Frequently Asked Questions - 70-5000 Metra

Is the Metra 70-5000 compatible with my vehicle?

The 70-5000 is designed for select 1998-up Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and similar vehicles. Check your factory radio harness shape and pinout before purchase.

How do I match the wires from the adaptor to my aftermarket receiver?

Match wires by function (e.g., power, ground, speaker) not by color. Refer to your receiver manual for wire functions.

What is the illumination wire and how do I connect it?

The illumination wire (Orange or Orange/White) controls dimming. If your receiver has an illumination wire, connect them by function. If not, tape off the wire.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a wire stripper and a crimp tool. Crimp caps are included.

Can I use this harness with any aftermarket stereo?

Yes, as long as the receiver uses standard aftermarket wire functions. The adaptor converts the vehicle harness to universal wires.

Do I need to connect the ground wire?

If your vehicle's harness does not include a ground wire, connect the receiver's ground wire to chassis ground (metal part of the car).

What if I have unused wires?

Individually wrap any unused wires with electrical tape to prevent short circuits.

How do I crimp the wires properly?

Strip wires 1/2 inch, twist them together, insert into the crimp cap, and squeeze the middle with a crimp tool until tight.

Is this product still manufactured?

The 70-5000 is a widely available adaptor and is still in production as of 2025. Check with retailers for stock.

What should I do if the adaptor wires are damaged?

The harness is not repairable. Replace with a new Metra 70-5000 for safe installation.
