I am trying to install an Eclipse AVN52D into my wifes 2005 Ford Expedition. Can someone give me a wireing diagram for this. I have found a facory diagram for the speaker wires, but that is it. Also where do I attach the reverse/parking/speed cables up too?

I have also attached a parrot Eclipse BT-E500 if that makes a difference!

You aren't using a harness???? Get a Metra 70 5521 and it's a 30 minute install. Speed sense is on the radio harness, gray/black. Park brake is at the park prake, GREEN/ red. Reverse is BLACK/ pink in the DKP...

Well I would use a harness except the previous owner of the expo decided to cut off the factory pinout! so I have to use butt splices to connect it all... The other reason for not using that harness is that it just acts like a middle man anyways since I will have to cut and splice the wireing for the parrot bluetooth since it has 2 seperate pinouts instead of one! I understand that a harness makes it easier when it comes to the color conversion of the wiring, but without the factory female end it does me no good cause I do not know where the original factory wires would plug into! can I get a factory color harness with a female end to just reattach with butt splices?

The aftermarket harness Metra makes into the car has aftermarket colors. I suppose you could hit a junk yard, practically all Fords used this same plug thru most the decade. Here's what Avox lists as colors for the car...

Battery		LIGHT GREEN/ VIOLET		(+)		RADIO HARNESS
	Accesory		PINK/LIGHT GREEN		(-)		RADIO HARNESS
	Ground		BLACK/ LIGHT GREEN		(-)		RADIO HARNESS
	Illumination		LIGHT BLUE/RED		(+)		RADIO HARNESS
	LF Speaker (+)		ORANGE / LIGHT GREEN
	LF Speaker (-)		LIGHT BLUE/WHITE
	RF Speaker (+)		WHITE/ LIGHT GREEN
	RF Speaker (-)		GREEN/ ORANGE
	LR Speaker (+)		GRAY/LIGHT BLUE
	LR Speaker (-)		TAN / YELLOW
	RR Speaker (+)		ORANGE / RED
	RR Speaker (-)		BROWN / PINK
