tie into? Also what harness did you use?
I have a 06 grand Cherokee with aftermarket radio and factory amp there's only bass on the left side of my car non on the right how do i troubleshoot the factory amp? I wired up the speakers perfectly
Did yours originally have the boston acoustics system? Mine seems to limit the db on the speakers after a certain point, and the front 6x9s don't play mids
When the volume is all the way down do you hear any static from the speakers? I installed an aftermarket radio and I hear static when the volume is turned all the way down. I think the factory amp is the problem. This is in a Honda element with factory sub woofer and factory amp. What would you do if you were me?
So if I were to bypass my stock amp and remove it.. if I were to install after market tweeters, where do I wire them to? They're just small 50w rms 200w max ds18 tweeters.
I have a 2007 Jeep Laredo. My front right tweeter makes a cracking or popping sound at high volumes. It sounds like you’re putting a needle on a record. I replaced both tweeters with aftermarket but the problem persists. I’m struggling to determine what the problem could be. Potentially bad wires running to the tweeters? Bad amp? Do I need an aftermarket stereo? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you haven’t bypassed the factory amp, that is most likely what it is. If you have bypassed it, it could be a number of things. If you’re running more power than the speakers can handle, that could happen. It could be a wiring issue. Look at the specs and make sure everything is cherry
I'd really appreciate your thoughts! I tried running the bypass wires into a Boss bv9386nv stereo and all of the speakers work, except the front right. Not only that, the speakers that do work are much, much quieter than when they were running on the factory amp. I have two Alpine 6x9s in the front and stock speakers in the rear. Any help at all is REALLY appreciated. I can't figure it out!
Parker Dacchille ok thanks. reason i was asking i placed a Sony hi power with all new pioneer two ways & i cant crank the volume more than half ways , if i do it starts cracking popping. distorted sound .
@@JameyCampbell_54 so if you don't bypass the factory Amp and you install a new head unit, wouldn't your speakers get power from both Amp sources? I have a option on my Kenwood to bypass (volume gets low) and through (volume gets louder)
Yusuf Jorgenz your head unit should have a wire that connects to the amp out on the wiring harness behind the dash. It only lets one or the other send power to the door speakers
Just got around to ordering this kit. The problem that I’m having is kind of weird. I had Kicker Ks series speakers installed about a month or so ago and My rear speakers are working fine, but my front door speakers sound like subs and my dash speakers are getting all the highs. Will this kit fix my problem?
@@ParkerTheBasshead, I tried that but, seems no mater what I try I keep loosing my instrument panel and gauges when I turn the stereo.... any idea why? Im getting my harness in a couple of days but still unsure of how to avoid my problem

Awesome Video! I have on 05,06 and 07 GC 💪 now if this needs done I know where to come
Great video. This is a huge help. Now I understand my bypass harness kit much better. It makes much more sense seeing it. Being installed and not just reading about how to do it.
So I basically unplug the stock harness, and plug this new one in and run it to the head unit?
Extremely helpful showing how to use that amp bypass wiring harness! Thanks!!!
Nice work but I think I would had taken 4 or even 6 RCAs from radio to back. And used 4 channel amp to power factory speakers and D-class amp for woofer. But this shows what is needed if someone wants to just use their aftermarket radio without any amps at all.
Great video brother! Everything I needed to know to hook my stereo up! If you did not make this video I would had be out of luck!
what were the other wires in the harness for other than the speaker wires? ya know the ones you said in this video you didn't know what they were for?
Man love all the videos you do keep up the good work. Maybe you can help do you know if a 2017 grand Cherokee overland have a anc system in the Jeep

I really appreciate it! Glad you found it informative.
How did u use the factory amp in the first place the factory amp turn on wire i cant seem to find
Nice video but just tap into the power outlets as they are switched and will be more than enough of a "remote" turn on. Those fuse tap things always end up coming loose at some point.
Does you have a wire harness not being used above your amp im curious what it is
Hey man I have everything connected except the on off switch. Will I still get power to the radio without that connected?
Did u need to install a interface when u installed a aftermarket cd player? My 05 cherokee has the boston acoustics sound system
Excellent - I have the same vehicle and was very helpful. Kudos to you 🤘🤛💪
I m looking for the exact same kit but can t find it… can you telle me the part number or something to help me find it out plz?
How long did it take you to do this from start to finish
which wire is for illumination? and how many from the harness did you not use??
Where did you get the wiring harness from?
Does your jeep come factory with the infinity system? Where do the speaker wires from back of the aftermarket head unit tie into? Also what harness did you use?
Gracias por el vídeo ! 👍🏻👍🏻
Do you tap the factory wires that were plugged into the factory stereo into the amp bypass wires?
Where did you get that single din?
Where did you order harness from?
I have a 06 grand Cherokee with aftermarket radio and factory amp there's only bass on the left side of my car non on the right how do i troubleshoot the factory amp? I wired up the speakers perfectly
Did yours originally have the boston acoustics system? Mine seems to limit the db on the speakers after a certain point, and the front 6x9s don't play mids
Would this work on a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee I am seeing no wiring kit for 2010 just up to 09
Would I lose my steering wheel controls aux and etc by doing this?
Where did you get the wire kit from
Can i keep my steering wheel controls with a amp bypass
I bought the bypass kit and after a day my speakers went out and I put some new ones in and it started staticing what could be causing that
When the volume is all the way down do you hear any static from the speakers? I installed an aftermarket radio and I hear static when the volume is turned all the way down. I think the factory amp is the problem. This is in a Honda element with factory sub woofer and factory amp. What would you do if you were me?

How can i buy a new amplifier card for my Serius Radio
🇭🇹
So the other wires were not used?
Great job
Would it be less work to just run wire from doors speakers direct to speakers and you can use thicker better wire???
Run wire from speaker to amp
Yes maybe but this takes the guess well out of it for your average person

Just buy aftermarket 4 channel and run all new speaker wire. And forget about that factory amp. Saves a big headache
Where is the stock sub located?

Not only that, the speakers that do work are much, much quieter than when they were running on the factory amp. I have two Alpine 6x9s in the front and stock speakers in the rear.

Stock speakers are 2ohm and aftermarket are 4ohm. Upgrade the rear speakers
did u ever figure it out? im upgrading my headunit soon and will need the bypass harness i have 2 jbl 6.5s speakers in the rear
Love your video
Appreciate you bro!
How did you add an aftermarket amp when you already had a factory one
Just buy aftermarket amp and run all new speaker wire and bammm. Factory amp problem solved lol
Will this work with the Boston acustic system and Factory Nav unit?
We’re you ever able to do The Boston acoustic amplifier
Parker, Do you still have the CRUX can bus module that you removed in the video? Would you like to sell it cheap if so?
No I sold it alright, sorry!
@@ParkerTheBasshead Thank you for replying!
I got the same tool kit
great video , do you know if the 02 come with this factory amp?? thanks .
If it is the infinity system it definitely does have a factory amp. If it doesn’t have the infinity system them I’m not sure
Parker Dacchille ok thanks. reason i was asking i placed a Sony hi power with all new pioneer two ways & i cant crank the volume more than half ways , if i do it starts cracking popping. distorted sound .
Sid ok yes I would imagine it must have an amp then and sending in high level signals is causing the factory amp to distort.
@@ParkerTheBasshead the 2005 has a Boston acoustics factory Amp
O hell no that's a lot of wires to run back n forth lol I will bypass this Old skool style 😂 I want an amp.
Any body know the rms watts for that amplifier?
Where can I find this wire harness at for a Dodge Charger 2008 model can anyone help me out
Crutchfield. Com and type in your vehicle. They have the harnesses. I purchased several for different vehicles
Crutchfield did not have this 1 so I ordered it from metra
Hey man just wondering is the sound quality just as good? Running no amp just head unit? Cheers
Zac Wilson better
Factory amp has 1/3 the power output of most modern cheap head units
@@JameyCampbell_54 so if you don't bypass the factory Amp and you install a new head unit, wouldn't your speakers get power from both Amp sources? I have a option on my Kenwood to bypass (volume gets low) and through (volume gets louder)
Yusuf Jorgenz your head unit should have a wire that connects to the amp out on the wiring harness behind the dash. It only lets one or the other send power to the door speakers
@@JameyCampbell_54 Yep. I "upgraded" to the Kicker amp and could literally tell no difference between it and the BA amp.
I'm trying to by pass infinity gold amp 2002 jeep Cherokee laredo
Crutchfield has the plug and play harness that you need. I did this for a 2006 Jeep Commander and a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
RobWilliams77033 link?
question what happens is i leave the amp in?
Leaving the amp in does nothing of your going to bypass it. Hope this helps 3 weeks late😁
@@bigbootyfela543 I meant leaving the amp and wiring to it but now I know it needs an module to work thanks
Bro slow down on your panning.
That factory amp sucks.Its a good paper weight.Its not like your beautiful aftermarket Amp.
The link took me to an amp instead of the wiring kit.
Well shoot! Not at my computer but I’ll fix that ASAP!

Can you add a sub to the factory amp ?
Hey parker if you every open up your jeep again rip out the factory amp harness and Ill pay you for it.
I would totally send it to you but I had to plug the wire harness adapter into the old harness
And he paid about close to 170 for that harness forget that
30$ bro just got them
Where? Send the link if it's the right one
Quality stuff
Look it up on Amazon
Keeps taking down the link
G'z get a good radio if you are going to do all this.. pioneer sucks
i need help with mine, cant figure out acc. input. on my 05' jeep grand cherokee
I had to run it to a 12v switched fuse
@@ParkerTheBasshead, I tried that but, seems no mater what I try I keep loosing my instrument panel and gauges when I turn the stereo.... any idea why? Im getting my harness in a couple of days but still unsure of how to avoid my problem
ruby rl the harness should have your constant 12v and ground so I’d wait till it comes in and see if that fixes it.
@@ParkerTheBasshead does it come with instructions
are the steering wheel buttons working after this?
No
