The harness has 9 wires, I will break them down for you. 1. Constant 12 volt 2. Power on 12 volt 3. Ground 4. Front Ground 5. Left Front 6. Right Front 7. Rear Ground 8. Left Rear 9 Right Rear Both the front and the rear will share the common ground. So when the harness adapter is wired in, you will simply wire both of the front (or rear) ground wires to the single ground. Other wires for ATT, Antenna, AMP Trigger, etc run from the head unit and hook up separately and without cutting in most cases. The antenna control wire, blue, will plug directly in. The ATT, used for auto muting installed cell phone systems is almost never used, and the AMP trigger must be run to your amplifier to turn it on and off. It is reccomended that if you do install an amp, run it's ground wire from the same location as the radio to prevent a HUMM or "ground loop". Using my harness adapter in this way allows you to connect a new head unit to the existing Delorean wire harness without making a single cut to it. Instead, my wire harness is the one that get's patched into the head unit and will simply plug directly into the original Delorean wire harness. This is how my unit is connected and works fine. If for some reason your head unit needs separate grounds for each speaker you would need to run your own ground connections, however this has never been a problem yet. Alternatively, the other end of my wire harness that is chopped off can be added to the original Craig radio and it could be hooked up to another system if you desired. You could also get (or build) an adapter for your Craig radio and have the ability to quickly pull out your new DIN head amp unit, unplug it from the harness and plug the original Craig back in for use at car shows or concourse competitions. The switch would take seconds. * Note: If you are doing a major radio upgrade, in which you will either cut or replace the console plate to accomadate the new DIN stereo, you will need to remove the center console cover that runs through the middle of the car. All of the wire harnesses run through this part. It would be wise to buy 3 sets of 12" RCA stereo cords and run them from the head amp to the back of the car under this console just in case you decide to add an amp later. The 3 sets are for front, rear and sub. ...that is if you plan on adding a speaker box, amp, etc. But you never know, so that's why I reccomend it so that it is there and you won't have to rip the console apart again to add it. So far I have sold about 20 of the harness adapters without a single complaint, and my instructions were put together well enough that so far no one has called me for tech support yet. If anyone has any questions please contact me directly. Thanks.
