General Installation Steps:

- Connect Harness: Plug the Scosche harness into your vehicle's factory wiring harness.

Maintenance
The Scosche TA02BCB Stereo Wiring Harness is constructed from durable Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) material and designed for long-term performance. Once installed correctly, it requires no ongoing maintenance. Ensure all connections remain secure and free from moisture or excessive vibration.
Troubleshooting
No Audio or Incorrect Audio Output:
- Check for Factory Amplified Systems: This harness is not compatible with factory amplified systems. If your vehicle has a stock JBL system, or one with rear entertainment or headphone jacks, it likely has an external stock amplifier. In such cases, this harness may not function correctly, and a different interface (e.g., Metra TYTO-01 for JBL systems) might be required to bypass or integrate with the amplifier. Always confirm your vehicle's audio system configuration before installation.
- Verify Connections: Double-check all wire connections between the aftermarket stereo and the Scosche harness, ensuring they match the EIA color code and your stereo's manual.
- Inspect Crimp Connections: Ensure that the pre-terminated crimp connectors are fully seated and have a solid connection to the wires.
