Go to WALMART, or Canadian Tire and buy a cheater plug!
Wire the cheater plug to the aftermarket deck plug, and then it becomes a plug and play application very simple, and everything works proper when finished!
Do not cut any of your factory plugs or wires.

^^^thats what I did, I bought the regular Ford harness, and then there is another one for the amps. Hooked them both up and worked like a charm! And cost me half of the metra harness. Just make sure you put a 1k ohm resistor in the remote wire, or you'l get a nasty popping sound every time you turn the radio on. Something about the aftermarket sends 12V to the amp where the OEM HU only send 6V

haha, yep. It can get quite annoying. I had to put one in mine, it was popping every time, and loud too. Glad I could help
