Is there an antenna wire behind the radio...? If not i think you have to bypass the amp located in RR of vehicle...Or run new leads from deck to speaker...Or an amp intergration harness...Is there a Kinda long grey plug...then a more square green or black plug... ?

i think thats only on the explorer sport edition that you have to take apart the rear quarter panel to make the antenna work.

Was it a converteror wire harness from Crutchfield?

What didn't work on it? Did the radio power up with no output?

That's Why we've got to take the power back! RATM

You can get to all of the amp outputs in the pass. running board area.

Should be the same colors as I listed in my first post!
