3. Wire Connections: Using splice connectors, connect the wires from the interface harness to the corresponding wires on your new stereo's harness. Match colors carefully. Some wires, such as amplifier turn-on, parking sense, and specific steering wheel control connections, may not connect directly to the vehicle harness and require separate connections.
