Frequently Asked Questions - 70-5700 Metra

What vehicles is the Metra 70-5700 compatible with?
The 70-5700 fits select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models from 1998-2005, including Ford Crown Victoria (1998-2001), Escape (2001-03), Explorer (1998-2003), Mustang with Mach 460/1000 (2001-03), Thunderbird (2002-03), and more. See the full list in the manual.
What is the purpose of the 8-way subwoofer plug?
The 8-way subwoofer plug provides connections for a factory subwoofer. All vehicles use the top row of wires (white, white/black, black/white, blue/white). Some vehicles like the Mustang and Lincoln LS also use the bottom row for an additional sub input. The Thunderbird uses the bottom row for a center channel.
How do I wire the 16 and 20-way connectors?
Follow the EIA/Metra color code printed on the package. The 16-way connector typically handles speaker outputs and power, while the 20-way handles additional signals like steering wheel controls or illumination. Match wire colors to your aftermarket radio's wiring harness.
What wire colors are used for the amplifier turn-on?
The blue/white wire is used for amplifier turn-on. It connects to the remote turn-on lead of your aftermarket radio. For the Thunderbird center channel, the same blue/white wire is used for the center channel amp turn-on.
Does the 70-5700 include instructions?
Yes, installation instructions are included with the harness. They detail wiring for the 16 and 20-way connectors and specific configurations for vehicles with subwoofers or center channels.
Can I use this harness with an aftermarket radio?
Yes, the 70-5700 is designed to connect an aftermarket radio to the factory wiring in compatible vehicles. You will need to match the wire colors from the harness to your radio's wiring (soldering or crimping required).
What if my vehicle has a factory amplifier?
The harness includes wires for amplifier turn-on and signal ground. For vehicles with a factory subwoofer, use the 8-way plug as described. If your vehicle has an amplified system, ensure the blue/white wire is connected to the amp turn-on.
Is the 70-5700 a direct plug-in?
The harness plugs directly into the vehicle's factory radio connector(s). However, you must wire the other end to your aftermarket radio. It is not a completely passive adapter; some assembly is required.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need wire strippers, crimpers (or a soldering iron), electrical tape or heat shrink, and a multimeter for testing connections. Disconnect the battery before starting.
Do I need to reprogram anything after installation?
No, the harness does not require programming. However, some vehicles with factory amplifiers or digital signal processing may require additional adapters (not included) to retain features like chimes or warning tones.
