Extending Factory HU wires

**BLK MAJK** · 02-01-2006, 07:16 PM

Ok, Im gonna relocate my Factory HU to the glovebox to make room for a screen. My question is, is there any place that sells OEM connectors (I know I could buy a wiring harness made for installing an aftermarket HU, but then I still need a male end for the radio) so I can make basically an 'expension cord' that I just just plug in at both ends? (I just want the male/female connectors, and I can put my own wires in) Or would I be better off just cutting the wires and putting a spliced wire in each one?

The splicing wires in between each one is the only idea I can think of, just make sure you tape them really good. But as far as any store that might sell those...I have no clue

What car do you have? I have a Honda, and I actually managed to buy two connectors (one male and one female) and I built a nice long extension out of it!

I bought them at http://store.edschoice.net/ but that site no longer exists (!?)

Go to the junkyard and cut the end that plugs into your radio out of another Pontiac. Then go get one of the Metra or whatever wiring kits for your car and splice the 2 together with whatever length wire you need. Easy as that.

i had a similar issue, and I simply found someone that was parting out their crashed car and had them cut off the harness for me.

Like suggested above, Junkyard it. You can find them at a decent size junkyard and just yank them. Make sure the one you yank it from has the same radio as the one you have.
