Hey F250, why not get a plugin to wire to your JVC head unit? Wally World or any Automative Audio Shop should carry one on the shelf. That way you don't have to cut the wiring.

If you really need a wiring diag, try here: http://www.installdr.com/

I recommend buying the harness from your local automotive as well. I just changed the stock radio to a Pioneer head. The change was easy and you can do all the wiring to the new head out of the truck, then plug and play. Good luck. BTW The part here in NY cost me $17.

Thumbs up

I agree. Go get yourself a adapter harness. It will save you time and if something should ever go wrong with your new unit (hopefully under warranty), or if you don't like it, it will be much easier to replace.
